My question is how come people aren’t writing a letter to congress to stop selling sex? The fashion industry and media industry and strip clubs need to be held accountable by putting a disclaimer that tells people not to sexually assault some one that’s attractive and wearing inappropriate revealing provocative clothing.

    I knew I've had trouble with adult content for years, but once I got sober, I can see it's much deeper. I'm working on my drinking and tried a SAA meeting but I felt out of place. I think I'm taking on too much, I haven't yet done the steps for alcohol. It's possible my bad habits are spiking right now cause I just quit drinking. I've quit adult content before, idk if I need a whole new fellowship for it, we'll see.

    The worst part of an adiction like this, is that you can acctually get atached/hooked to someone who you dont even sure of you like. But the chemestry on your brain, you lust, will blind you. And even when you see, you will want that "sloppy bj", or that "cheeks pounding" over your racionality. That can cost you years of your life, a divorce, never finding true love. I am currently going trough this right now. There are other ladys on the world worth keeping, screw that narcisist woman, if you need any advice dont be ashamed just ask. I feel you.
    Sexual urges are NOT a soft thing.

    Interesting. I used to have a mood component since I struggled with depression and anxiety which I found out 90% of that was because I had been chronically sleep depriving myself for a decade. I used to have a spiritual component since I was sleep deprived I couldn't think or introspect so I didn't know who I was. Which is a creative. Now I just need to fix my biological and psychological triggers.

    I'm Proud of Everyone that can admit, I have a Problem. I'm dating someone, I really Love. I found out his past was over promiscuous. Which I found out it didn't stop when we got together. He claims, he never cheated on me. He claims, he was just playing with women and he watch porn when he was bored. I don't, believe him, knowing he was just giving himself away freely before me. I feel there was no way, that behavior magically Stopped. I keep begging him to talk to someone. I keep telling him, this actions are not Normal or Healthy. He says I have no problem, it's called being A Man. It makes me sad.

I really love him too, but I start med school in June and I don't think I can deal with this in med school. It makes me feel sad that....he might not be capable of loving someone because of this warped reality that this addiction imposes. I don't like to research it because it makes me feel empty inside.

    My question is... Is there a connection with undiagnosed adhd people and sex addiction. I'm 42 f and have only just been diagnosed with adhd. One of my odd traits growing up was being highly sexual like a teenage boy and masterbating alot. I never craved the attention or validation from the person... Just the passion of the encounter itself. I've always thought us adhd people are very instinct based... And when I'm its the physical side I chase... Adrenaline / dopamine rush and how it makes me feels not the emotional side...I don't consider that ... I hope someone understands lol

    • @DrDougWeiss

      ADHD would not be a reason for a sex addiction, but it could compound it. The book "She Has a Secret" and the "Secret Solutions" workbook could be helpful for you.

      At that part (regarding sexual abuse), I was referring to how men don't always think that what happened to them was sexual abuse (instead of just being "lucky"). Women, however, usually realize that they have been sexually abused.
      Aside from that, women do struggle with sex addiction as well. The book "She Has a Secret" covers such.
