Sex addiction?? What do we know about it? Does it go hand in hand with drug use?

Was wondering what is everyone's insight on sex addiction? How much is too much?
Drug and sex addiction, any relation?

Alot of factors come in to play. Lots of different forms of sex addiction..
"NEEDING" Sex all the time!!
Promiscuity, Mastrebation, pornography.. And the list goes on..
 
AFAIK they don't know for sure what causes sex addiction. It's not involving a substance so there is no physical addiction. Therefore it's mostly psychological. I've read that in some people it develops as a coping mechanism to temporarily escape negative feelings or experiences about life. It's not the same as simply needing sex all the time or thinking about it a lot. It's compulsive, meaning you can't stop yourself. Sex addicts have ruined lives because so much time is dedicated to seeking out and having sex, all because they lack self-control.

There is no such thing as too much sex as long as you can exercise control over whether or not you want to do it. If you're having sex because you don't know how to stop then you might be a sex addict; whereas someone who just has a high libido might have sex often, but they are able to schedule it with their partner(s) in normal ways. A sex addict ends up skipping work, ignoring all other responsibilities, and damaging their social relationships because of their compulsion.

Wiki just told me that it's likely related to OCD. I'm wondering though if it involves the same dopamine dependence as drug use since it does involve a rush.
 
^As Foreigner said, I guess like with all addictions it would entail that you can't control your urges or that you need sexual activity to get by (that's what addiction is after all).
Some drugs (eg. coke or meth, among many others) can make people hypersexual but I wouldn't put those two things in the same box as I see sex addiction as something seperate from the effects of mind-altering substances.
I think a sign is simply if a person starts to feel seriously distraught after not having any sexual activity during a given, short period of time that wouldn't affect other people.
 
I have been researching sexual addictions because I have been labeled a sex addict by none the less but my husband.

I have alway been very sexual and very educated when it comes to human sexuality.. I took several ( not requied for my degree) human sexuality classes at UM. On my spare time I mostly reading sex education books and learning new amazing things that's are bodies can do. I'm defiantly my own ginny pig. Masterbation is very interesting to me. There are pressure point all over the th can o amazing thing.
Sex is the ultimate form of pleaser and relaxation for me. I believe that with kegal excersises, proper method , and practice I have taught myself how to experience the ultimate orgasm. I have Also perfected the art the perfect blow job.. Lol
In the past 2 years it become a little more intense. I desire stimulation a lot more often. I wouldn't consider it a sex addiction, my theory is that I'm sexually peeking. The magnitude of the multiple orasms that I can have In a short period of time can't even be put Into word. So of course who wouldn't wast to have sex more often ?
I really don't consider myself to have a sex addiction. I have a full time carrer, my children, a completely normal social and professional life. I don't go out my way or stop my life or neglect my children because I need to get some.
My husband complains that I require to much ( labido) . I do get a little offended when he hold out on me when I know for a fact that his sexual expirences with me are over the top and he preformes like a young stallion every time.
He acts like a woman in this aspect of the sense.. He want to talk about his day and cuddle and watch tv.. In my case I was him to ram me through the head bord and wake up the whole neighborhood.. Lmao...
He all says that my drug use contributes to my behavior.. I'm a recreational user. I don't use everyday. I see no relation to the two..
so what do you think...?.??? Addict or sexually evolved???

I'd same it's almost exactly the same as some eating disorders, or to a lesser extent, gambling addiction and drug addiction. Food and sex are the most basic things programmed into every animal, so their urges are very ingrained in our subconscious and regular consciousness.

Bad impulse control, possible mental issues, maybe some issues in the past, depends on person. Like I said, basically all the same traits, habits, signs of other addictions like food or gamblng

Some people are addicted to multiple categories, however addictions sometimes run each other out, it's hard to cross categories, sometimes. For example junkies and tweakers in the deep end are basically incapable of sexual arousal and is usually the farthest thing from their mind, not always.. However many drugs in the beginning of addiction heighten and lengthen arousal/sex, but the honeymoon phase never lasts forever
 
thank you for putting "needing" in quotations.

It's teh same - a vice, that overreactive desire, which is people's achilles heels in this sense.

I think they can easily go hand in hand - that impulsive behaviour.

stimulant abuse induces sexual compulsive overload.

coke, meph, meth, ritalin- they're all the same.

you get addicted to the wanking/sex and its a cycle where each bit feeds the cycle.

e.g. wank,line,wank,line,wank,line,wank,line

the same holds true for sex
 
I don't believe for a second they are related. And Mia, you don't sound like a text book definition of a sex addict but truly a sexually energized woman who may be with a mismatched mate, sexually speaking. Consider your age too, you probably are peaking. It probably won't be like this forever. Your mate should really enjoy this while he can!
 
besides a combined drug/sex addiction ala speed and non-stop sex for days there is also sex addiction on its own

both exist
 
my understanding is that the addiction stems from the "high" or endorphin rush resulting from an orgasm

as with any addiction it can stand alone one can be "duel addicted" as they say
 
When I did coke and meth I wanted to have nonstop sex. If I couldn't hook up I would jerk off till I was raw. On opiates I find that the dope is the sex although at times I have had incredible sex with other users.
 
^I feel like when it's because of drugs like that though it doesn't really 'count' as a sex addiction since it's simply a normal physiological reaction to the substances which most people will have. To me it's the same as saying that a heroin user or whatever is anorexic in the emotional/psychological 'I don't want to eat because I don't like how I look' sense, as opposed to the loss of appetite sense.

Almost completey agree.

However, they go hand in hand with some people - the drug just brings out the sex compulsion because their addicting personality is already so loose that they pick up something else when their body goes into overdrive. I once knew this chick he was a bit of a nympho anyways, but when she found meth, she would just fuck and fuck and fuck and fuck and fuck, and draw - everything else disappeared from her life, like family and friends for quite a long time.
 
one on its own is bad, the two together is worse

no way could you have an appetite for sex sober, no matter how addicted you were, that could compare to your sex drive/compulsion on say mdpv or mephedrone.

i have been through a phase of drug free sex addiction which was bad (three different dudes a day every day for a month roughly) but it just isn't the same as being on drugs for days horny constantly. its just not anywhere near as destructive.
 
being addicted to porn/sex is like a bad caffeine addiction. you can't be in/part of society without the constant temptation (coke signs, coffee shops... girls everywhere with the bums and boobies, oh my).

:(
 
I don't think they are related.
I do think that some people are more likely to get addicted to things (in general) than other people. Thus why one person may be a drug addict and a sex addict, because he/she has an addictive personality.
 
I think they are related only in that they are related to reinforcing neural pathways.

That said, I think true sex addiction is very rare. Sex addicts will not only admit to screwing almost anything with a pulse, they'll say things like, "I was still in bed with this guy/girl and I was already thinking about when I'd get the next one." That kind of obsession is something I'm guessing one "addict" in a thousand suffers from.
