I was insane with sex addiction. I couldn;t or wouldn;t engage in relationships and was constantly going to sex massage parlors. I spent thousands of dollars and could not stop. I used to look at porn for like eight hours at a time. I don't know if it is OCD or because I'm an alcoholic or what. I haven;t done any of it in two years. I dunno how or why I changed. I think the biggest thing is stopping benzos which make me "high" and I am an alcoholic. I went to to sex anonymous and sex shrinks who told me no one can stop on their own blah blah but I did. Strange, I can;t say it isn;t a real addiction or that you can stop. The most important thing that I was told was to allow myself to feel my feelings at all cost. Don;t take benzos don't abuse substances and deal with your feelings and issues in group and therapy because you are numbing yourself with this sex, manically distracting your mind with obsession.
