KING NBC TV Interview, Rob Weiss, Out of the Doghouse
I totally agree. Gay men have more sex not because of homosexuality but because of male privilige. Actually, all of the things gay men are looked down for come from male privilige.
exactly as you described at the beginning doc. imagination is my escape. never had a gf. im an escort addict suffering everyday. masturbation doesnt even do it for me. i need to pay for sex and then i regret it because in the end it wasnt "that special". but after about 2 days the feeling kicks in again,i pay for sex,regret it and repeat. living in a country that prositution is easily available and legal makes it even worse.
Thanks for an excellent analysis
The best, an excellent analysis. Thanks
15 year porn addict ( 1 1/2 free now) until recently I didn’t feel as though it was cheating. My wife said it would’ve been better if I just had an affair rather then this. I feel as though I’m at a good place now but she is still saying im addicted, as I ask her to wear something provocative ( in her eyes) . Or if we are out in public and she sees someone dressed a certain way I like she’s offended as she feels that I’m checking them out. For this it’s very difficult to be in public with her
This shit is scary its like he knows me i just sitting here in shock
SX is the only thing that can break the mind loop that runs 24/7 nonstop driving you mad.
This is crazy. I didn’t realise my Problem quite as clearly as this. Being Catholic recently has helped me a lot but I’m still struggling.
Aye, Doc., Anytime the googlement uses "MY", devices or useage history to try n shame me or sell me, or demean me, I make it a point to comment to the youtuber or advertiser, at least once. So please forgive me!!!! I searched Corrina Slusser sex trafficked on websites Googles allows. Xhamster, pornhub. And here you are!😂! Sex trafficking cases against Zuckerberg is 220, if a poor sclep like me had "ONE", case id be in jail. The fact that the owners of the website, hotel, is walking FREE, is proof of the parasites that idiot that patted the insurance scammer on the back. The FACT that coppers, FBI,NSA,CIA,Infragard all failed in "protecting", society, can only mean one thing, They are the ones thst need to be held accountable. Ya know the good book says cannot serve two masters. They chosen the wrong one and society is "SCREAMING", for righteousness from the alphabet people.
P.S. 4 books "DIRECTED", at the judges, judging by society and the self righteous attitude holier than thou. Looks like God is fulfilling prophecies.😂 It's good to be a crazy Christian as Dr. Schill, (I mean Dr. Phil says.
Dude this guy is annoying.
My twinflame has a sex-addiction. He married a karmic with a fetish.
39:02 YESSS IT’S THE DISCONNECT
Robert Weiss on this presentation and other videos makes inappropriate comments especially towards women and occasionally towards men (example - the size of the congressman's genitals) - all under the guise of humor. That's enough for me to stop the video. It ain't funny to me. It's a subtle form of shame and manipulation, and i hope that you, Robert, wil explore your own wounds, and then stop that offensive behavior. It's hard to believe that your CSAT training did not confront you with this glaring behavior.
If you give a guy anabolic steroids, he’ll become way more horny. I wonder if some of these guys has excess testosterone
In some cases, sexual addiction is about sex. I stopped my proclivities because it was ruining my life. It's still a struggle to make sound decisions in my personal life and I'm happily married. Porn was never an issue for me. Loose women, strip clubs and chat/phone lines were my weaknesses.
I live in Atlanta, GA, and I can't find sex therapists that care about people, not money. Can you guys recommend someone?
sticky floors...Yep. been there way too many times.
🦞🦞🦞
sex addiction is not fun. so good to hear these words. every time I would act out my lust, I would inadvertently trigger my childhood trauma. the friends (at the time) never understood me...because they loved sex.
It's SO refreshing to hear you speak. I was an active sex addict for about 13 years. 20 to 33 very heavy. Got into recovery and got better but never cured. i.e. today I found a man playing his harmonica at the train station. I commented on how good he was at playing. Next thing we were having a conversation and my head started to fantasy. So that self-soothing behavior never goes away, but I can surrender my feelings by acceptance. The unexpected experiences are always the most powerful in terms of fantasy. Porn has never been a problem for me, thankfully. Thank you for sharing your stuff on TH-cam.
7:51 even worse when it becomes s3xual massages or escorts.
6:24 going through this a lot now with a mortgage and no iob, loss of hf of 4+ yrs too.
Men just love seeing nude women, and the vulva is fascinating to men. Not all men can become gynecologists
Im a recovering porn addict. Ive watched a ton of porn. But ive never had sex with someone else. Im now at 16 months porn free. I have had 2 relapses and 1 slip. 2 were softcore stuff and the 3rd was watching youtube videos of women half dressed. I havent pmo'ed to porn in 16 months.
Limerence fantasy. Like my dismissive avoidant cheated on me. Now I study about avoidant attachment style to understand how she self soothe through working a lot, alcohol and sex. Bc her parents neglected her and build mistrust with humans. My other alcoholic ex used tell I don't know how alcohol got to my fridge and don't remember driving to liquor store. For me life was great with my family full of love and affections from both parents and growing up in culture with zero addiction of only smoking cigarettes and strick Muslim culture people take families and children very seriously. So, I never had been neglected or abused any ways. But living in western cultures shocked me how people behave and hurt themselves and others. After studying human behaviors and working in behavioral health care every day I learn new stuff about human behaviors and what they been through in their childhood leads to adulthood to unpredictable behaviors that destroys relationships and society as whole. Turns culture of addicts and mental illnesses. There is lot of help and resources at there hope people turn their life around not choose to suffer forever bc of their toxic parents or not knowing how to raise a child in healthy way. God Bless you all.
Great breakdown 👌🏾 ❤.
It’s disturbing that she sees threesomes as being healthy.
Excellent breakdown. Helpful and clear as always. Thank you so much for posting these resources!
Damn, I’m both. Dealt with one, one to go.
Dr Rob I’m searching for a couples therapist who specializes in sex therapy. It’s 3:00 pm EST
It's really sad that many gay men use drugs and sex to cope with traumas instead of processing it in a healthier way. HIV, Syphilis, and Mpox will be teachers to the community. Eventually the tide will turn due to these - in a healthier more supportive direction. Otherwise, if a man isn't going to give me commitment and support...... why shouldn't I go for a woman instead ?
This helped me, thank you
I acted out with other women the entirety of my 18 years of marriage. I was also addicted to opiates and meth which fueled my sex addiction. Somehow through it all my wife realized that none of what I did had anything to do with not loving her. I was sick and needed help. I got clean from drugs and got treatment for sex addiction. 3 years sober and my wife and 3 boys are back together with me. So grateful. Very few marriages survive what we went through. Now that I am sober, present with her and the boys, honest in everything I do and say, our relationship better than ever. Guess I’m one of the lucky ones. The 12 step meetings I go to most if not all are no longer married or on 2nd or 3rd marriage.
There is no such thing as porn or sex addiction. Just scam artists trying to make money off a boogey man
@@Lacuna1122 There is such a thing actually. "empirical evidence suggest that the psychological and neurobiological mechanisms involved in addictive disorders are also valid for p0rnography-use disorder."
What the hell is this guy talking about. Just cause you got a degree doesn't necessarily mean you know what the hell you're talking about. Nonsense
I guess crossdressing should be redirected to be done in a way that is prideful
Is crossdressing an addiction?
1 19:03 Thank you for your supportive message, it validates my feelings and makes me feel normal. I have been betrayed many times,my husband has lost my trust and in part me.
Your videos are so helpful! Thank you for posting them.
Call it what it is: “I have a toddler’s level of patience. I can’t control my urges like a child. Professionals tell me I have sex addiction because telling me I lack self control won’t get them paid.” Your not sex addicted, your addicted to self gratification or validation. Just like eating disorders, they aren’t eating disorders, their mental illnesses based on out of control vanity. Emotional abuse from a parent is a possibility. Your problem isn;t with food or sex, it’s with your inability to control yourself
The irony is that all addiction is an attempt to control. It’s an inability to surrender to and fully feel/accept the moment in whatever form it takes and whatever feelings arise. So they escape through the behavior or substance of choice, which ends up recreating the “not being able to control oneself” overall state of being which was the persistent reality throughout their childhood. The issue with the way you write it is that it makes people feel ashamed, which is the root of why they seek to escape their reality in the first place. They feel ashamed to be feeling a certain way, going through a certain thing, etc. You may be somewhat correct, but you’re missing the mark.
Awww poor whittle sex addicts getting laid I feel so bad for them. /sar What a stupid stupid addiction. You’re addicted to dopamine. You’re addicted to being validated. You probably have an ego problem. I don’t have any sympathy for sex addiction. What nonsense. “‘I need help! I can’t stop getting laid!’ 😂😂😂
@@catharinamariatheresia1626 its kind of ironic because i take psych tests and rank extremely high in empathy and conscientiousness. I think i just dont care for first world problems like this. The cure for sex addiction is controlled suffering and zero attention. I mean... its a problem that is so unique and privileged that its actually disgusting to me, to try and empathize with this person. Weird I know. I feel this way about a lot of 'problems' in the West. What we Need is Not getting what we Want. That will solve all of our behavioral problems. I save my empathy for those who Need it. My empathy doesn't permit to care about ridiculous things like sex addiction, obesity, eating disorders, because I'm too conscious of real suffering. The cure for all of those is a healthy amount of suffering. Anyone will agree that becoming a better person always involves tragedy/suffering and unfairness in some way. Some kind of friction of the mind, body, and spirit. sorry for the rant :O tldr; they don't have enough salt in their soup and they try to make soups with sugar
@@catharinamariatheresia1626 maybe it got deleted by YT I'm just coming at it from a diff perspective. I think the problem is lack of ability to regulate desire and emotion. Buddhism is a cure for that. (the ego) About judging... I think our culture needs someone to judge. If we accept that, "its all a matter of opinion" we basically leave objectivity behind and descend into the post modernist "my truth" ideologies. Maybe I came off harsh, I just don't have much empathy for first world problems like that. The basic problem is attachment and desire. They are attached. In the case of sex addiction, its pleasure addiction. I just dont see it as a trauma, I see it more as self gratification and egoism. So I just don't take it that seriously. Thats why psych's work so good on these first world problems because they tear down the ego. i think even entertaining that conversation is indicating how far weve fallen morally and spiritually. Sex addiction is actually just addiction to pleasure... By its nature it requires lots of casual sex which is self serving. Its all about the ego. People champion these diagnoses and syndromes so they dont have to admit that they "just like doing it." Like obesity basically stems from an addiction to pleasure. Our culture is very pleasure oriented. Whatever you want can be had. Getting what you need requires you to stop fulfilling your wants. I'm not really talking about complex abuse resulting in addiction...in that case I would be highly empathetic if it would help to heal the trauma. I'd still prescribe a buddhist style of healing though. Non attachment, and non desire practice.
Is lieing about their behavior part of the adrenaline and arousal rush?
My boy cyraxx masturbates 15 times a day! What would you recommend for him?
Is the anus a sex organ ?
100% agree, I just realized that Mario updated his favorite way to tackle ED and it's crazy! Although what he previously talked about was pretty decent, it was difficult to follow, I just go'ogled the latest by Mario Volpstein, it's so much simpler and potent now!
Was SA when i was 13 in 1981. My ex bro in law. It was awful. I identify as gay. I looked at porn in 1979 but always looked at straight porn and some gay porn. i spent lots of money on videos and magazines. I did cruising for 15 years. I was a bottom practicing bareback sex. I did get tested negative. I just had some awakening to stop the porn a week ago and its helped a lot. As for cruising for anonymous one night sex I hadnt done that for many years. Do i still think about that? Yes but acting on it no. I am almost 60 and just have the desire to do it anymore. I blame porn for my sex addiction. Most likely being SA didnt help but been getting help overcoming it by therapy (cognitive) made me stronger. I dont miss it. I feel now that love does not mean sex. Some gay men were pushed into this mentality of the perfect man partner which gay porn has pushed onto men you have to be hot, well endowed, muscular or slim, masculine or mainly white. Gay non porn mags are the same way. Tv shows are to portray that image. I just done with that thinking . I am not perfect and I am glad i am not . Perfection in appearance is sadly dominating gay men in all forms. Thank goods my mind is getting much better
Yup I’m at sex & love addict I used sex to get love because didn’t get love at home 😢 very toxic chaotic home life growing up ! I was sexually physically emotionally and abused I would fantasize about being married and having the perfect life & couldn’t wait to move out and get married Probably still do to this day ! All I want is a normal healthy relationship ❤ I just broke up with someone who has sex addiction alcoholism He says he wasn’t traumatized. He won’t admit it but the things he’s told me - he’s denying it We had a rough relationship because he pleasured himself 3 to 4 times a day bc he said he has bad anxiety and then we didn’t have sex very often - very hurtful for me bc of my addiction
🙏🙏🙏🙏for you.
Whilst I understand this, my problem with it is that surely it means everyone who had traumatic or abusive childhoods would become addicts? Which we know isn't true. So if it is not just as simple to focus on this.
Do not forget the other trauma survivors turn to food addiction, eating disorders, shopping addiction, gambling, substance use, work addiction, etc. Everyone has something. Most people hide it.
I DECIDED TO GO TO A “DEAD BEDROOM “ FOREVER …THIS MAKES ME FEEL VERY GOOD ABOUT MYSELF ….I FEEL MUCH BETTER KNOWING HE HAS NO ACCESS . 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you for opening my eyes
