Sexual addiction! and Male-Female energy roles/energies

[Diana]

There is a sideways approach to addictions and habits. That is to do other things. Get a hobby, visit friends, take classes, start a business, write a book, etc. Unplug from popular media as much as possible. Spend time on things consciously chosen. The more time you spend on consciously chosen activities, the less time will be spent on habitual actions. Then, when there is some distance growing between you and the undesirable habit, the habit will have lost some of its power. You can now see the forest through the trees better and the physical need is less.

I don't mean to make it sound easy. It's not. But I find the proactive approach always works best. The time spent on worrying about it could be spent on another positive activity. We don't like to do that as humans. I resist it all the time, but in my case, I have a lot of experience that it works so I persevere. I'll even clean the house sometimes just to stop the flow of negative thoughts. It's not that I want to deny expression, it's that I want my focus to be on what I actually want—not what I don't want.
