Sex / Pornography Addiction Support Group
Sexual addiction, also sometimes called sexual compulsion, is a form of psychological addiction to sexual intercourse and other sexual behavior.
I have been doing good in that I'm not longer having random hook ups and masturbating to porn etc. Although sometimes I think I went to the other extreme and not being involved in relationships and any sex. But I called some date lines on the phone and masturbated. I probably would have hooked up with someone, but didn't.
