non porn induced fetishes

Dear Reboot Commounity,

is anyone of you dealing with fetishes you had before using porn?

Being tied up turned me on long before I was exposed to any kind of porn. In fact, it was the first sexual fantasy I had.

Don't quite know how to deal with it now.

Hi buddy,

interesting, I have the same question. I think I have a foot fetish and a fetish for dominant woman, but after 15 day no PMO, I'm not sure anymore. Slowly I have the feel that the fetish fantasies came/ from porn.
I remember that I was attracted to this as a boy (~13yo) but never was really a strong desire. But after I started with internet porn (~18yo) I developed a strong fetish until today.

That is so strange, I'm not sure about my sexuality anymore. I try to be patient and observe myself and I'm somehow curios what will happen.

Stay strong!
Marco

Ive always had a foot fetish, but I think I was using sexual acts, lusts and then a couple years later porn to numb anxieties and stressors.  Over the years, i went from getting turned on from pictures, play, to fantasizing about being dominated, bdsm, etc etc... its definitely gained incredible strength over the years.  Now, im in a relationship that I want to last and develop a family with. Day by day...

About the same thing here andrewood. But porn has really turned those small fetishes into something strong. But as time has passed, those things lose their power. After a complete reboot, then you will know your real fetishes and can accept them as part of you.

Honestly, I think most of us may be unable to answer this question (yet). The only point I'd feel entitled to would be abstinence from porn for a long term (e. g. more than a year), since I cannot really recall having much sexual stimulation before discovering porn (back in the modem days). However, I strongly intend to find out whether my current and past fetishes would still persevere.
