Hi all, I am new to this support group. I have been a member of the alcoholics support group for awhile and even though I know I have a problem with sexual addiction too I guess it is just a little harder to admit to it.
First let me tell you my story as far as sexual addiction.
When I was young I used to do what any horny teenage boy would and masturbate in any way possible using whatever was available. At that time I would use imagination mostly but had the occasional porn mag and even used to watch channel 99 all blurry but could hear the action... lol
When I was about 21 I got internet for the first time and found my way to the porn sites. This started a daily ritual of spending hours in front of the computer looking at movies, pictures or even live streaming video and masturbating. This went on even when I had a girlfriend.
At age 26 I got married but continued with the same behavior. My wife and I were having a good sex life but instead of stopping the behavior I actually got worse.
I had a minor back injury while playing basketball and so I went to a massage parlor down the street and was soon introduced to the "happy ending." I was hooked. There's no telling how much money I've spent on various massage parlors and escorts. I have slept with more women since I got married than I had prior to marriage.
I have seriously decreased the number of times I have been with escorts in the last year, mostly due to financial constraints but I still continue to masturbate to the images I find on my computer on a daily basis.
I guess the question I have is do any of you know if addictions can be intertwined? I mean can my alcoholism and my sexual addiction be related? I find it very hard to quit either behavior. I have tried and cannot.
Thanks for any responses.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I guess I am wondering then if addictions can be related. Is it just an addictive personality? Meaning I am more easily addicted to behaviors, such that I love the feeling sex gives me and I love the feeling alcohol gives me so therefore I am addicted.
