Sexual Addiction Or Misguided Youth??
Posted: 11-27-07 01:40am

Im concerned that I may be a sex addict!!! I have always been very comfortable in my sexuality.. but in the last 7 months or so it seems I cant control myself when it comes to risky sexual behavior I have a boyfriend who I love and our sex life is great but I sleep with any guy who looks at me twice including friends boyfriends and others who are "off limits" I feel a huge amount of guilt afterwards and swear off men other than my boyfriend ...but then I just fall back into someones bed before I know it!!! I hide my behavior from my friends but it gets me in sticky situations and im anxious because of all of the secrets im carrying around I also am not as satisfied with "normal sex" as much anymore and want to be choked or with multiple partners at once which I know is not very safe!! but makes me feel high!! I feel horrible about myself and I want to stop but I dont know what to do!! I have also had minor drug problems which are under control now!! ...addictive personality!!!!does anyone have any advice for me??help!!! stretch

Not to mention any sexual transmitted deasese. Approcoach sex with caution, like you would a stop sign.

Well you might like it now but after you get married and your husband called you a prostitute after looking at your fully used and devastated p*** then you would realise what you are doing... Moreover the worst can happin is you get aids and you loose your p****....


Dont belive me

Goto images.google.com and search for " aids patients "

You would know..

Well this was the shouting part......... actually i had the same problem sometime back that i used to become very horney whevever i met anyone new..

BUT

i found out a solution to it.. Try diverting your mind to other things...

I started smoking.. but you dont start it.. lolzz

try to make a hobby.. goto church everyday for 2 min.. goto a book store.. goto a coffee shop etc etc. u can do lots of things..

But this is something you cannot do deliberately....

Just start doing it even if you dont like doing it.. I am sure you would again do it the next day...


If this does not work... Then

May God Bless You !!!

Cheers

Hey Amy,

Anything can become an addiction. Some things more than others, but sex rates up there on the addiction scale along with alcohol, drugs & gambling. You say that it's a compulsion and that you experience a "high".....which tells me that indeed you very well could be a sex addict. I could be wrong, perhaps it's just a case of misguided self esteem as opposed to a misguided youth. The high you get could be from the fact that someone found you attractive and it fed your ego momentarily. I don't know much about sex addiction, but I'd bet dollars to donuts that low self esteem is a major contributor to the addiction......as it is to most addictions.

You've taken the very brave first step in recognizing it as a problem and saying it outloud. That's half the battle right there....kudos to you for that. Now what you've got to do is reasearch the heck out of it.....arm yourself with the information you need. Google search "sex addiction", and locations of support programs in your area. It won't hurt to attend a meeting and talk to the "experts". See your family doctor, perhaps he (or she) will be able to point you in the right direction. Just don't let it go by the wayside, because from what you describe here you're possibly headed down a path of self destruction. Everytime you "use" you're compounding the problem, and breaking down the self esteem that much more.

Check into it, use the boards here to vent. People really seem to care, and that in itself is an awesome support system. Much luck to you...hang in and hang on....nothing is impossible unless you make it so! Smile
