not to worry (in my opinion) the outfits are skimpy but mot sexy... so for me it is simply and attractive (maybe) althlete. Remember SAs are not the norm

As a weight trainer and a pole fitness instructor I think if we treat them like it's sexual it can become that. The human body is a machine and has many functions. like StoneHeartedMan said SA are not the norm. If you are worried and your children approach you emphasize the skill required to perform not the physique, which is only a product of the skill. No worries :)

well said lovestone!

Great question. I don't think I've ever seen an Olympian I was physically attracted to.

Hi Kelly,

I dont' think that this is an inappropriate post considering the olympics are going on.

I guess it would be appropriate for some people to avoid watching certain events because of the revealing outfits. When I was younger though I remember watching for that reason. Even at that though, the attitude and main focus of the announcers and anchors is profesional and focused on the hard work and athletic performance of the athletes.

Yes i do find myself looking at meany of the woman, expesualy in volyball and gymnastics, but i don't think it destracts me from the sports. i used to be in gymnastics and even tho i found myself looking at many of the woman i still enjoyed the sport for what it is.

And no I dont find the athletes body anymore attractive then any other. I truthfully only found a few woman that I have seen attractive.

They wouldn't be attractive to "my" addict...at all. Too skinny. And they haven't inserted basketballs under the skin of their breasts (ha). So, nope, not even concerned.

I found and continue to find breast implants to be a huge turnoff. If every porn star had breast implants I never would have picked up this addiction.

Star: That's good. Maybe we could suggest to all porn stars that they just can't be competitive without basketballs? Their payment for the show will be reduced accordingly. HA! Porn...and star...now that's really a stretch....Ha! I've always found all of that a bit on the hilarious side! Lucky me!

may need to comment. The Olympics were tempting to me. I found myself looking for sexy athletes, fans, workers, alike. With the fueled stories of olympic park being like a sex den, that didn't help my curb my perversions of the Olympics. Im sick, I know, and it brings me to tears sometimes. :(

Hi Kelly and Jabirdiee

Kelly,
I knowI know. All those skimpy outfits and everything, showing off those perfect bodies might trigger something in a new addict in recovery. These are some of the things that measure recovery. It just takes a lot of practice, is all. The first thousand times of not looking in that certain way became the work. I think Ive earned the privilege to look at bodies in healthy way now. I wonder how BeatPorn is doing with the sentence of one thousand no looks that I imposed on him? I mean the guy had it coming didnt he?

Re: the boys,
A really-really good Mom would indeed be worried about how their boys were seeing their new world. It kind of let me think back to those days and I remember that there was something about Dad that I just didnt want to be like. It was hard to put my finger on but it was sleazy; the only word I could think of. Oh and there was something about Denmark too.

Your boys have far more insight to how their Father can be than most boys and it seems to have been a fairly kind journey for them too. (Considering)

So tell me, are your boys getting through that stubborn/smart, always thinking stuff okay?

A really-really good Son would indeed always look for his mothers watchful eye. You know; just to see if you see them. So good job Mom!

Disclaimer:
As a young man in my twenties I forgot the reasons why I didnt want to be like Dad, and I kind of Became my Fatherwithout the shower curtain scene. of course.

Ill bet you can trust your boys to set their own restore points just fine.I think it happens naturally without them even realizing it. Them kids is sure gonna know you got your eye on them though.

Jabirdiee,
Your honesty is everything. That was really brave of you to say what you just said in your last post. It brings us all to tears when it wont stop pulling at us; it can be our only starting point. If youre thinking its really sad. then yeah.cry some more. I cant picture crying at the same exact time as fantasizing but yes I can. Its really that crazy.think we dont understand?
So I wish you momentum by way of practice, practice, practice and more practice. If theres any magic in what I just said it would be that it isnt too good to be true. You will know that you earned it. It will also be a badge of honor that you will cherish. Yeahyeahyour mind cant believe all this crap until it clears;........ just a little.... itty...... tiny....bit more. You sure have my support.

Beach Vollyball (womens) was really hard to watch. I would have turned it off if I wasn't with company. When they were wearing full body suits it was tolerable, I focused on the game. When they were wearing two-pieces, that took precident. It's ok though, it made me realize it's ok not to look. Also I realized it's not anyone else's problem. How ridiculous is this, everyone has to be covered in full body wear to adjust to John's addiction! LOL, pure insanity. I've learned that some people simply feel more comfortable with considerable amounts of skin exposed. It's my choice whether or not I want to look, and even furthermore gaze or fixate. I pray this wasn't inappropriate, if so I completely apologize.

Sincerely,

John Wyatt.

Such candid, honest and hearfelt replies - that's why I love it here! Jabirdee and John, thank you so much, and please keep talking.

Shameless, no words, you're the bomb!
