Dr. Bob and all: Is sex addicition real?

Posted by ian34 on June 11, 2006, at 22:25:46

I'm 35 do online porn compulsively for whole weekends, have spent thousands of dollars on prostitutes and massage garbage and haven't had a relationship at age 35. Stopped aa years ago and don't even have friends anymore outside of work. Went to get help they said it's real and there is 12-step stuff but not very sucessful compared to aa. Cannot stop even when faced with enormous consequences and earnestly wanted to. Told that I have sever gad and medium depression and am on lamictal and zoloft. Alcoholic, shizoaffective mother bad childhood etc. This is bad enough that I've wished for death but wouldn't do that because I would never do that to my family. Relationships suck for me I cannot get close it's like a physical repulsion at the thought of that closeness.Ok, my rant is complete gracias.

You want my 2 bob's worth?

They would say it's real; they sell the antidote.

What once was the province of morality becomes therapy. It's all nonsense.

I just wonder if you can enjoy sex with someone who has no real feeling for you? I'm not suggesting you shouldn't.

Certain periods,and certain drugs bring this on for me as well,more so i spen my time unproductivly viewing etc on the net and like,luckly i dont seek out actualy behaviour too often,but i am a bit younger.

I think a lot of self guilt comes with this,and is tied in to the condition.You may have a stronger sexual tendacacy then every guy but in general im sure ur not too far along,however most guys i assume when not facing emotional depression dont feel self guilt,its like boom boom and over.


People like ourselves contribute this subconsciously to our self worth,prob more so than we should,which prob in turn has up ending up being less social and in the bahviour even more so.

Anyway if my urges are satisifeid by a woman friend or other,etc,usualy for the next two days i feel better,like a demon was released,i wondered on the role this plays with me as well.

I agree with Declan. Maybe you don't want a close relationship. Most importantly do you enjoy it? Love Phillipa
