Working remotely causing my fetishes to turn into an addiction

gnomes101982 · Oct 3, 2020

Not sure if anyone else has experienced this as a result of working from home. Due to covid-19 I've been working remotely since the end of April and my agency wants to continue this pattern for as long as possible (maybe for good from some indications). For most of the time I focused on work because my wife and her daughter from a previous marriage were also home with me. Over the past month things have changed. My wife has been back at work and her daughter is back in school days. I now have a LOT of free alone time that I didn't have in a very long time. While I thought this would be a great time to do things that I always complain I can't when everyone his home (reading, exercising, cleaning, ect...) I found that I have developed a very unhealthy habit. I am spending the majority of time between 9am and 2:30pm watching porn and over-indulging in my fetishes. My job is pretty easy to do from home so I have way too much time that I don't know what else to do with. I'm at a point where I'm masturbating on average at least twice daily. It's starting to worry me that it has become a full on addiction. I hate working from home but my job pays well and I don't really want to test the waters in a shaky economy at the moment. Is anyone else having issues like this due to working from home???

I have not experienced this response, however I do feel the craving to have a session growing more intensely than it normally would. I would heavily recommend you pick up a healthier hobby or something you can focus on improving with to fill your time. If this is something that is feeling like more of an obsession than an urge, I can't see it being very beneficial in the long run. If it is actually impossible to stop doing what you're doing, you may need to talk to a professional.

No, but I'm able to enjoy tickling regularly so maybe that's why

Stop masturbating to tickle porn.
Fill your time with something more constructive.
Unless, you know, you like your addiction.
I like mine.
Ketamine is my drug of choice though.

Been working from home most of my adult life and never had that issue. I could be talkin' out my rear end here, but it sounds to me as if there's a possibility you may be in a sexually unsatisfying and maybe all around unhappy marriage (I was there myself once - and that's actually when i discovered and signed up for the TMF in its super early days).

I'd say look into this aspect of if you're getting what you need with your partner. That's usually the key to why something like what your experiencing may happen.

That's a really good observation.

I've been in the situation of feeling like my "only options" were working and indulging, and I wasn't happy with it. What helped me was the above advice: finding a non-sexual, non-computer, hobby to commit to (bonus points if it involves leaving the house, although that's a bigger ask in current times). Vintage car restoration in the garage, wood-working at a local shop, community gardening... the possibilities are endless, but find one that you actually enjoy.
