A man goes to a doctor, and says, "doc, I think
I'm a chicken, I run around the house all day
long and scratch and cluck. I've been doing this
for years, can you help me?"
The doc says "why did you wait so long to come
to me?" and the afflicted replies:
Well, my family kept stopping me. They said
they needed the eggs."
Which in a nutshell is Woody Allen's take on
relationships and sex. Things get a little crazy
sometimes but on the whole it's something we
all need. There's a great story at patches
where the person says how exciting W/S is, and
how much fun he and his lady had, but each time
after they come there's a reality check and they
feel a bit foolish. But they go back again and
again because it feels so good. Very much like your comments above.
I think maybe the big item is the internet (yeah,
that's it, something else to blame!) whereas
10 years ago, I had to seek for years to find one
or two sources of material to fuel the fantasies,
now there's hundreds.
Sounds like you feel compelled from inside, that
can be a scary feeling, I know it. But you can
do what you want, cut back, stop altogether,
or start back up. Sounds like your wife does not
understand you and watersports, that's too bad.
Helps if you have someone to talk with who's
opinion you value.
I myself considered see a psychologist long ago,
and finaly decided to deal with the issues on my
own. It worked. But I still dabble now and then.
I wish you luck in your adventure, and hope things
work out.
