Guidance - Am I a Sex Addict?

Hello Everyone,

I've been on the NoFap journey for about a year and some change now. Riddled with relapses, but each time I learn something new. I'm pushing and trying very hard this time, and I'm committed 100%. My longest streak has been 22 days, and I say this as a preface in order to ask my question.

Am I a Sex Addict? or are my problems seriously deep seated in Pornography?

Regardless of the answer, I'm looking to be a better man and have a more fulfilling relationship. I seem to have a very high sex drive, and every time I'm with my girlfriend I begin to think, how can we get to sex? I've spoken to her about these tendencies and how I want to break this cycle. She has much lower sex drive and when I try to get things moving, when she breaks away or says no. I tend to get upset, I don't fight, argue or get emotional, but I have a moment of frustration.

What I want is to break away from the cycle and not constantly thinking about sex, I want to be able to focus more on experiences and the moments I can share with her, while letting sex come naturally. Sometimes I get afraid that if I don't push it, we may not have sex because of her lower sex drive. This I believe is also negative thinking.

I'm looking for the root cause in order to break this constant cycle and become a better man. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

 

Thank you! Do you think stopping sex with my partner as well?

 

I can definitely do that. I appreciate the guidance.

 

I appreciate the words. As an update, I spoke to my girlfriend and we are going to do 90 days of no PMO. I think this will really help me.

 

Thanks! Yes, I have. Most of the time I relapse after sex with my partner which comes natural. However, the chaser effect always seem to get me. I appreciate the well wishes and I will continue to keep everyone up to date with my progress. So far progressing pretty well by keeping myself busy and in the gym.

 

Gracias por la ayuda, ojala que puede llegar a un nivel balanciado.

Thanks PMOZombie, I'll definitely look into this. I'm actually currently looking for new GP and once I can find one I will approach this subject.
