sex addiction

Hi everyone! I am a 20-year-old college student seeking to rehabilitate the problematic sexual behavior I display in my everyday life. I am not trying to recover from porn addiction, as that is a fight that cannot be fought until I fix my behavior. I am a man who is haunted by my own mistakes...

About six months ago I discovered that my partner, whom I loved very much and never in my life would have thought could cheat on me, is addicted to sex. During our 8-year relationship, he cheated on me over 100 times (mostly with prostitutes). It seemed to me that we had a very good...

Any recommendations? Anyone want to second a recommendation. The best movies that I have seen are: Thanks for Sharing Don Jon Don Jon was really good. Thanks for Sharing was amazing. Anyone have any other recommendations?

Hello, Does anyone else struggle with being in public, like the grocery store? It really triggers my urges to act out and fantasize about encounters with strangers. The sheer amount and variety in the bodies there, the clothing making my imagination go crazy, and the potential to catch...

I am wondering how long I will need to remain off PM before real sex seems better and I can have a real fulfilling sexual relationship. I'm not sure I even know what "real sex" is like. I have been PMOing for 25 years and been with my wife for 20 of those, they are so intertwined. My wife...

I'm curious do any agnostics or atheists go to Sex Addicts Anonymous? The meetings are located in an inconvenient location for me at the moment but I'm hoping to move in the next 5 or 6 years and was open to going to it. The other day I was looking over their website and as an agnostic, I was...

I'm a 25 year old man who always thought of myself as straight. Around 3 years ago I started going on apps like grindr anonymously and eventually started meeting with other men. At this point I accept that I am bisexual. But I really do think that if porn hadn't been a major part of my sexual...

I feel fucking empty They have made me believe that sex was the best thing in the world, and it was a fucking lie. I'm devastated, do men really cry for not having sex? Casual sex is the biggest lie in this society, I have not felt love, I have not felt pleasure, I have not felt anything. It...

I found myself in many things that this famous actor said about his s. addiction, not everything but wow It is sort of comforting having a reminder from time to time that we are not alone in struggling with p. and s. addiction and these are much more spread issues that we realize sometimes i...

Here are some of the obstacles you may encounter on your way to liberating your self from fapping, porn and sex addiction 1) Hyper sexual energy, especially at the start of your journey, after a relapse or wet dream. 2) Flat line; after some time of hyper energy you could go into a low energy...

Self respect, freedom, search of truth and health. And for you?

This is only my view on it , on the experience so it might not be the same for everyone else. I think Pois is simply the body being confused (simple term) and "acting" on it. Its some sort of CNS taxation rather then just simple fight or flight response. In a flight or fight sitation, lets say...

Hi everyone, I have been going very well and last week I met this girl, a really pretty and good natured girl. She has never actually seen porn and though she's had sex before, she talked about it with the typical dissapointment and droll you often hear. I decided to tell her about the effects...

First time poster here. I'll try to keep this short. I have a sex addiction that started from porn and masturbation. An addiction that spiraled out of my control - affecting my parents, wife, friends and other people that know me. Everyday I wake up with guilt, shame, regret and a feeling...

Does anyone have any experience with this? I feel like now that I haven't been watching porn I suddenly have been wanting to go back to my college lifestyle of random hookups several times a week. I think it's because it's a lot harder for me to reach O by myself without P and I hate the...

Here we go, this will be a long one. I have been an addict for 13 years, never making it more than a few days without PMO. Despite this I still believed in no sex before marriage (talk for another day). Four years ago I met a girl who happened to be my first girlfriend ever, I was 22 going on...

Hi, my name is Joseph and I have struggled with this problem for many years now. This has greatly effected intimacy with my wife and other relationships as well. I’m beginning to wonder how much this has caused a lot of my depression issues and ability to focus on day to day tasks. Anyway, I...

I tried something, because I had enough of masturbation. Too much ! It was difficult to me to stop. I couldn't sleep without masturbation. And I realised that I didn't want to have good relationship. I had more fun with myself. I started something since a few months. I don't touch my penis...

Hey all, Firstly, I'm cautiously optimistic of the step forward I am taking. I know it's going to be a daunting vice to overcome, but I truly believe that it will lead me to a better place than I have been since I was a young child. I have been regularly masturbating since maybe 10 years of...

I am a gay male who has been married for years. I have struggled with porn/sex/chat addiction almost my whole life. About a year ago I made it to 180 days with no fapping, porn, acting out, or chat hookups. Now I have just climbed out of a month long hole of obsession, chat and porn daily...

Well, to start off I'm 25 years old and my name is Dave I'm currently in a relationship with my girlfriend we have been together for over a year now. Before I met her I was deep into my porn addiction and my taste got warped into transwoman stuff and occasionally gay porn but primarily transwoman...

Started to notice the feeling of strength and power today. It’s been years since I’ve been sober this long from porn/pmo, it’s been 15 days. Eating cleaner, feeling a sense of calm and purpose in my day. I’m so used to the shame, sadness, and anger that this is a welcome change. My addiction is...

Porn has been compared with being as addictive as cocaine and heroin. That is because of “The Coolidge Effect”. The male brain is wired to release dopamine for sexual novelties, this because nature wants to make sure we reproduce as a species. So seeing a “new” female will spike the...

I have found that for myself through my struggles as a Porn Addict and for others it seems that being unable to provide love and meaning to relationships is an issue. Would you agree? If yes, what bothers you the most about it?

I have been reading about porn addiction on this site and on something called reboot nation and in the booklet I downloaded from this site and I was also watching a TED talk episode about internet porn. It is all so uncomfortably on the mark. Being that I am old enough to have started on Playboy...

i'm worried that im a sex addict. i have looked at the online quiz and i fit the criteria and actually got a higher score than my porn addict partner. when i look up female sex addiction it annoys me because of the gender stereotypes that women are not the same as men in that we are addicted...

Hey guys. I have a very important question for you who have successfully (or not) won PMO addiction. ALERT FOR TRIGGERS! During all my life every woman that I feel attracted I wanna have sex. I don't know if that happens because of my PMO addicted mind or just my male instinct. There is a 52yo...

So recently I started listening (AudioBooks) to a really interesting book based on sexual addiction. So far it is great and it is written by a professional who first hand experienced sexual addiction from a young child all the way to adulthood. It's a really great read and shows many real life...

When I have read that some couples have sex once or twice a week I am wondering if my SO is normal since he wants it once a day, and sometimes twice a day now that he isn’t watching P. My guess is that he was PMOing 3 times a day plus sex with me at night! He lied about it then admitted to it...

Now that I am becoming clean of the addiction, I read and I learn more about the backgrounds of pornstars and prostitutes. So today I opened my app Brainbuddy and I read the downside of pornography: For viewers, pornography can appear to be a fantasy world of pleasure and thrills. For those...

I decided to stop watching porn and masturbate today because I've noticed my blood sugar went up a bit high as well as my blood pressure. I'm a healthy 34 year old man and I have no health issues whatsoever. I've been to the doctor and everything is ok with me. But my blood pressure is causing...

Hello, I am a 39 y/o gay male and though I had long suspected I was having a problem, it took a very long time to fully admit it. What helped me admit it to myself was the fact I reached a point I couldn't function sexually anymore, not even with myself. I reached a point where I could get an...

Hello. I quit porn about two months ago and have been on recovery ever since. My long-time Internet porn addiction evolved into a sex addiction and I did wrong things. In last November I "woke up" because somebody on a dating site told me how wrong I had done and I told my spouse. Long story...

Hey everyone, my name is Marcus. At 25 I can safely admit for the first time to anyone that I have been addicted to pornography for about 15 years now. I have more vivid memories of the first time I watched porn than the first time I shot a basketball with my dad. It has really taken over my...

Hi! I guess now that I'm here it's time for me to admit to myself that I have an addiction. I've struggled with my sexual proclivities for a long time — it's very hard to be sex-positive and open-minded and be able to draw the line where kinky and fun becomes unacceptable and unhealthy. I've...

How do I keep myself out from masterbating. As I'm alone most of the time. Mainly at nights.

I am willing to quit masturbation as I chose to believe it has brain effects on me. Once I started masturbating my sexual fantasies would go wild and I see women passing the streets in a sexual way (you know what I mean); I've also begun to act in an introverted manner NEGATIVELY! I've also...
