Posts: 259Thinking I have a sex addiction
Rolling Cols OH streets for last decade, flee from mundane life usually. Infrequently to celebrate a success tho that is few and far between. Cruised 4 or 5 times a week, at my peak, cause I could, and since chasing women at bars or at dating sites often meant getting strung along for weeks, without a hint of sex from the lady. Streetwalkers can be a sure thing. Tho I'd been ripped off many a time. Now aging and seeing a lesser need to cruise, I think of a bucket list. As if I could actually walk away from the hobby. SW'ers or AMPs. Never got into escorts or strip clubs very much.
Reading "The Seat of the Soul" by ex-Green Beret, Gary Zukav. Is 4 sections, and the 3rd is Responsibility, with chapters of Choice, Addiction, Relationships and Souls. To release an Addiction, one must first admit that there is one. To acknowledge it, is to say that part of our life is out of control. (it is a fine line, requiring each to decide, or continue to run away or minimize a problem) The experience of addictive sexual attraction is an experience of powerlessness, and a desire to feed off a weaker soul. THE WAY OUT of it is to remind yourself when you feel the attraction, you are feeling powerlessness and desiring to prey upon a soul that is weaker than yourself.
Remind yourself that the partner to whom you are drawn (at a mall, bar or streets) is equally drawn to others. Sexual attraction is a weakness detection system. When it locates a person who is weak enough to be susceptible to you, to be seduced by you, it triggers within you the experience of sexual attraction. The need to dominate is the same as the need to be submissive. It is a power to choose. Test your power of choice because each time that you choose otherwise, you disengage the power of your addiction more and more, and increase your personal power more and more. (maybe some of you are already doing this; I tried to quit, pre-covid, but the social isolation had me running to the streets for connection; then it was invaluable; now I have other choices).
Make yourself aware of the consequences of your decisions, upon yourself and upon your finances, mental and emotional health, children or partners, etc. You stand between 2 worlds of your lesser self and your fuller self. Your lesser self tempts you with irresponsibility, unconsciousness and no discipline. Your fuller self is aligned with your non-physical help. The work to be done is yours, but assistance is always there for you in your guides, teachers, mentors, and expansive thoughts. You may hear or feel their guidance, but not be ready to take that step. Your guides do not know time, so they know you will eventually move away from it. At times, there is wisdom in waiting until all of you prepares for the journey away from your addiction. There is no shame in that decision, as the Universe does not judge.
Eventually you will come to authentic empowerment. You will know the power of forgiveness, humbleness, clarity and love. You will evolve beyond the human experience, beyond the learning environment of Earth school. When you die, you leave your personality and your body behind as well as your powerlessness, inadequacies, fears, angers, and time. You will perceive with loving eyes and compassionate understanding the experiences of your life, including those that seemed so much to control you. You will see what purposes they served. You will survey what has been learned and you will bring these things into your next incarnation.

Posts: 165Would mongers be called sex addicts if their $$ well-being is not harmed?
I can understand labeling it a problem if a monger spends $1 million on AMPs over the course of 10-15 years, IF this amount of $$ has a negative effect on their financial well-being. But how about mongers who still have plenty of $$ after fucking about 5000 different AMP girls over the course of 15 years?

For the past year and a half, every time I've came, it's been while high on a substance known for its energizing properties, similar to Adderall, but could lead to a very methed up life if you're not careful.
I've grown addicted to the climax while in that state since I can easily string 4 or more climaxes back to back over the course of 5 minutes. How could I not once I experience that?

Posts: 69Didn't know this section of the forum existed
I hit rock bottom last month. I travelled to Japan and saw providers who were 19 to 23 years old at legal a legal establishment. At first, I felt like the luckiest man. Wow, I have the time and resources now to travel to see providers across the world. I'm in my 30's, so the fact that I was in a room with a much younger woman felt like a dream initially. Typically younger providers in the USA are addicted to something or in bad mental shape.
While having sex, I kept thinking about the reasons why women aged 19-23 would even partake in this world. They even allowed video recording for extra money, which I declined. Digital footprint is real, and I was surprised that they would even allow that kind of option. Some of their eyes had signs of emotional detachment. In a weird way, I felt a connection despite the language barrier. I did not have the happiest childhood and remember a lot of my youth crying from abuse. I don't blame my parent anymore, but I forgave them after I began seeing sex workers. My trip wasn't exclusively for sex, so I spent a lot of my time roaming Japan thinking about my life and how it ended up this way. I don't want pity because I am in a good place financially. The fact that I am able to travel for fun alone screams privilege.
Of course I like having sex, but I find a lot of enjoyment just talking about vulnerable topics while cuddling with sex workers. My friends think I'm some sort of outstanding guy with morals. It kills me deep down every time someone compliments me for being a good person.
Feel like I'm trapped. I put on a fake persona when meeting up with friends. I end dates with women early when they start poking around my past. No one knows about my sex addiction and I plan to keep it that way.
Just wanted to write this down somewhere. Feels nice to admit being a sex addict. Even on a sex forum.

Posts: 695It's too complicated to even try
I have been a sex addict most of my life. I have also always had a need to take care of people who I care about. Something is screwy in me for sure. I don't know what. 30 years ago I gave up alcohol and all drugs. And to top it all off, I have a pretty crappy life. But, I have a little money and all I know is that when I am having sex, all that other stuff and stress go away. So I chase. I am older and more mature. I know much of this problem stems from my personal insecurity. I don't really know what to do about it and if I did, I'm not sure I would do it. I do know that sex takes me away. And it makes my life better for that hour. And then some. For a guy like me, who's home life reality is pretty bad, that's something. I am now a care taker for a sick spouse. But, as other posters have pointed out, I view women everywhere as a source of an escape. Doesn't matter where I am, I undress them in my mind. It truly is exhausting and far from the way most men without this affliction live their life.
I would rather not be a sex addict. But, given the choice of Alcoholic, drug addict or anything having to do with kids, I'd rather be what I am. I work hard, take care of my family financially, I love them. And they know it but, I have secret life that I am pretty ashamed of.

I suffer the same thing especially comparing and checking out women in public to the extent that I believe it goes beyond normal behavior. The comparing is terrible because there is no end. I currently see an escort who looks like a model and I still think to myself it's not good enough, what's next, can I fuck a hotter woman? Now imagine what this does to your partner, a person who loves you.
Then there's going to strip clubs and seeing the old men who still are there. To me it's sad, and it's like a gambling or drug addict that never quit.
I've tried many things, counseling, organized religion, retreats, and some have worked for a while but so still have not stopped. I wish you the best my man in this.

And I'll weaponize all of that imagery to compare random women to my wife, or store it for a jerk session, or worse it'll feed my desire to let it off with a worker. There are so many subtle parts of this addiction that are easy to ignore which is makes it so difficult to escape. Re-wiring myself and making a lasting change of personality is going to be hard and I'm quite scared. I keep wanting to convince myself that I'm simply not ready. But if I don't start down the path of quitting, this motherfucker will take me down and completely fracture and devestate my wife and family.

Posts: 121At least we admit it
Which is the first step. I used to think that all this was harmless because I'm just a normal man with a high sex drive right. It is far from harmless and I'm coming to the conclusion that you can get sucked in too deep and ruin yourself, your family, and your reputation. I also fluctuate between this is normal to this is fucked up. Slowly I'm coming to terms with why I do this and the traumas of the past. Same with any woman in this industry, do you think a normal woman with a healthy loving family would do this? That's why when you hear their stories it's usually a train wreck. But yes getting out for good is hard.

I deserve better in my life and I'm a better person than this. I know relapse is possible and I'm aware that I'll eventually reach a baseline where I'm not feeling so introspective and I'll want to fuck a random woman again. The psychological roller coaster is, and has been, something else. If you're religious, please pray for me and I'll do the same for you and for all of us.

I befriended a couple members from the board whom I felt I could trust and was regularly in touch with them for a time. We tried to hold each other accountable and be each others' sounding boards since we could relate to each others' experiences and not be judgmental, but its been a while since we last talked. I will say that there are options. I've learned that its very difficult to escape addiction and that is a scary notion. I don't want to know how far this road goes and where it leads because I doubt its anywhere good.

Posts: 480I can relate
I can relate to a lot of what you and the last couple guys have said. I alternate between the "I'm a man and I have needs" type of thing and having that sense of emptiness or dread. The dread being that I've been doing this for most of the past 12 years and that no winning streak lasts forever. The more I do it and the longer I'm in the game, more opportunities arise for something to go really wrong like catching a disease, getting robbed, getting stabbed, being spotted by someone I know, etc and that it will happen when I least expect it.
I hope to someday get action again because of real attraction and not because of the benjamins in my pocket. But I'm getting older and that window will be closing soon.
Meanwhile, I will go back and forth between playing the game when I can't stand the dry spells anymore and sitting out to minimize my risk and the dent in my wallet.
Stay safe out there.
