I heard this from my therapist and i also read it in a book it sounds wrong but it works

This is for those that have sexual thoughts and cant get rid of them
take a rubber band put it around your wrist every time i mean every time a thought comes up pull the band and let it flick back on to your hand it should sting a bit not too much and as you are doing this say stop that is it

after doing the above for a bit of time im not sure if it a month or two but what ever it is you can take the band off and every time a thought comes up say stop and it will have the same effect

much hatzlocho

Hi sweet guy that you are "well worth it"
Can I ask you not to create new threads?
Have 1 thread for all your personal growth and ideas please

now to Rubberbands:
Sounds like fun and games - not gonna help anyone that I know

In any case if I'd start wearing rubber bands it'd be a trigger to start lusting so that the band would have a purpose... no im not kidding!

It's mentioned in the GYE handbook HERE and in other places on the site.

!אנא עבדא דקודשא בריך הוא

וּבְיָדְךָ כֹּחַ וּגְבוּרָה וּבְיָדְךָ לְגַדֵּל וּלְחַזֵּק לַכֹּל

"If it would be so easy there wouldn't be a GYE, but if it would be impossible there also wouldn't be a GYE."

alain Current streak: 17 days OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 2 Karma: 0	That's a great idea, wellworthit. I didn't know this can be found in the GYE handbook, so I will be sure to read it. Definitely will implement this. I guess the only downside to wearing a rubber band is that even if you are going through a good phase, the minute you look at it you are reminded of your struggle.
