Unfaithful

Sex Problems for Men

I have a gorgeous girlfriend who I love and adore. However I am a very flirtatious person and with a few drinks inside me I become incredibly lecherous. So far (luckily) nothing has really happened but I want to propose to my girlfriend soon but I am so scared of hurting through infidelity. I feel so low about myself after I have these feelings. I'm a pretty decent person other than this, but sometimes I stop and reflect on my actions of the night before and I cringe and am deeply ashamed. I'm sure if my girlfriend knew what I was really like she would leave me. I have to get this sorted or it will ruin my life. I don not want to be one of these men who has a string of affairs and ends up really hurting the ones he loves. Please, does anyone have any tips for dealing with this?

I am sure I need to be able to mentally conjure up negative images to suppress these feelings when they happen. I have tried to think about my girlfriend when I feel like this but I am too weak and the hormones soon override and sanity I try to bring to the situation. It's pathetic that I can't control myself.

I really do need some guidance here. Thank you in advance for any advice you can provide.

Your infidelity

You are right this does threaten your future happiness and needs fixing! You have to learn some thought control, and cognitive behaviour therapy can help you with this. You will benefit from help from a therapist to make sure you really overcome it, but not too many sessions are usually needed because you learn techniques to stop the thoughts. Good luck!
