Sexual Addiction

[BigJohn1196]

Me thinks no. Age doesn't cure addictions. I'm 52 now and it has gotten worse and at least one of my friends is in his mid sixties and no signs of slowing down. Why the fuss anyway? Pussy is for fun, as much and as often as you like. Just add more other pleasures to your life as well and I'm sure that feeling of emptiness goes by.

I am in my seventies and the sex drive is as high as it ever was. Perhaps one does not cum as often but the pleasures of sex rank really high. Women have menopause and in a different way men do. It just is a more gradual decline. One can decrease the rate of aging with a good sex life to maintain those rampant hormones.

Likely by the time you hit 60, you will be over it

well i think i am a sex addict. i think about sez 24/7 and spend a ton of money on hookers. i moved to a different city to have easier access to paid sex. i keep paying for sex even though i want to stop, i can't stop.

not sure what to do, i am only 26 but i just want to fuck hot women. paid sex is so easy and the women so hot and slutty, that's my thing. not sure if i can ever be normal ie a girlfriend, not sure after all this paid sex if i could just drop it.

compared to a lot of other vices, i don't find p4p to be that bad. as long as it's not disrupting your professional life and finances, i don't see a problem with it.

in my case, if i didn't bang hookers, i would live a life that even a mormon missionary would find boring. i don't do drugs, rarely drink, don't gamble anymore, so p4p is really the only "exciting" thing in my life, the only thing that gets my juices flowing, so to speak.

if paying for pussy is the worst thing you do, be thankful. i had friends in my 20s destroy their lives with drugs and alcohol. now that i'm in my 30s, the rest of my friends are getting screwed by their ex-wives, or stuck in dead end, miserable jobs. be thankful you have none of these problems.

There is quite a lot of neuroscience published in the last five years confirming that internet porn is an addiction, that causes erectile dysfunction in young males and other symptoms misdiagnosed as social anxiety, ADHD or other disorders. This talk summarizes the research:

The main web site (yourbrainonporn. Com) has a variety of other interesting material you can read. Especially interesting are the stories of men who have given up all internet porn and masturbation and report significant improvement in their sex lives and overall motivation and well-being. Food for thought.

I didn't mean porn in my question about ISG, in fact, if one's interested in porn, there are a lot of other places where one can find free porn.

You are supposed to feel vacuous and empty after busting your nuts! There is no higher plane of enlightenment or extra-dimensional experience obtained through the biological function of expelling your semen. The sensation of being physically and spiritually spent after ejaculating your currency, and losing your precious bodily fluids, is completely normal in the mongering profession.

I don't think he meant physically or even intellectually, I think he meant emotionally.

[Member #4244]

I have been a prolific *****mongerer since the age of 13 and have bedded 1000+ women but now I am thinking of taking a break. The whole exercise of mongering seems to be so vacuous & vapid. It's like going thru the motions. I feel empty & pointless after banging a working girl. No new value or enjoyment is really derived. I might take a break and try some intellectual engagement / dating some women. There has got to be more to life than humping women and getting high. At least I really hope there is. I might even become asexual and abstain for a while. Civilian or professional, pussy is just pussy ultimately. I have a high level of skepticism as to whether the dating thing can ever work for people like us who've been to the other side and experienced great pleasure and variety. /rant

Hey man, I totally understand where you are coming from. Maybe it's a different level but I've had very similar feelings. For me they are satiated when I have some pros or non pro fuck buddies who are my friends. There is no pressure of an actual relationship but there is mutual emotion, caring, chemistry, etc. If I don't have that, I go nuts. If it is just a string of faceless pussies, it gets boring so fast. You also mentioned getting high, well whatever drug it is it's always an escape from the world and it all feels just a little more foreign when you get back, right? Same thing with pros vs dating. You start going out with a woman and you're thinking, fuck, I a spending this time on money that I could be spending cutting straight to the fucking chase.

That said, it's not hopeless. Try dating, look for people who are not cold calls, girls you meet organically. Make a pact with yourself not to *push hard* to sleep with them. You've been sleeping with girls as soon as you met them, how's that going? Try engaging intellectually first. If that doesn't work, here is another suggestion, try having two sets of female friends. One that is a set to fuck and suck, and one that is strictly based on shared interests, common personality traits, etc. I find this serves me very, very well. Many of my best friends are women and unlike when I was younger, I never had any intention of sleeping with them.

Lastly, if you're thinking "there's more to life," well, there is. With anything-prosties, dope, being heavily infatuated with a woman, masochism, sadism, etc-you get caught up in these rushes that become compulsions. Honestly of them I think being in the early stages of being in love is probably the strongest and most detaching, though I've never been a heroin addict LOL. These things disconnect you from life's simple pleasures and the satisfaction of working hard in order to see something through.

So, if you do take a break from sex, drugs or both, make sure your time is filled with some productive that you enjoy. If you just sit around depriving yourself, you will be miserable and probably better off once you (quickly) slide back into your old habits. Cheers and good luck.

So would checking this ISG forum every five minutes considered sexual addiction?

No seriously. What's the threshold between normal use and abuse in your view?

[Hairy Wonder]

According to this article, sexual intercourse is not only fun and good exercise, it also improves your immune system.

So I think governments around the world should promote sex, rather than trying to prevent it.

More sex= healthier people!

Symptoms of Sexual Addiction.

No such thing as sexual addiction. What next? Will there be something called "breathing addiction?" Symptoms include always trying to inhale deeply, breathing through mouth even though sufficient to just breath through nostrils.

Symptoms of Sexual Addiction.

By Michael Herkov, PH. D.

While there is no official diagnosis for sex addiction, clinicians and researchers have attempted to define the disorder using criteria based on chemical dependency literature. They include:

Frequently engaging in more sex and with more partners than intended.

Being preoccupied with or persistently craving sex; wanting to cut down and unsuccessfully attempting to limit sexual activity.

Thinking of sex to the detriment of other activities or continually engaging in excessive sexual practices despite a desire to stop.

Spending considerable time in activities related to sex, such as cruising for partners or spending hours online visiting pornographic Web sites.

Neglecting obligations such as work, school or family in pursuit of sex.

Continually engaging in the sexual behavior despite negative consequences, such as broken relationships or potential health risks.

Escalating scope or frequency of sexual activity to achieve the desired effect, such as more frequent visits to prostitutes or more sex partners.

Feeling irritable when unable to engage in the desired behavior.

[Double Shooter]

Latin proverb: After sexual intercourse every animal is sad, except the cock (rooster) and the woman.

Hehehe that's why the French call it "la petite mort"
