This was a problem for some people that would do the sing a church hymn in your head when you started thinking bad thoughts - sure fire way to make the bad thoughts go away. Didn't work for everybody. Someone people doing this started to get sexually aroused when certain hymns would start playing at church. Because the mind associated sexual arousal with that sound (hymn). Turned into a nasty snowball effect.Hezekiah wrote: ↑September 13th, 2017, 11:36 amSome experts have noted the similarities between sex addiction and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. The more you try NOT to think about something, the more you obsess over it. The more you obsess over it, the greater the compulsion to act out. It's like holding a hot iron in your hand and trying to tell yourself not to think about it. Better to let go, walk away, and find something else to think about instead.Fiannan wrote: ↑August 16th, 2017, 1:05 amDid you not read the Ensign article?
Outside of mormondom, some people would get aroused just by hearing the sound of a dial-up modem ringing. Because the mind made the connection that the dial-up ring tone was going to lead to sexual things right after.
