Addicted?

[cryingatfatcamp]

I can't believe I'm actually posting on this forum but I seriously don't know who to talk to. I'm seventeen... I've basically ruined every relationship I've ever had because of sex and recently my boyfriend accused me, in all seriousness, of being a sex addict- which shocked me at first but maybe he's right. I really don't know. He said he wants me to go to Sex Addicts Anonymous which is embarassing and I don't know if I need that. He told me this when he found out I cheated on him the day after we got back together... which I honestly don't know why I did. I've found it nearly impossible to remain faithful to him after that since he's been in rehab these past few weeks but I really love him and don't want him to leave me. Like I said I've lost all of my friends because sex ruins relationships and I've fucked most of my guy friends... girl friends... I tried to move in with my friend to get away from my abusive mother but had to move back out because I had sex with her and her girlfriend and we got into a huge fight over it. I used to meet up with guys off of the internet all the time and have sex with them. I've had sex with my friend's dad. With my drug dealers (before I got clean). With random guys for places to stay when I ran away from home. I love sex, watch porn all the time and masturbate one to several times a day.

Is my boyfriend right? Am I really a sex addict?

I can't give you much information on this, but from what you say, yes, it does sound like you are a sex addict. I think going to Sex Addicts Anonymous is a good idea, as if you don't get over this problem then you are going to find that you will never be able to stay faithful to someone and you'll have serious relationship problems down the road. Remember, it is anonymous.

I know this isn;t what you want to hear... But try going to the Sex Addicts Anonymous...Whats the worst that could happen? If you embarrassed... Well hey, anyone else thats there is probably MORE addicted than you :P Good luck!

are u a boy or a girl?¿?¿?¿?¿

I think that you need some kind of help, whether that is Sex Addicts Annoyomous, or whether it is seeing a counciler, trusted adult (that you havent had sex with) or someone else who can help you rebuild your life

BTW, if you need sex all the time, try masturation, it might cut out some of the sex u need

Nymphomania (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nymphomania) is what it's called and I think you could get help for it.

I'm a girl. Yes, I know it's anonymous- I go to AA/NA all the time so I know how 12 step programs work I just wasn't sure if I needed to go but thanks I'll probably try going to a meeting or something :/

And masturbation just isn't the same as sex, sorry. You're dumb.

But the nymphomania thing was really interesting, I've heard of that before... it sounds just like me. I have an appt. with a new therapist tommorow; I'll bring it up. Thanks.

i know masturbation isnt the same as sex, durrh, otherwise no one would have sex and they would just masturbate, but it may help to relieve some of the urges u have to have sex

if it makes you feel good do it

[kolte]

I wouldn't say if it makes you feel good do it. Some people have a higher sex drive then others, and in your case its effecting your life in a negative way. I would normally be rude to you, because I would assume you had no self control and embodied what has become the norm of a decaying society. After all we are all equal and therefor held accountable for our actions based on societies norms. SA meetings are useless. They will tell you how Christ died for you and how he loves you and that putting things between your legs is naughty and you will go to hell if you keep on being yourself. But by all means go. That or control yourself. I refuse to believe your below the rest of us, all you have to do is try. And don't tell me you have, just do it again, and this time don't give in.

And by all means, tell me how thoughtless I am and how rude this post is. But don't deny that its what you know already.
