Is there suck as things as being addicted to sex?

I've been dating my BF for a few eyars now but- recently broke up. Every time i want to have sex- i take a shower and fall asleep to fight the anxiety. I'm a bit scared about catching something from someone else that's why i won't get out there and look for someone. Some times- it's so bad because i sit at home and watch porn and masturbate. I'm a girl and that's normal for a guy to do but- i find mysielf doing so and feel guilty afterwards. My former BF and i broke up 2 months ago but we still talk and hang out. There's been a couple of occasions when we make love but- i feel bad after because we're not together anymore and I feel used by him and as if i'm using him too. I've never caught an STD and neither has he and i think that's why he looks for me istead of anyone else when he wants sex.But- 90% of the time I initiate it. He loves that about me. I'm up for it at amay time anywhere and at the same time when we fight-he uses it against me %26amp; calls me a whore. Is that normal?

Yes, there is in fact people who are addicted to sex. But are you one of them? What I know is that when it is an addiction, it really affects you, making it impossible to have a normal life, sleeping with complete strangers, putting at risk your health, etc. It doesn't sound like your behavior though... You can be very interested in sex, but it only becomes a problem when you can't control it and you can't lead a normal life...
Reply:it's called lust,
Reply:If you are a man and can't control it then society laughs at you when you screw an ugly or fat chick.





If you are a woman who can't control it and screw lots of other guys you are a slut. Accept it. However if you choose to sleep with other women to satisfy your needs that is perfectly acceptable and you would not be a slut.
Reply:there is such a thing i have the same problems as you im also affraid of catching something, i was also in a long term relationship. if you ever have an erge to im here and willing. contact me leglover111@yahoo.com
Reply:yeah your normal but as for going back to him just for sex and not wanting to meet someone who would treat you better i have to say is stupid
Reply:stay away from him, and email me. we can be sex buddies, I can show you my medical report that states i'm clean.
Reply:you are not addicted to sex u are as normal as anyone else.
Reply:It is just fine . It just means you have a high sex drive . Some women give birth %26amp; loose that %26amp; some women get worse as they hit their 30's . All woman handle sex different. I will say that's smart thinking in being selective on going out %26amp; sleeping just with anyone.You guys keep on having sex with each other if no one feels offended cause you probably get along better this way. As far as him calling you a whore He must really like what you give if he keeps coming back. Don't let it bother you.
Reply:wow u r having a real big dilemna


well u need to be strong


why dont u get back with him?

work things out
Reply:Yes, sex addiction is very real, but it sounds like you're just horny. If you were a real addict, you'd be out there getting some and wouldn't care so much as to where it's coming from. Some girls get more horny than other girls, just like some guys get more horny than other guy. There's absolutely nothing wrong with masturbating! It's very healthy to release that anxiety. You'll sleep a lot better after you get yourself off. And if your not in a relationship, then more power to you because you can masturbate to multiple guys in your fantasy. From what you described, you are FAR from a whore. You ex just says that to get to you. He's your ex, he knows what buttons to push to upset you. If he keeps it up, it's time to ditch him and go shopping for toys at the porn store.
Reply:I may very well be normal (I don't always pay attention to such things), but what's "normal" and what's RIGHT do not often coincide. Best not to confuse the two, for it's what's right that matters.
Reply:After breaking up, sex is one of the hardest things to let go.
Reply:Absolutley, Its called Nymphomania. I have it, and "ADIDAS"
Reply:YES...................................
Reply:there is such a thing... if you think you have a problem then see a psychologist.


However, it is perfectly normal to have a high sex drive. It is also normal for you to watch porn. It is also normal for you to masturbate. The media and the way we're raised in this country makes us think, as women, that sex is dirty. It isn't. It's perfectly natural and don't you let him call you a whore. THAT is where the guilty feelings come in from. It's society judgement upon us. I got called a whore when I was 7 because a boy kissed me. It traumatized me until high school. That person was a coward and jealous...


Bottom line: think for yourself. be happy with yourself. as long as you can go home look at yourself in the mirror and be happy with what you've done and are doing as a whole, then you'll be ok.
Reply:You can't live your life wrapped up in fear! Go out and find yourself a friend with benefits!
Reply:once I turned 30 i couldn't get enough. It is really hard on us because we are taught it is not normal. Just think of it as a guy who is 16 they can not get enough either. Your not out there getting sex from everyone and your thinking safely.
