Much of this FAQ is geared towards those with homosexual obsessive compulsive disorder (HOCD).
Even temporary abstinence from masturbation may not be for you. Some with HOCD have benefited greatly from medications and appropriate therapy. This page is for people who believe their porn-driven escalation to novel genres may be obscuring their earlier or innate sexual tastes. If you are content with your sexual tastes, or feel that your sexual tastes are set, read no farther. YBOP excerpts them pretty much as they are, and their authors’ views/languaging do not necessarily reflect those of this website. These self-reports are taken from porn recovery forums. NOTE: This page contains multiple self-reports by people (some of whom are more politically correct than others), who concluded that their porn tastes influenced their sexual tastes after they quit porn and noticed their tastes reverting.
