Am I a sex addict?

by Sienna @ 2007-03-21 - 14:01:53

Sadly, I missed most of that programme the other night, or should that be "thankfully"?
I caught some of the advice Ulrika was given however, and it made me think.
Any addiction is used to mask one's feelings or as an escape from a situation where one might be confronted by those feelings, as in:
Sad? Have chocolate!
Bored? Go drinking!
No mates? Play on that XBox/computer/your bits!
Lonely? Have sex!

This behaviour, to use sex as an escape/validation/confidence-booster or pastime can probably be ascribed to me too, at least in some situations.

Not sure what someone feels about you? Seduce them! You will feel like they love you/find you sexy, attractive or not too fat.

Want some closeness but keep meeting bastards and your friends are fed up with your moaning? Pick someone up and have an entertaining one-night stand!

Horny as hell but no boyfriend? Chat to your mate across the pond via MSN until he comes all over his keyboard!

No-one to talk to late at night? Call that sweet and caring fat boy in Scotland with the depressed mum, he will listen and his soothing voice will talk you all the way to orgasm!

Nothing on TV? Think something sexy and have a quick wank.

Bored at work? Traipse the online personals and feel desired and mysterious!

Can't be sure of someone's true intentions towards you? Have a few more dates for back-up!

Feel like shit? Get dressed up and hit the town, darling!

It wasn't just about sex - it was about being a relationship addict, too. People who can't stand being on their own and therefore choose the wrong partners (as in "you'll do for now") which was Ulrika's problem, apparently.

She wrote about it in the Screws at the weekend: http://www.notw.co.uk

Sex addiction can't be that bad. What is there in life that satisfies as good as an orgasm anyway?

I want sex because it's the only time I really feel happy, I can forget everthing else. Orgasms are like an anesthetic, they stop you feeling pain for at least a few minuets. Does this mean I'm addicted? I'm not sure.

I actually watched the whole programme on repeat yesterday. Certain things certainly do ring true, even if I am not afraid to assert myself to a horse in case he dislikes or attacks me.
We all have our issues, and I am planning to look into mine a bit more.
I think I can be escapeist and getting attention from strangers is less dangerous and more satisfying than findign yourself in a disappointing relationship...

Sienna, my dear, as you know I've always said we've got a lot in common - excluding gender of course.

But isn't it great that we have the freedom, the possibility of doing so?
I actually think that there are different kinds of sex. It just feels so different depending on whether it's a one night stand or love-making with a boyfriend.
Hard to tell which one is better. They are just very different...

Surely it's about how you feel later? I listen to some people and when they say how good it makes them feel it rings hollow - As though they're trying to convince themselves. If the sex feels good and stays a good memory then it seems right to me, regardless of whether it's a little, a lot, too many people, whatever. I think it should be life enhancing, whether deep or shallow. Agree about hard to tell what is 'better', just 'different'...

addiction is bs. addicted is a technical term for isms. like alcoholism. or eat drugs to stay high. drug addiction. who has sex to maintain an orgasmic state of mind?

that's impossible. i've noticed that. a half hour later i'm back on top;)

that's not addiction. there is no such thing. unless you're walking around jerking off anywhere you are. like when a happy couple act like rabbits the first 6 months. they screw everywhere where they live, which is kinda weird, but love all the same, and of course god isn't watching, and they kiss everywhere, for no reason. just to rub it in or something.

okay you're a sex addict if you have sex with different people in a week. no wait thats a guy. you're guy. okay you're a sex addict if you flirt with everyone and try but fail and end up masturbating to porn. no wait that's lonely and pathetic. hmm...
