Hi everyone. Ok I admit I don't think I am a sex addict. I do experience a high sex drive especially when I am anxious, depressed and stressed. During these times I use my dildo and have too many orgasms to count. This sucks because I can spend many hours doing this and am not satisfied. Even though I get many orgasms (maybe over 100) I still want more. It is truly a high and feels quite addictive. It is ironic though, because when my husband and I have sex (rarely) usually one orgasm would suffice.
The real reason I don't believe I am a sex addict is because I do not have sex with other men. I do meet quite a few men but I just don't. I think a true sex addict would not be able to resist the temptation to sleep around or would have given in to a few temptations.
I must admit, my knowledge of sex addiction is quite limited. I will read up on it at a later time.
I have possible suggestions for some sex addict. Why don't you try to decrease your testosterone level. Because a high testosterone level can cause increase sex drive. Also if anxiety and stress causes you to be very horny maybe you will have to find ways to deal with these so your libido won't increase. I am trying to help myself from feeling anxious, stress or depressed. I exercise and it helps me to relax plus I try not to stay home when bored.
Please feel free to share your thoughts. What have helped you decrease your sex drive? What worked for you? Feel free to also inform me about sex addiction.
Thanks

Did you know that too much masterbation can cause you to loose essential magnesium and this is very hard to replace. You can possible become paralyze from loosing too much magnesium. This is why I threw away my dildo. Your health is not worth compromising.

One last thing, try and stop watching porn. It will cause you to stay an addict.

That is what I have heard also. I am trying to not watch porn. It is very hard to do though. I am a single dad and have no one in my life. besides my kids. I am trying though.

Lightbulbgirl.....I strongly suggest that anything you post here should not have so much suggestive language. People are trying not to play......your language is very provocative.

I have the same feeling.

I never thought I had an addiction also because I don't cheat. Was kinda like a routine some people need coffee to start their day, mine is masterbation. As soon as that alarm cock would wake me up I'd just handle it once or twice and start my day. Wife got used to it and sleep right through the activity. Also when feeling anxious etc I found sex to be soothing. Fast forward 17 years and my wife is now sober (weed and alcohol) and it's become too much for her. I would guilt her into sex, use it as a form of currency (I did this for you this is what I want in return.) We sometimes would invite people over or end up in public situations to pickup on strangers to have fun with. I always thought that because I don't do things without her I had it under control. WRONG. After reading many websites I realized she was my co-addict for my crazy sex drive and I was hers for her addictions. We have a lot of growing to do. I understand what I did now in trying to find out how to stop. I stopped watching porn but still please myself several times a day. I started running and exercising and trying to find new ways to tire myself out at night. But really need to find my triggers and obtain tools to catch myself to prevent bestowing this upon my wife. When I was single this behavior was okay and I found several people that liked it. But I have an unbelievable connection with my wife and we have kids and don't really want to go back to the old shallow me.
