Sex Addiction?

[figleaf]

I’m not sure if it’s it counts as addiction when it’s something you are genetically programmed to do, but does anyone ever worry they have an unhealthy obsession with sex? 

Some weeks I feel like 90% of my brain cycles and effort have been in some way relating to getting laid.  Last week I did punting, SA, strip clubs, Tinder etc.

It doesn’t really cause problems in real life yet but feels like it’s a matter of time.  For the first time I’m actually a bit worried about getting caught out as it all leaves such an electronic trail nowadays.  Feels a bit like I’m walking a fine line rather than a healthy hobby!

Yep, at times I have dealt addicted to sex. the only way to get over it was to stop for a set period of time, has made a big difference to my bank balance on the +ve side.
Appear to have gone of sex at present due to a bad punt or two, and just shaging for the sake of.

With punting you can manage the electronic trail better,with SA and Tinder it is harder and it is easy to make mistakes,depends what you have to lose relationship or career wise.

This was my problem.  Punting has served my needs for approaching 20 years, but I experienced such a drop off in quality I have gone down other routes which are more time consuming and messier.

Yeah kinda feel the same way recently too. No major drama yet, but I just feel like I'm on the road to some sort of addiction.

Also noticed since I've become a punter, I'm wanking to porn more.

Sometimes twice a day and then I'll still punt the next day. :|

I am getting addicted to sex. Its only the bank balance curtailing my punts....

The point when you need to start to be concerned is when you continue to go through with a punt even though you have a little voice in your head saying, “Nah mate, come one, you dont really want to be doing this.”

So I need to start to be concerned.....
I want to be in female company more for intimacy than for sex.

There are a lot of (unproven) claims that men think about sex, on average, every 7 seconds! So that's about twice while you have read this? Can't see that at all or where that comes from myself.

Addicted nah !

If I was mega rich I’d have a flippin harem

Urban myth, it derives from a study in the 40s where it was found that men (on average) think about sex twice as much as women (on average). But even that doesn't mean much as it varies between individuals. For example, on a punt I am thinking about sex every second, whilst the WG isn't thinking about sex at all.

Think there a lot going on and big differences in what punters are looking for.

With the rise of the GFE the demand for more than a pump and dump is there but suppose that has lead to the rise of EAS as recent examples show!

Yes punting is expensive and need to budget and addictive as it is, need a cut off point but think if looking to fill a gap in your life then it's a dangerous thing.

[misterali]

I work with a punting budget to control my addiction. I am trying and failing to curtail my wanking habits.

If I do visit strip clubs I usually count that as entertainment money much like going to the pub or a dinner. I have found SA to be disappointing personally so I stopped throwing money at it and no way will I be on Tinder as OH will find out soon I’d imagine

If I removed some of these barriers then it would be a mad descent into a sex obsessed life. In the past I was visiting wg regularly mixed with pulling civvies as well as strip clubs thrown in! I guess I’m glad I toned that all down.

[Moby Dick]

Yes you are programmed to want sex, and yes it is very addictive. The more you have the more you want

I spent most of my teens thinking about it, wanking over porn mags, before the Internet. Out most nights on the pull, very unfaithful

 Fucking the strippers on a Sunday lunchtime for a quid in the hat. Technically my first paid fuck
Progressed to street prossies and massage parlours.
If only I put as much effort into university and my career! I could have been a successful millionaire. Imagine the fun I could have with more money!
Yeah its addictive. I spend too much time looking for it, and not enough doing it.

Think sounds like the olden days?  What decade?

[Moby Dick]

Late 80s, most of the 90s.
Then lap dancing sort of became the norm, which was not as much fun. You could also smoke in pubs, and I preferred the set licensing laws, last order 3pm, everyone getting 2more pints in whilst the girlfriends sat in their car outside to give me and my merry mates a lift home. Them were the days before mobile phones, got away with a lot more back then. No texts, or GPS tracking.

Is the above in bold the real issue as opposed to being a sex addict per se??

And your thoughts?
