Fish Porn Intervention
Are you struggling on the slippery slope of fish porn addiction? Did you not find that last "Mr. Take a Photo of Me with a 12-inch Brown" post funny?
Well, the Fly Talk Community is here to help. Here's a testimonial from a guy who suffered, alone for years before we intervened:
By the time "Russell" realized he had a problem, grip 'n grin syndrome (GNGS) had already seized control of his life. "It started simply enough, a photo with a rainbow or brown trout here and there ... but then I grew obsessed with having my picture taken with salmonids. After a while, even the big fish werent' enough. It led to cheap jewelry, role playing, making my own fish lingerie ... I'm ashamed to admit I even took photos with fish under the legal catch limit. Thanks to the guys at Fly Talk, I got my life back. I don't feel 'slimy' all the time anymore. I can even flyfish, just for the fun of it again."
We can help you too. But we can only care if you're willing to share. Please tell us your photo-mania stories.
Sincerely,
Dr. KD, CFFBA
and
Dr. Timmy, CFFBA
Dr. Deeter?
