Sex Addiction

Insightful breakdown of Dick:

For the Ladies: Do you like a uncircumsized cock?
Just curious of the different types of dick women like.

Is it possible for women to get "the Wandering Orgasm"?
Okay, so everyone has heard the story when men drink whiskey and then have sex, they get what people call the Whiskey Dick. For those of you who don't

What's the Firmest Stroker?
I am looking for the firmest, hardest stroker I can get. I have a small dick and find that squishy toys REALLY don't work great for me, but the harder

Hetero Couples -do you practice pegging(gal on guy strap on sex)?
My wife pegs me about once a week-fantastic. Nothing gay about this. I love her to fuck me, but never would allow a real dick in my ass.

Hmmm - addicted to coffee, obsessed with sex.

I'm with Sammi!

HAHAHA!!! Tea for me.

I don't find sex to be an addiction, though. You can never have too many good things! There's nothing wrong with enjoying what you do every minute of your life.

I just glanced at it but must say I agree.

I say you can be addicted to anything, depending on what you use it for and if you continue to "practice" said addition in the fact of consequences for yourself and the relationships you have with loved ones. It's a matter of wanting the feeling you get or the escape you achieve from whatever "addiction" you are using more than you want to take care of yourself or maintain your relationships.


That said, I don't think you can be physically addicted to just anything; I don't think you can be physically addicted to sex.

Ok, going back and finishing Dr. Dick's article, which I have to admit I did not do before I posted, I do see his point.

If the definition of addiction requires both the physical and emotional dependency components to be an addiction, then no, I suppose you can't be addicted to sex.

I still say you can become dependent, emotionally, on just about anything, including sex, but apparently that's classified by a different term than addiction.

I can agree with this, absolutely. But at the same time, it almost minimizes the power and control someone can given up to such an obsession to not be calling it an addiction.

Dunno. There are an awful lot of doctors and scholars that will disagree with this dude. Addiction doesn't have to include a physical dependence. There a plenty of drugs that you can abuse and become addicted to without forming a chemical dependence, for example, and no one says "you're totally obsessed with (insert drug name here)."

I have a hard time believing there is such a thing. I'd agree with compulsions as also showing up in sexual behavior but addiction no. Things like sex, food, ect....all can impact one's life negatively if abused, but sex, food, and other similar things don't impact the brain chemistry in the same way that drugs like meth, coke, alcohol do (if memory serves). Real addiction rewires the brain, temporal medial forbrain i think....My biggest issue with sx addiction is that it's partially a get out of jail free card for ones choices in our culture, was developed by addictionologiests rather than sex therapists, and is quite shaming.

If I were addicted to food, learned how to control my eating habits and improved my body image, would I always have to call my self anorexic? Sex is just so much more multifaceted and complex ..that to call it an addiction, to me, does more harm than good.....and is a way to make money around behaviors that are, for the most part, fairly common in our society and don't lead to impairment in daily functioning.

Hope I'm not offending anyone. I just get feisty with this as people seem to be calling themselves sex addicts all the time now, and it's not even a definition in the DSM (not that the dsm is all that great).
