Being a sex addict isnt about how much you cum or even have sex.... its about where in your life you place it.
I am in rehab so to speak.. Mr keeps me focussed and sex doesn't rule my life now. I manage to put my own health and family before a fuck.. something I couldn't always do. Sometimes it takes a lot of restraint but I have tried to change my focus
Your a sex addict when you would rather have sex than go to work. As in days off just for it and often.. food comes second.. you forgot to do normal things and your life revolves around it.
Thankfully at present that isnt me but... my desires are still the same just my focus has shifted. |

Not my focus, but is it a good idea to be on this? Like a recovering drug addict working in a meth lab |

pretty good place for a sex addict to be, really.
you can think or talk about sex if you wanna. sometimes you get reminders of why sex addiction isn't the best idea. some things put you off sex also. |

Her story sounds quite sad to me, causing such stress to herself and her family by the sounds of it. I don't think a site dedicated to sex is the best place for a self confessed sex addict.
Free to do as she pleases though, she's obviously better placed to decide |

Let's be honest for a second, when sex is more important than food or family, and you acknowledge you're a sex addict, this isn't s good place to be.
You say it lessens your stress, well it's more important to her than everything. Insensitive to turn a blind eye to this |

The criteria, developed by a DSM-5 sexual and gender identity disorders work group for the revised manual, establish a number of symptoms that must be present in order for the diagnosis to be made.
The symptoms for sex addiction include a recurring pattern of sexual fantasies, urges and behaviors lasting six months or longer that are not caused by other issues, such as substance abuse, another medical condition or manic episodes associated with bipolar disorder.
Also, an individual must show a pattern of sexual activity in response to unpleasant mood states, such as feeling depressed, or a pattern of repeatedly using sex as a way of coping with stress.
The criteria also states that individuals must be unsuccessful in their attempts to reduce or stop sexual activities they believe are problematic.
“As with many other mental health disorders, there must also be evidence of personal distress caused by the sexual behaviors that interfere with relationships, work or other important aspects of life,” Reid said. |

You said it lessons stress for you. She says it came above EVERYTHING and was putting huge strain on how family. So I don't know what you're getting at? That you're a sex addict also? |

also extremely qualified to decide and been doing this for 17 years... it helps a lot. And I haven't been like that for 4 years now thanks to having a man that understands me and helps me |
