today I'm going to talk about how to
manage compulsive sexual behavior before
I jump into it I just want to say that I
receive many emails from people who view
my videos and a lot of them are
wonderful and thanking me for doing the
videos and I will say even though I
can't answer all of them I really do
appreciate them and they want to make me
keep going and and doing more videos to
hopefully help other people who I can't
see in my office
that may be on the other side of the
world or simply just can't afford to
come see me I also want to be able to
help you as well and make your life
better and dealing with a sexual issue
the truth of the matter is it can affect
a person's life tremendously
it can affect a relationship that
they're in and it really can become
something that keeps them from going out
and doing the things that they want in
their life to being successful and so I
want to help you so that you can move
forward in your life and still enjoy
being a sexual person but do it in a way
that isn't hurting you but actually
benefiting you because you know sex is
something that is a part of all of our
lives you know we eat we drink we sleep
we do exercise and we have sex and of
course I always am promoting marriage I
have a I really do believe in marriage
and family and I think some of the best
sexual experiences are with a person
that you're intimate with that you love
and that you have a connection those
really truly are some of the best sexual
experiences a person can have but on the
other hand if you are experiencing a
problem you are having a fantasy that
maybe you can't get out of your head
you have some type of a fetish maybe you
feel that you are compulsively thinking
about sexual thoughts you're using
pornography or even chat rooms seeking
out other people to fulfill fantasies
other than your spouse or even now
there's some games and stuff out there
there's just a lot of stuff out there
right now but hopefully I can help you
to move to a have a healthy sex life one
that you can enjoy and feel good about
one of the big factors in having this
compulsive sexual behavior or compulsive
sexual thoughts it's a lot of people get
stuck in a shame cycle and that actually
will make it so much worse and so what
the shame cycle does is maybe you are
having your sexual act and when you're
done then you start to feel shameful
about it and then you start to beat
yourself up and really the negative
thoughts are what leads you right back
in to doing the sexual behavior only
because you feel so bad about it you're
gonna reach for something that makes you
feel better that's just human nature and
so in order to break that cycle there's
a couple things that you can do so the
first thing is to realize that you're
not helpless that you do make choices
every day and that you can make a choice
to change your life and when we have
freedom of thought we have individual
rights along with it comes
responsibility and part of not just
going out and doing whatever you want
because truthfully I mean it would be
easier for all of us to go out and do
whatever the heck we want right but that
isn't what makes you successful in life
that isn't always what is the best for
you because sometimes you have to have
boundaries and you have to have schedule
and you have to also be accountable to
yourself and other people
so all of these things play into a
person's life so one way to get a hold
of
sexual problems that you may be
experiencing is to set up a schedule and
I know this might just sound like such a
simple thing but it really is important
because if you are spending a lot of
time either thinking about sexual
fantasy fetish or whatever your sexual
behavior is and then you're gonna go
ahead and watch it or do it that could
be taking up hours a day for you so
truthfully make yourself a schedule each
day each week each month where your
penciling in the amount of time that
you're going to spend thinking about
your fantasy fetish lifestyle whatever
it is so that you are not missing out on
other parts of your life and so
scheduled in once you've scheduled it in
then you need to give yourself
permission to enjoy what you're thinking
about obviously this doesn't involve you
know hurting yourself or someone else I
always have to put that out there
because that's never acceptable but it
would be that you have you you've
allotted this time for it and it's going
to be less time than you're spending now
but when you do it you're not going to
feel shame around it because it's really
the shame that is going to create the
negative feeling about yourself so once
you can try to work on that then also
you can start adding in things that make
you feel better now part of the reason
why you'll go to the sexual thing that
you want to do yes I know one of them
that one of them people say is I'm horny
but the truth of the matter is when you
get into like a compulsive behavior
that's not what it is what it is is that
you're either feeling down you're
feeling depressed you're feeling anxious
you're feeling stressed believe it or
that believe it or not that is more of a
motivating factor because what happens
is when you have a sexual release you're
also releasing dopamine you're releasing
endorphins hormones all of these things
that temporarily make you feel better
and so that's really why people will go
back to some type of a compulsive
behavior over time if it becomes so
compulsive the good feelings that you
gain from it get minimized too and so
that's where the other problem happens
is so you're not getting the release
that you want and you're also feeling
bad about it afterwards those are two
really deadly bad combinations that that
really will just ruin it for you and
make the whole experience bad in the end
so limit the time also don't have a
negative thoughts and then realize that
you're doing this because you're feeling
bad with that being said there is
something that will make you feel better
that you can use as a replacement not
all the time because of course you want
to allow yourself and give yourself
permission but doing some type of
physical exercise okay and physical
exercise will have the same effect
because you're also relief releasing
endorphins and dopamine and it's really
important that you can start
substituting some of the time that
you're spending doing your sexual thing
and so the exercise can be anything it
could be biking hiking walking running
swimming dancing yoga yeah it could be
doing jump rope in your bedroom it could
be jumping on your bed I don't care
whatever it is though spend a half-hour
if you can 20 30 minutes doing some
physical activity that is going to
replace part of your compulsive sexual
session so add that into your day and
you know the more that you can add
physical activity into your day you will
feel better I've worked with so many
people and that is one of the things
that helps them get out of this kind of
cycle it breaks the habit and you can do
again you have free choice you have
options okay it's the same thing with
getting into the obsessive thinking
about it you can break that obsessive
thinking you just have to realize when
you're feeling down you're probably
thinking of something that's making you
feel down so it's about breaking it
another thing you can do is sometimes
just counting odd numbers you can snap
you can clap you can all of these things
kind of just get you out of that mode so
again each person is different
so trial and error it takes about three
months to break a habit so you want to
really get into the slowly you don't
want to jump into anything because
that's when people fail so just to recap
try not to add the negative talk in
don't have the shame you know give
yourself permission because that is one
of the things if you're gonna do it
enjoy it love it feel good about it
but limit your time so that it's not
impeding on your relationship or your
daily activities and hopefully that will
help you get started and you will start
feeling better about yourself and also
it can lead to having a better sex life
which heck doesn't everyone want to have
a better sex life so if you like my
videos please give me a thumbs up it
really helps to bring my videos up and
rank so that other people can have
access to them as well as subscribing
and hit the bell so that you know when I
go live and you can be a part of the
conversation and of course leave your
comment I believe everyone deserves to
have a healthy sex life and so do you
you
