Ok, well not really. But I've started to broaden my perception of the term "sex addict". I know plenty of people who stay in relationships that might be less than beneficial aside from the sexual aspect. I know plenty of people who HAVE to date constantly because they need to get laid regularly.

This hinders one from being able to actually grow and learn how to interact in a relationship based on more than sexual attention.

Do you fit into any of these descriptions?

      I know I'm gonna get this from all the married people...

      How about BEFORE you were married?
    2. amybyrd21
      dated all the time. Mo mo (what I called her any way) at work told me even God rested on the 7th day. I had one for every day of the week. I just picked them according to what days I was off of work. Great times really. lol never boring and I always had something to do when I wasnt working.

      And perhaps this is why your so happily married now, Amy...because you used to whore around.

      See?? My whorish ways are really just to ENSURE a happy marriage one day.

    @Lotus: Hi Lotus. Nice to meet you.

    Focus on other things and work very hard. Try to climb a few rungs in the corporate ladder or moonlight working on an old dream of yours. The more diligent you are, the less sex will enslave you.

      Lol...thanks...

      I'm not a sex addict, though I was just making a statement.

      And I have no intention on climbing a corporate ladder...gross.

    I stayed in my shitty marriage strictly for the sex. Now, I'm single and realizing how shitty the dating scene really is. Ugh. (I need to get laid)

      It's come....if you build it.

      In other words, if I build it, I will come?

      Thats right, my dear.

      NOW click your heels three times, and say "There's no place like O, there's no place like O...."

    I was never a sex addict. Sex never meant intimacy to me.
    1. lotusb
      Thats good.

      Do you think maybe it's a generational thing?
    2. nothingprofound
      Not at all. My generation, after decades of repression, went hog wild with sex. Sex and drugs were the answer to everything. I just didn't buy in.

    I went cold turkey long time ago. Making it day by day.

    I have been broken up with my ex for one month, and I'm starting to feel it. I'm not a sex addict (or am I) I just have become used to the physical release and the contact. I'm going out on dates, but Ihaven't met anyone "sponge worthy." Not sure what I am going to do...even my mailman looked kind of cute today...Oh no!
    1. MissSuzie
      Hahaha! I'm going through the same thing. I actually hit on the FedEx guy today.
    2. scenexg
      Lol Seinfeld reference #579. Seems that sponge-worthy people are rather hard to find for most people lately. It's like a trend or something. I guess as you grow your criteria changes and you see the bullshit from further away.

      Whoohooo Suzie!

      you need a good toy - i firmly believe every woman should say hi to the Big O at least once a day. I'd recommend a Cowboy Up or Pete LOL

    Isn't sexuality a funny thing. I can't see how leaving yourself sexually frustrated all the time could be seen as a good thing for a person. How someone deals with that is another matter. There is no one size fits all for that problem.
    1. scenexg
      I believe in Islam they consider a sexually frustrated person to be a danger to themselves and others. I believe it's Islam but I was half asleep in class when I heard it but I should double check on that.

    Hi Lotus.

    Being enslaved in sex is really a bad situation. To people who are suffering from this, I suggest they should focus on more productive things. Try to find you passion (not sex!). Treat sex as a love making activity with our partner, not an addictive activity to satisfy your needs.

    Regards,

    The universe is conspiring against you to have sex. Resistance is futile to all except the most steely minded. How strong are you up there?

    "I know plenty of people who HAVE to date constantly because they need to get laid regularly." ummmm, no, because I don't date but I DO get laid regularly. Yes, I'm a sex addict. I'm not trolling the streets looking for lovers but I do keep an active POA list and if I do start seeing someone, it's game-on, whenever I want it.

    Cant call myself as a sex-addict..just happy with my dear love and bed...atleast for now..lol..
  13. TheCrazyhorse
    I do not know if I lost my appetite in sex but believe it or not we seldom go deeper into the art of making love. I am not gay but really we do not go further into that most of our times we just talk and have a bonding together.

    ...maybe time will tell!
    1. lotusb
      Some people are just non-sexual.
  14. sjtavo
    see - i really don't have to troll for POA's - my girlfriend sara threw a sex toy party last friday night and of course i had a blast. so now a girl from there is sending me pics of a guy she knows to see if he'd be a candidate for POA status - and when I say pics, i mean naked pics LOL

    I am not a sex addict and I have no issues staying fateful. I have a hard time leaving my husband (whom I love) because the sex is so fvcking amazing. We fight a lot and take it all out on the sheets. I mean writting this is turning me on, lol! maybe i need help?
    1. lotusb
      Well that's not a sex addiction....I think depending on the degree of issues you and your hubby have...staying because the sex is amazing (I'm sure among other reasons) is really what I'm referring to. I think the clinical definition of sex addict is really too severe, and that to some degree a lot of people can consider theri connection to sex addictive...
    2. sjtavo
      yea - i hate the connotation that goes with it - i don't sell myself for sex, i'm not sleeping with absolutely random men (i at least have spoken to them LOL)

    I think it's only an addiction if it starts taking over your entire life. If your every waking moment is spent thinking about sex, talking about sex, how to get more sex, where to get more sex, who to get more sex from, to the point where it becomes destructive to yourself or those around you, then I think you may have a sex addiction. Having a high sex drive is different.
    1. sjtavo
      that's a really good point....except i think, speak and dream about sex alot.....BUT I am able to control myself....so maybe there's hope for me yet!
    2. aspotofblog
      Maybe if you get to a point where you quit your job because it gets in the way of you having more sex, then you may have a problem.

    Do not do too much, it will weaken the strength.
    Reduce the time, do more hard work like climbing the peak, running 24km,etc.
