So people,do you think sex is an adiction?!

15th Dec 2009, 08:30 PM

anything that you find pleasure in can become addictive. but sex isn't necessarily one that is bad for you. i mean, it burns calories like mad, boosts your self confidence, and clears up acne. just, you know, make sure you're not so addicted that you need to find dangerous outlets.. best to find a bf (or gf) that's just as addicted as you

I am definitely not addicted to sex. My boyfriend on the other hand may not be addicted, but he definitely has more of a libido than I do

Yes it can be addictive and can be bad for that person.
I know a lesbian who is a sex addict and will end up hooking up with boys or letting boys watch her get off cause she's so addicted to sex.
It's a real problem for her

Sexual addiction is real, but not in quite the same way as addiction to, say, a narcotic. In most cases, a sexual addiction is driven by a psychological problem, either self-esteem issues, or issues relating to a history of sexual abuse.

Both the psychological/emotional closeness one experiences during sex, and the hormone release that happens leading to and during orgasm, the desire for sexual activity can be strong. If this is also coupled with a sense of low self-worth, it can combine to create a strong psychological desire for sex which can be difficult to control.

However, the vast majority of people do not need to worry about becoming sex addicts, and the difference between enjoying sex and wanting lots of it, and being an addict are pretty significant. Like any other addiction, if the pursuit of sex is to the point where it is interfering with other parts of one's life, or the pursuits are putting one in danger, through unhealthy hookups or unsafe sex with unknown or not-well-known partners, then it is something one should be concerned about.

the vast mayority of sons don´t need sexual psychological/emotional desire education, i do a lot . practic the experience word by word, and obiusly to share the knolwedge.
between enjoying sex and being enjoyed, is the inmoral abusive comportantion. to create a strong desire. if education do. education prevent.
i know partenrs, and i do have something to be concerned about. the difficult to control, the sense of concerned self-worth in sexual activities. how can i help me ?

I think that has to do more with your age, gender and past experience than anything, sex addicts are people who can't really go a day without having sex or some kind of sexual contact. If you were addicted you would probably be going to extremes to have sex or sexual contact or masturbating for like 10 hours straight is also in that category. Basically your life would revolve solely around having sex of some sort.

stratavos · 16th Dec 2009, 08:09 PM

... if they're virgins... then they haven't and probably wouldn't have the desire to try again yet. Honestly, it doesn't sound like something to worry about. as it's only an addiction if it's getting in the way of your life (like you can't get to sleep unless you have sex first, or instead of eating food, you have sex). Personally I'm not a sexual addict, and don't expect to become one.

TroubledRyan · 16th Dec 2009, 08:33 PM

naw,I'am good,I have self control...but by god ima let it all go when I get a boyfriend,lol
