I do not mean to belittle your goal, it is just that I think it is outside the realm of AVRT. If masturbating as an activity or obssession with the subject is causing health or welfare issues , then self directed intervention woudl seem the proper course, just not sure if AVRT is that 'path'.
"nature " of the beast, vs nature of the 'beast'
Dwtbd,
A I do not mean to be rude, but all your talk is pure AV, beast at very large.
"is just that I think it is outside the realm of AVRT". I guess on this comment that you have a large beast of masturbation and porn inside you. But it's just a guess. If it is, then you are free to load yourself with sex, masturbation or porn, that is up to you. But if you decide not, then you will not do it, period. You do not have a genetic disease. Saying sex is not a behaviour but a disease is the same as saying AVRT is not for sex addictions. And moderation is also a beast talk in this matter. You are literally saying that sex ADDICTION, masturbation ADDICTION, porn ADDICTION is outside of ADDICTED voice recognition technique scope, it's simply doesn't make sense, why would you say an ADDICTION is outside of avrt? If it would AVRT even would not have the ADDICTIVE word in the first place. The only familiar comments and arguments that remember me your comments is my beast, and the beast of sex. I recommend you read chapter 30 of the art of AVRT titled sex beast, it will help you understand what AVRT really is about.
Dwtbd,
If it is your case, I'm not saying it is but if it is, imagine how would you feel if you would never masturbate or see any form of porn ever again?
See, there your beast just cringed
