Sexual addiction! and Male-Female energy roles/energies

[rva_jeremy]

That's why I said my method is sideways, or a back door. It works. There is no resistance or acceptance. There is only changing focus. And the more you do it, the less power the unwanted behavior has over you.

I figure I can forgive myself later if I need to. Perhaps forgiving and accepting should come first. I don't know. But I do know how improbable that can be. So I don't let that stop me from consciously taking the reigns. Otherwise, it could be like psychotherapy which can go on for years and years trying to accept, unearth, forgive. In lieu of that, action can work at least on a certain level. Then things have a tendency to balance themselves out anyway.

For the record I completely agree with you, and I did not intend any of my statements to contradict what you're saying in any way. In fact I have used that approach--direct the mind elsewhere--to just the effect you describe! I do it on a daily basis when I'm wrestling with a work problem, and often return to find the problem has transformed into something much more tractable.

I figure we all share our understandings with original poster and he/she can sort through it and figure out what resonates. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
