I can feel the tension in your first post... Breathe, for real, breathe...

In fact sit in a quiet place and just breathe for 5 minutes. This might be the first time you've ever tried to slow down your mind.

I really think most of us who have some kind of porn or sex or fetish habit are self medicating for anxiety or depressive thoughts. It's a distraction, a release, and it makes our brains and bodies feel good.

Who knows why you like tights? Does it matter? It's your thing. Way back you probably have some connection to seeing a sexy woman in tights in your early years. The first playboy I saw was full of women wearing lingerie and stockings. I think that set the stage for me. I love legs and stockings.

The risk taking behavior of stealing is actually a thing too. As for wearing tights, do you wear them out in public, out of sight? Is that a risky behavior too?

Risky behavior brings its own wash of brain chemicals that make our brains feel good.

Just breathe, slow down, and think about how you feel when you see a woman in tights, or you see tights alone, or when you feel them on you. And here is the key... THINK ABOUT IT AND DON'T JUDGE YOURSELF WHILE THINKING ABOUT IT.

Just breathe, relax, be safe, and try to identify what you are feeling at those times.

The one behavior you really have to focus on is the stealing. Too risky. When you get that urge, try to breathe your way through it.
