What causes anxiety watching females humiliating males?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am a 21-year-old male with a phobia, but I am unsure of the type. The anxiety happens when I watch females humiliating males, and I think I know the root cause of the phobia. When I was a child, I watched that scene on the television that showed humiliation from woman to man. Also, I hate to see dominant women if the judge is female. So I get anxious and do not want to go on or watch that scene again. Despite all that, just for you to get the whole picture, I am watching porn, and the thing that turns me on is that type of clip (female domination and BDSM). I hate that, and I cannot simply see the doctor face to face because it is embarrassing. So please help me to self-cure myself.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Sex thoughts, sex addiction, masturbation addiction, and porn film addiction come under behavior addiction. Behavioral addiction is a form of addiction that involves a compulsion to engage in a rewarding non-drug-related behavior, sometimes called a natural reward, despite any negative consequences to the person's physical, mental, social, or financial well-being. Behavior addiction needs to be curbed or controlled using your self-willpower. Diverting your mind and body away from the circumstances which compel you to the addictive habit with the help of physical exercises, games, and entertainment can help you. Never sleep alone. Be always with your family even at night are some other tips. Willpower is the key always. Behavioral therapy also works well.

Hope this helps.

Thanks and take care.
