Re: I have a serious sex addiction. - November 12th 2012, 10:50 PM

Hiya, unfortunately I am going to have to be blunt here and say your issues with your dad are no excuse for having the amount of sex you do. Fathers walk out on their children all the time, mine did, but I don't sleep with every guy I see. The good news is that you have recognised you have a problem and want to stop it. That is the first step to stopping any addiction, be it drugs, alcohol, sex etc.

There is no right way of dealing with your cravings for male attention, but here are some suggestions:
. Think about the triggers. What do you do when you want to have sex with someone? How do you try to seduce them? Being aware of what you do when you want to have sex will enable you to mentally pop up a little red flag when the time comes to warn you of what you are doing.
. When the triggers arise try to remember this thread you just posted. Remind yourself that you don't want to be known as a 'slut'. Remind yourself that you lose friends over it. Remind yourself that you are worried about the consequences. Forcing yourself to remember these things should hopefully make you think twice.
. Distract yourself. I'm not sure if it is something you would consider but try watching porn, self pleasure or online sex chat (BE VERY CAREFUL HERE NOT TO GIVE OUT ANY PERSONAL DETAILS). You will get the same satisfaction without the labels.
. Learn to just enjoy the company of males. You don't have to always jump in bed with them. Practice simply spending time with them in public and you will still get the male attention you crave.
. You don't have to give up sex! It's not like alcohol where an alcoholic can never touch another drink again. Just keep it in moderation. If you have sex less often it will be more special and enjoyable when you do have sex.

I hope I helped x
