is sexual addiction a myth or real?

i thought i had addiction it when i was 14 cos my close friend told me i did (she said she had it too). and so then when mum said i was not allowed to go out with boys at night i was like "i guess its for the best anyway or else my addiction might put me in danger". but now i heard friends talk and say everybody loves as sex as much as they can have anyway so impossible to be addicted. i think it depends on your body dna, cos some people are sensitive and go aroused from just a thought or a sight so makes it hard not to touch self or accept a mans hands lol.

 

Look at you citing wikipedia like it's an acceptable source! We'll drag you down to our level eventually!*

* My mockery should not detract from the point that you actually 100% right and just accidentally set yourself up for me to make a unfunny joke at your expense.

 

Baraka, thanks those are unique questions.
Do you often fail to resist impulses to have sex? i ask my bf but if he's out i rock my pillow.
Do you often engage in sex to a greater extent or over a longer period than intended? longer cos one gasm makes you want another.
Do you have unsuccessful efforts to control your sexual urges? i control them in public, i do not touch under my skirt. successful control.
Do you spend an inordinate amount of time obtaining sex? inordinate means a lot? then yes.
Do you have a preoccupation with sex? not sure.
Do you often engage in sex when you're expected to fulfill other obligations? yep stay in bed longer.
Do you continue to have sex despite knowing you have a problem that is caused or exacerbated by it? not sure.
Do you need to increase the intensity, frequency, etc., of sex to achieve a desired effect? yep to stop being horny i keep going.
Do you give up or limit non-sexual activities because of sex? yes less tennis since i began with my boyfriend.
Do you resort to anxiety, violence, etc., if you're unable to engage in sex? nope

If you answered no, you're probably all right.

Being horny and curious doesn't someone a sex addict.

 

One can become addicted to anything that has a psychological lift.

The real test is "have you done it, often, when it was dangerous or stupid to do it, because you totally were literally incapable of saying no".

 

Congratulations. You're not a sex addict.

Now, if you start having sex in public, missing work regularly to have sex or have sex negatively impact your life, that's something different. Unless you're a professional tennis player or that's somehow otherwise the root of your persona, then I don't see how playing less tennis is a negative impact.

But if you want to call yourself a sex addict because some kid told you that you were one, knock yourself out. Under that set of rules, I guess that it is true that I have cooties. And that I stink.

 

Erm... jazz... I didn't want to be the first to tell you, but, er, you might want to shower...

 

thanks

thanks! my bfs exhibitionist so he fing me in the cinema and beach. but almost impossible for people to see, so not really public. is it normal for your undies to soak from arousal when you talk to men that you don't have a crush on? thats what i find weird. not even a crush but still arousing me.

i did a lot of stupid things at school. i had lots of male friends and sat on laps for a cuddle that made my bottom rub their rise. very fun but wrong. i never do that kind of things now.

 

^ thats ok i know enough meanies offline, i'm not gonna post for another bye!

 

You don't have to leave. Your participation has been refreshing at times and confusing at times. Please take the time to really read what Rogue49 posted, give it some thought, and try to provide some clarification on the points he made.

Many people, myself included, at TFP have been very open and honest in the sexuality thread as well as other threads. We get a little concerned when we see what we perceive as contradictions (some real, some imagined) from new, relatively new, & even long time members.

 

Apparently "wait, what?" is mean.

Then again, I'm internet autistic and don't get how someone can read emotion into something.

That's either a mea culpa or a set up for something.

 

My right hand says I'm a sex addict, my left only sees me at Christmas.
