Boy, has this article been a long time coming. If you are one of the many people who will read this, you may suffer from Wrestleaholic syndrome. This means, all joking aside, that the majority of your off-work time is spent either wrestling, or trying to pursue a match. If this is you, please read on.

Over the eight years that I've been working on the WrestleMen site, I've been in touch with thousands of people who enjoy the sport of wrestling. It certainly has its benefits-- great exercise, male bonding, and if the chemistry is there, it can be very hot! But there is a more serious side of the fetish that I think needs to be addressed.

I remember years ago talking to a wrestler whose partner was dying of AIDS. As I was offering my condolences, he told me that he was hoping his partner would hurry up and pass, because taking care of him was cutting into his wrestling time. If your mouth just dropped open from reading this, then I think you can understand where I'm coming from.

I've also spoken with people who have let the fetish hold them back from pursuing other goals in their lives. Like any addiction, it has affected their businesses, their relationships, and their friendships. Not good.

IT'S THAT DAMN COMPUTER
I think we have the internet mostly to blame. Online chatting and emails have made it easier to be in contact with others that enjoy the sport. This is good to an extent, but if you find yourself spending hours every day online in pursuit of the fetish, then that can't be healthy. Did you know that if you spent only two hours a day online, that adds up to ONE MONTH a year you're behind the screen. If your sole goal is to setup a match with someone, add up how many hours you spend on the screen, to how many hours you actually wrestle. Staggering isn't it. Maybe 100 to 1?

We as men are often the victims of our own hormones. Our dicks seem to be like compasses at times, constantly pointing us in the direction of the nearest squared circle. They can really make us do some crazy things huh! I release many of mine by working on this site (can you tell).

"Our dicks seem to be like compasses at times, constantly pointing us in the direction of the nearest squared circle."

It is certainly great to be able to talk to others that share the same feelings as we do. We are a unique bunch. Wrestlers have great imaginations, we're very in touch with our bodies, and we offer each other the physical contact that we all need as humans. And you'd hardly expect that doing this site I'd be writing an article like this. What many people don't realize is that I have probably wrestled less than fifty people in ten years. I have learned to keep them spaced apart so that each encounter is somewhat special to me, and hopefully the same with the other person. It keeps my GRRRRRRRR from becoming a lower case, grrrrrrrrr.

THE SOLUTION
The way to break any addiction is to first recognize you have one. If you find it frustrating to be online alot, pursuing matches, or dealing with the flakes of the wrestling world, take a break. Find a hobby to offset your wrestling male urges (and we all have them). Photography, hiking, camping, bike riding, site-seeing, decoupage, anything creative helps. Take a drive outside, spend time with your friends. Meet other people OUTSIDE the wrestling community and spend more time with them. This is often better use of your time.

Also, take a good assessment of your life. Is a friendship suffering from it? Are you completing other things that you want to do in your life? Remember, this is no dress rehearsal, you only live once. And there is a hell of alot more to life than wrestling. Really.

I think going to the annual wrestling events, like Hillside, Okie Rumble, Wrestlefest, etc. are very good ways of taking care of our wrestling needs. You get to meet alot of people in person and get that body contact we crave.

So I guess my conclusion is to Wrestle in Moderation. Keeping it fresh will make the experiences even better. Go out and feel the sunshine on your face sometime. Sing a song. And be proud, wrestler, for you are a deliverer of great holds! GRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Footnote: After finishing this article I asked a wrestling friend if he'd review it for me. His response "Can't talk now, got a match. Jacked off to your picture last night. Gotta run. Talk later." LOL. Well, at least he liked my picture <G>.
