I am addicted to sex, is there any help out there ?

Yes, there is help available if you truly want to stop it.  Counseling is very good for helping you sort out the root causes of your problem and their are some groups like sexaholics anonymous.  There truly is a group called that, but not found in all cities.  Contact a public health department and they can probably guide you to someone or some group that can offer you therapy.  Good luck, if you are serious about it.

first of all, you need to seek professional help for your porn addiction. seriously, that is a major problem. if you have fantasies, tell your husband. he sounds more than willing to help you act those out. if that doesn't help go see a sex therapist. they can give you great suggestions.

The only way to quit sex is resistance. It should be like quiting drugs and other addictions. Find a substitute that you wouldn't find as horrifying as being addicted to sex.

I perfectly understand, and it is not a matter of the year we live on. I know for experience that this can be really hard to manage but you have to realize that the reason why you are not going to have sex is by choice, not prohibition, if you think you are missing something or have such a hurry but dont want to get "punished" or loose privelegies, you have to sit and make a self exam where you can settle the reason. M********* i dont recommend, you'll feel guilty, do some work, exercise, read, get out of bed when you feel like doing it, find out the facts that make you urge... hope this helps

if you "used to be" a sex addict, then it doesn't matter anymore.  overcome it. \n\nbut yeah, it's bad to be addicted, no matter what you are addicted to.  too much of anything is bad.

Yes you are an addict. To realize it is the first step in overcoming it. But really do you want to stop??? Thousands of people are waiting for you to answer their burning questions. THEY NEED YOU MAN! Call in sick and keep going!!!

I just start praying and telling myself truths like the devil is a lier and he is decieving me. Think of all the bad things that can come from it. That is how I get through it. My fiance and I are trying to stop having sex untill marriage because we just recently go back into church. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but don't give up never give up, that is the worst thing you can do. Even if you slip up just keep going and try again.

If you have an addiction to porn, it's more of a mental thing than a sexual problem.  I don't know any websites for you, but all  you really need is someone to talk to about it.  One thing that really helps people is doing something for others, that's always the first line of defense for taking your mind off of your own problems--because no matter how bad off you are in life, there is always someone worse.  \n\nFind a mentor, friend (or even your mom/dad) and get it all in the open.  Getting yourself off of an addiction is never fun, but you'll be glad you did.

Here are a few ideas to ponder:\n\n1. God gave you sexual desires to help in your future marriage and ultimately to glorify Him. The desires aren't bad, but pointed in the wrong direction, as thoughts often are, they become sinful.\n\n2. Treat these desires like the habit of over-eating. The right kind of food is good in moderation, but when you binge or constantly crave food, it becomes your drug or even your god respectively.\n\n3. Think of the particular females who are currently the object of your lust as people who need your unselfish, godly love. Ask yourself what their greatest needs are, and minister to them. I wish I had done the same when I was in your stage in life (not long ago).\n\n4. Since the problem is bigger than you are, don't keep it a total secret. Confide in God and in a friend or two you can trust, who will hold you accountable.\n\n5. Don't just stop thinking about girls and sexual stuff. Replace these thoughts with godly thoughts. Carry around a stack of memory verses, for example.\n\n6. You're already so far ahead of most Christian men your age because even to strangers in this forum, you can express the problem honestly. Way to go, brother!

it's definately recieving more and more recognition as an addiction. its on the level with addiction to porn and other sex industry (strip clubs, phone sex, etc.) i don't think it's quite like sex addiction (most people with sex addiction are chronic masturbators, relate everything to sex, and it is often stemmed from sexual abuse.)\n\ncybersex is very seductive because it is real, yet it is not physical contact. I've been married 7 years, I'm Christian, and adultery is unthinkable to me, in the traditional sense. but i have given in to cybersex. I don't think it's "okay," but I realize it was an easy pit to fall into. and i have talked to people about some WIERD stuff.\n\nif you feel it is a real problem, like if you feel doing it is wrong, or you are doing it too much, or it is interfering with your life or keeping you from having meaningful, real-life relationships, seek help from a professional counselor, or, if possible, discontinue your internet connection for a while, if that is practical.

First, if you can not let it bother you, and channel the energy, and spend the money you would spend on a therapist in gong to bars, meeting people, and getting some, that would be more healthy and fun, if you take precautions. Sometimes therapists work more to get people comfortable than to suggest solutions (I did my first in psychology and second in sociology, studied some of human sexuality and am currently working on Master's in Psychology, human research emphasis, learning and lifelong development my main reading areas). \nPlaying off others:\ntherapists are trained to tease you to solve your own problems, they wont,as such, give you the cure, but will prompt and guide youto find and carrythrough your own solutions (Mr Ben). and the odd one about jam, your @rse, and members of the gay community...I do not think I would care much for that one. My @rse is sweet enough already. I drink tea, all I have to do is tough my index finger to the pot, and I have sweetened the lot!\nI have a high sex drive as well. You may be able to release this energy by everything from shagging any time you can, and wa@nking at any odd moments. \nI know a married man, when he was single he would w@nk three or four times, then hit the bars. His logic: He would last longer with a bird.

I don't know about that, but I'm addicted to masturbation...

Sexual activities as you describe here are an addiction when they harm your social life. It depends on how much time and energy (!) your friends put into it.\n\nIf it harms your relation with you, give him a set time. (e.g.6 weeks?) Reduce the time he spends on his addiction gradually. Go out a lot and do refreshing things like jogging an walking. Reduce the use of coffee and alcohol and fast foods. Explain that sex and love are not the same. If there is no significant change (minimum reduced to 70%) leave him.

I assume you are using porn along with your masturbating. This eventually becomes as addictive and harder to quit    than using cocaine. I strongly suggest seeking professional  help.
