"Addictions are real. They're often, but not always, the result of not being able to cope with trauma. Sex addicts will be enjoying themselves when fucking, it's a way of coping and might also give them a 'high'. When reality kicks in then things like shame may kick in and so the cycle continues as they need sex to feel good again." I couldn't agree more. I've been prone to risky behaviour in the past and it's really just a symptom of a deeper problem. Sex addiction has many different aspects to it and it's entirety possible that the underlying issue has nothing to do with sex. | |||

I also believe that addiction of any type ie, sex, drugs, alcohol, gambling, food, shoping, etc. Are all causes of trauma from there past. Co-dependacy, self esteem, self worth, fear, acceptance, the feeling of being part of, etc... I've done some study's on this. And found that sex addiction, has adverse effects on the individual, on one hand they want to feel wanted, and on the other, the rejection can cause severe depretion, also, after a conjogle meet, they can be left with all the same feelings, low self esteem, low self worth etc... | |||

I struggle with trust and intimacy, sex was a good sustitute for them. | |||
"Sex addiction has many different aspects to it and it's entirety possible that the underlying issue has nothing to do with sex." Another critique of applying an addiction framework to understanding difficulties with sexual self control is that it is a superficial diagnosis. There might often be other things going on and the narrow focus on sexual behaviour might result in missing that. More like it's a symptom of something else rather than an addiction in itself, maybe. But the label can be applied to such a wide range of people I recommend checking out Doug Braun-Harvey's work and his principles of sexual health and rethinking sex addiction | |||
"I saw a guy who was a member on this site he told me he was addicted to sex and he had to see a psychologists. Do members think he knew better . Because all i saw was he was having the time of his life . And now maybe he feels guilty for being found out . I personally found it hard to believe " Sexual addiction is real and can be deliberating.... not doing work. Housework... even not picking up kids from school... Mine is currently under control but it takes effort.. luckily for me my friends know the signs when im getting an issue with it. | |||

"I was diagnosed with sex addiction a few years ago that resulted in me being hospitalised (not for a disease might I add) it frustrates me when people talk about it as though it’s a trophy or a laugh or a bloke on tinder will happily type ‘I’m deffo a sex addict’ being in that position is frightening and often (as said above) turns you into a selfish person. Neglecting real responsibilities and only looking towards a ‘fix’. Much like any other addiction... just very romanticised. " Agree. | |||
