Answer 2

I am a sex addict, and my name is Ziggy!!
I love sex, and i also find it hard to be with just one person, i always flirt and am always flirted with, so the temptaion is always there and i fall into it, most of the time. I have been told by a few people that i reek of sex, which means i give off a strong sexual vibe, so i guess this is why i have become a sex addict. I have always liked sex and i hope i can keep going strong for many more years!!

Answer 3

I believe that moderation is the key. And my definition of moderation.......is lots of it! (that's supposed to be a joke)
Actually my difinition of addiction, is something that takes over one's life. And that's usually NOT a pleasant feature.
So perhaps some counseling would be of help. Otherwise, only YOU control your addiction, in any way that you feel works for you. And the first step is to WANT to control it.
It's that simple.

Answer 4

i think i am and i want to know the same thing. i think the best way till you can seek help is to keep yourself away from those certain situations and keep away from porn. if youre bad like me, have someone put a block on all porn sites and have them set a password that you dont know. also, have an accountability partner. someone to check on you from day to day and see what youve been doing or not doing. to help keep you away from that stuff. good luck for you and me both!

Answer 5

YES!!!!!!! I can't leave my lass alone. When she is not around, i normally :-watch a porn DVD
look at a porn mag
or the best thing of all use the Internet for all the porn in the world!

Answer 6

Ah, stereotypes. i do unlike them. all of us is all diverse. some men are not constantly questioning approximately intercourse and a few females do think of roughly intercourse lots. From my journey me and my woman friends are larger pervs than our male friends lmao. I even have some friends that detest speaking approximately intercourse love this is a taboo, so yea all of us is diverse. i think of females do think of roughly intercourse greater effective than the stereotype leads you to have self assurance.
