Okay, I guess I should start with some background information. I’m a straight male out of Philadelphia, born and raised. I’m certain that I have a foot addiction problem…probably rooted from my youth. I’ve never written or developed my feelings about any of it in this format before, so bear with me if this gets out of hand.
I’ve had this addiction for as long as I can remember, but it seems to be snowballing. What was once before a several times per week acitivty has now come to be a twice-daily or more ritual. My behaviors have become increasingly aggressive.
I know that this behavior risks my livelihood and that it stands to reason that I need to stop this. But I can’t bring myself to do it. And therapy is not for me. I’ve gone the route before, but with less-than-optimal results. There needs to be another option for me that will prevent me from these explicitly self-destructive behaviors.
I have been a foot fetishist for years now and after reading several articles, I’m now aware that most fetishes stem from something in the childhood. I can’t think of any specific trigger in my youth that has created this, but it more than occasionally interrupts me during sex. I wish I could find a way to ameliorate this sexual dysfunction, as it sometimes puts a strain on my life. I mean, it’s okay every now and then, but I want to indulge my fetish all the time. Any advice on how to overcome this challenge without a one-on-one with a psychotherapist would be greatly appreciated.
Either way, I need help. So I beseech you all to help me with as much advice (positive or negative) as you wish to offer. If you do, I will keep you posted on how the advice works out for me on a weekly basis.
