Are you a sex addict?

[pewpewpew]

I often waste so much time on adultwork looking at potential profiles and so on. I can spend hours planning a punt. I am slightly preoccupied by it and it's starting to really take over my life and I'm not happy with it but find that I can't stop. I did an online test for sex addiction and scored 3 times higher than "normal" guys my age.

Before punting I'd had affairs but wasn't hitting up every floozy at the bar night after night
What do you guys think? Are we sex addicts or is it just natural due to the ease of access that prostitution allows?

If you are spending so much time looking at profiles, and spending hours planning a punt, I suspect that you are not a sex addict, otherwise you would be having sex instead of looking at profiles and planning a punt.

If it's affecting your life then, you could well be. PM me if you want to chat about it. i have experience in this area.

I probably spend hours every week looking at AW and UKP browsing information and profiles etc but then a lot of the established / contributing guys on here do.
Think of it more like a hobby and your doing research before your next purchase or addition to your collection

+3 .... go through the sites everyday even with OH beside me.

Can't be an sex addict though only a UKP and AW addict as I can count the number of punts I've had on 1 hand 😏

[shagmore]

There are on line tests (not sure how realistic they are or true to form) but I have completed a few and it comes out that I am just over the limit of being a sex addict. 
I spend hours looking at the sites choosing my punts, at times get so worked up that I end up seeing a regular on my HL.
Yes, sex is addictive.
I can have se with the GF and then be thinking of when the next time will be, and even though can get it at home, still want more (But what full blooded male doesn't)

[Autopunter]

There's no such thing as sex addiction; but you may have issues with compulsive behaviour or poor impulse control. Speaking personally though, I think you are just acting like a man who has found a way to get easy sex. If you really think you are debauched, try reading some accounts from gay guys about their sex lives...

Well and accurately put. The OP's comments reflect my situation; the more you get, the more you want. But, hey-ho, is this a bad way to be (providing you can afford it)?

This was the point of the question. Is it just because it's so easy to get when you're a punter? I do believe that I have poor impulse control though. Put myself in dodgy sutuations for sex and afterwards I ask myself "what the fuck have you done?". But at the time there's no stopping me.

I tried to stop punting, as I'm sure many of you guys have. Seems to be an impossible task

[PleadInsanity]

I think it becomes more an obsession than anything to the point it feels like an addiction.

Leaving aside the issue of the medical/scientic definition of what is meant by the term addiction.

I do not believe 'access' per se makes one a sex addict, one can still be addicted to sex in a variety of different ways. What I would say is sex is like certain drugs once you start it is very hard to stop.

My own thoughts are that the body has a 'mind' of its own excuse the pun

Good luck in trying to sort this aspect of your life out

Busy looking for another FAF blonde to add to the collection as I type this.

[bigmanbigman]

When things become normal its a addiction.
When things become out of control
Its a problem.

[hamchang]

The wasted hours is why I am going to head back into the parlours again. I usually am a last minute type, so you have an afternoon window, start looking. Sometimes by the time you find a suitable bird in a suitable location who is actually available the window of opportunity has almost past.

[hungrypunt]

Think of it as doing extensive research to ensure your next "project" is a good as it can be

[standardpostage]

A quick answer to a hard question. I would say up to 2 hours of research a day is OK.  The 2 hours can be over the course of the day, or all at once.  It helps to be fit and healthy to enjoy sex. Hence time away from the computer doing other stuff : walking, swimming, the gym, cycling etc. Remember you are not studying for an exam 
Obviously everyone is different, some people do a little more searching, some a lot less.
My average is 2 hours, some days a little more, some days less.
Also depends if you work full time or are retired.
Kind regards, hope your OK 

[willie loman]

Some of us are just more sexually charged than the average. Watched a mate of mine in the street around lunchtime, pavement full of office girls getting sandwiches, he didn't look once, he is my age, 60, and when young he was out on the prowl like the rest of us. He just doesn't have much testosterone.

How old are you, as when I was in my mid thirties, I was randy as fuck, prostitutes, porn, masturbation at every available time, through time found out I had a very high sex drive

Now as I go older, my interest in sex has declined as I get older, to the point to day, I can look at porn and don't get excited, only get excited if I'm  in the mood

As for seeing escort, only now see them maybe every 3-6 months, where as when I was 30 years old, would see escorts on a fortnightly basis

[JB90]

I wouldn't say I'm an addict, but I'm certainly a horny bastard most of the time.

For example, I have a 2 hour punt booked in for Tuesday night and I'm sat here desperately trying not to beat off in order to save my man juice for the whore in question.

I'm also planning my next punt already.

After reading that back actually, perhaps I am an addict!

[Dipper]

I also admit to being a little obsessed.

Women's bodies, sex , wanking , punting, AW, UKP, porn pics, vids and so forth.

Feel I need to cum almost daily.. 

[redtill]

As men are we not just "hard wired" to wanna fuck.Hence the seed & delivery system

[pewpewpew]

I'm in my 30s and have never been so sexually charged. Some guys don't get any at home and just accept that as life, some can't accept that and turn to punting or whatever. I just think maybe it's something we all have in common. I see the occasional why we punt post and for me I don't see that I have a choice any more. I've lost control

Would be interesting if the punting scene just disappeared. Would we be the fuckers at the bar trying to pull any old skank?

[Horizontal pleasures]

No deviation or hesitation, much repetition, I am a sex addict all my adult life. It used to be missus. civvies or punting but now too old for civvies so mainly punting and sometimes missus, probably a punt 2 out of 3 weeks average all the year, not bad for 75!

Well impressed HP. Does the OH still get the good news then

[Conker]

I think that I am a sex addict even though I get plenty from the OH I still just thing about sex all the time, spend hours on AW,  punt probably every month it seems, AW is like, being a gambler in a casino or a alcoholic in a off license, but I am happy doing it

I view AW as the ultimate sweety shop and I have a sweet tooth - I know where you're coming from.

At the moment on TV there is a programme called "100 year old drivers".  In the future, when society is more broadminded, they may make a programme called 100 year old punters 
Respect to you Mr HP   

[yorkshirepunter3333]

yep, 100% addict, I keep telling myself that I need to stop, telling myself to put a cap on the costs, I sometimes only take ONE card out with me so I can limit the cash withdrawal on a big night on the town..

I have just done one of them tests and it said

Results: It is likely that sexual addiction is an issue for you. We encourage you to look at the questions to which you answered yes, asking yourself how you feel about your responses. We also encourage you to consider a consultation with a therapist or sexual addiction treatment program to discuss any sexual issues that are bothering you or causing you problems. Worried you or a loved one may be struggling with sex addiction?

I pay all my bills, have zero debt, no problems with my job and tbh, home life is good. But, I do feel that I spend to much time on AW, Gumtree and UKP planning my next punt and then I can be let down and think, NO NEVER AGAIN and guess what I am doing a few hours later. I sometimes even try to knock one out before a plan a punt but it does not lower my sexual needs enough to make me work rather than punt or plan a punt.

I do keep considering getting professional help, but at the same time I enjoy punting even with my let downs, I tend to go for a massage with HE at the moment as I like the not knowing part. I also enjoy the BDSM side of things. 

GOOD TOPIC

[Jay189]

Think I might be.

God I don't wanna know how much I've spent on punting since I started in May.

Going out tonight, and usually have a hungover punt the day after. Just currently researching lol.

[Conker]

With the advent of AW ,punting is like shopping online, see something that you like and, one phone call is all takes to get yourself in between a hot 20 something year olds legs. Contrast this with the  hoops you have to jump thought , the mine field you have to cross, the money and effort that you have to commit  with civi women , to only (might get something in return) . Punting is not sex addiction, rather men making smart rational choices with his time and  money.

[Moby Dick]

I think I have always had a big appetite for sex which has been a struggle to satisfy. The more I have the more I want. My concern is the escalating costs and time sourcing my increasingly adventurous tastes.
I have a few ideas that I need to follow through with.....and then somehow I will try and take a break

[bigmanbigman]

Its the sweet shop situation
With a sweet tooth B-)

[bigmanbigman]

Its called addiction.

[Itsnotshy]

I'm on a break from punting at the moment due to non-punting related medical issues.Am struggling to find meaning in life,don't know what to do with my spare time,getting irritable.
So yes I think I just might be a sex addict.
If you think you're an addict try going a month or two without and see how you feel.

Thats good , so how about your first review in 2 years then. It would be appreciated by all of us. 

[mr boner]

I think its not a matter of being a sex addict but someone who loves the variety!! And that's why you would spend so much time searching always looking for the perfect escort, but never finding her because the variety is such a turn on

[Horizontal pleasures]

so you have seen a variety of ladies so why not share your fun and write some reviews?

[mr boner]

Not all my fuck buddies have been escorts, also a lot of my favourite escorts only worked for a short time alas' have now gone

Not so much a ‘sex addict’, more so that generally blokes are wired to ‘spread the seed’ and fuck as many women as possible. Which is what we’re all striving to achieve.

[myothernameis]

I kind of disagree, if Glasgow still had the massage parlours, and I had a favourite escort, I think I would be seeing her on a regular basis, and no need to phone to make booking just turn up

But as for AW, it dose have its advantages, 100's of escorts to choose from, feedback reviews point out who good and who not so good.  You also have an idea of the escorts likes, and if it something you were looking for,

[sparkus]

Probably, to answer the question.

I live in a city of 10m people and on its most well known punting site (UKP) I'm in the top three commenters on a) Chinese massage shops and b) women in the street.  I put serious hours, cash and eyeballs into this.

I think the issue is that we have the means to spend time planning and plotting.
It can suck you in and become an obsession.
Its not like clubbing and taking what you can get at the end of the day.
You see the film where the serial killer has pictures on the wall and plans and is obviously (?) an obsessive pyscho.
Well, we have hotlists.  And saved searches.
