Suggest Treatment For OCD
Question: Since I last wrote you, I had been trying to use self control to fight my urges to text or write a Facebook message to my female friend when I get to a certain arousal level that I can't fight. Up until very recently, she has been very tolerant and would just not respond to something she was uncomfortable with. But, one day she finally blocked me from messaging her on her work phone. I'm devastated, though she has reassured me that she's still a friend, but she had had enough of me trying to get her to talk about masturbation with me. This incident opened my eyes to how bad my compulsions have become. I've had the urge to start going for massages and happy endings, but the women friends who used to give me massages and masturbate me later are not working anymore. I've been researching possible therapists, but have doubt whether I could talk about masturbation with a doctor in person (as opposed to online messaging) . It would be even harder for me I think if the doctor happened to be very attractive like you. Can I beat this without seeing someone in person? I'm grateful to be able to talk to someone about this.
