Hi So Fragile 88,

My concern in reading this post is that you are "ashamed", "didn't enjoy it", and have put your health at risk. While these are all characteristics of Hypersexuality or sex addiction, I would be weary to assign a label of sex addict. Sex can be used, similar to drugs, as an escape or to fulfill emotional needs, and so I would wonder what function sex is fulfilling for you?

I recommend looking at Kelly McDaniel's book "Ready To Heal: Women Facing Love, Sex and Relationship Addiction." Additionally, I hope that you have a trusting relationship with your current therapist in which you feel comfortable discussing your current sexual concerns.
