I’m Sober But I Still Get Turned On by My Own Body - a podcast by Robert Weiss, PhD, MSW and Tami VerHelst
from 2023-08-03T18:05:31
Dr. Rob and Tami discuss whether a listener is truly living a sober life. The listener asked if it’s okay to masturbate to pictures of their own body now that they’re sober from porn. Dr. Rob weighs in on his interesting thoughts on the matter. Dr. Rob also answers questions about when is a good time to initiate intimacy with a SA, and much more.
TAKEAWAYS:
[:45] My addict is doing “borderline” sketchy behavior but hasn’t actually done anything or crossed a line. Should I be mad?
[7:10] I’m a female SA in recovery and now I get off to pictures of my own body. Is this normal?
[12:40] My SA is new to recovery. Is now a good time to challenge him on different ways we can create intimacy without sex?
[21:50] I’m not ready to tell our immediate family about his addiction. Should we ever tell them?
[26:45] I started watching porn when I was 8. I think I am a heterosexual, but I am not sure. How do I know for sure?
[30:00] How long will it take my addict to “figure himself” out?
