It's also the only thing I'm really interested in doing.. like I'm currently very focused on finding someone to hang out and cuddle/have sex with. I'm not sure if it's a sex addiction (although I am very sexual and can be very impulsive with it) and I haven't talked to my therapist about it either.. I just file it under debauchery and y'know it is a pretty good way to alleviate depression.. getting those neurochemicals and all.. not saying it's healthy. But I understand. ((((hugs))))

Oh thank you for posting. That makes me feel a little better that someone else gets what I'm feeling and has felt it too.
Does it bother you, feeling like you need that touch so much?
I am bothered by it because I don't understand it and feel it's not healthy, or effective, but honestly if I actually HAD that touch that I crave, my concern would go to the back burner, because I'd be getting what I want so why not enjoy it instead of be concerned? It's just that for me, sex often sort of feels like it's few and far between, or even if it's more or less regular (like once a week, which is still not enough), I often still won't get enough touch, because they won't touch me very much or for very long when we're not having sex.
If I was getting enough touch then I wouldn't be very bothered. But when I don't it just hurts and I get upset for not having it, and that's when it feels like it is a problem to me.
