Take a trip to the Philippines or Thailand. You will lose your addiction for $160 hookers pretty quickly.

I've seriously tried to break my addiction and nothing has worked until I took a trip to Asia. Now I don't waste any money here and just save up my money for all-out mongering trips to Asia once every few months.

I am the same. I only get over there about once every 4-6 months and it can be very HARD in the times between, but the experience is so much better over there that I've decided it's just better to wank it until I can enjoy the GFE and hotties that only Thailand provides.

Guess it just depends on the person.

Take note of some asians in the Bay Area, on a sunny day they have an umbrella, wear gloves (even when driving) hats & high collar shirts when outside, they hate the sun & sun tans.

As he plummeted downward he saw a large sign on the ground that read, "Chinese Torture 3: Right testicle tied to bedpost."

Yes, this is a good way to think about it. And as a married man, I do enjoy eating out on occassion, or even when I make up an occassion!

And I know what you mean about using the experiences with these gorgeous women to help tame that aspect of the mind that goes crazy in the presence of lovely ladies. I hope this hobby helps me bring my fire under control.

My latest idea: You know the old adage, "God gave man two heads, but only enough blood to use one at a time." ? This is true. But here's what I've been trying to do. As the blood rushes from big head to little head , I try to remember I am getting MORE than enough blood to use the little head. Try to allow much of that extra blood to go back upstairs. Keep your big head fully fed, too!

I find that hobbying has not allowed me to see providers as individuals. They are businesswomen performing a service for me.

You are saying that if you get enough sex from providers and your wife, then sexual thoughts don't run you so much. As a result, you can be friends with women who don't want to be treated solely as sex objects.

Good for you!

All girlfriends are not created equal. Relationships change in time.
The urge that drives an addict is variable given the circumstances of your life.
Don’t forget, sex addicts are after a mood altering affect to cope with stress in life.
It’s the fix that makes everything OK for a while.
There is a greater likelihood of negative consequences if your addiction is out of control.
As with all addiction, the more negative consequences there are, the greater the need will be to continue the activity.
Think downward spiral.

<> is it better to have a wife or girlfriend where there is at least some sex going on, or to be single with no other source of sex? In other words, is it more dangerously addictive if the redbook gal is your only source of sex? <>

I have experienced more stress in my life as a result of having a SO.
Although loneliness is sometimes an issue when single,
I have less stress and it easier the cope with my emotions.
I am currently getting involved in another relationship and I sense the emotional rollercoaster ahead.

It always amazes me to find guys who can juggle without any apparent impact on their emotional wellbeing.

Are you saying by inference that the more positive the consequences there are, the less the need to continue the activity? Think upward spiral.

Love will find a lay

I think this is accurate.
Positive consequences as a result of your actions = feeling of gratification, sense of fulfillment, greater feeling of autonomy and confidence = greater sense of control, less stress, not at the affect of underlying negative emotions = more attractive to the opposite sex = enhanced ability to attract company and get laid. Upward spiral.

Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater!
Everything in moderation.
