here is where I get flamed......

according to the test on this site, I am not addicted.
personal feelings, I might be addicted.

in my case, I have always thought I was addicted to sex. and since I did not want to be a sexual preditor I turned to masturbation. after awhile that wasn't enough. so I turned to porn to masturbate to. fast forward many many years. am I addicted to sex and use porn/masturbation to control it? am I addicted to porn because it gets me exited? or am I addicted to masturbation and use porn to make it happen? at this point I do not know any more.

the point of all this is to ( I hope) give you all a little understanding of the other side.
every bit of advice you got on the last 3 pages I encourage you to act upon. that being said speaking strictly for myself porn is made for one purpose and one purpose only, to tittelate the male of the species. to put it more simply.....

eye candy designed to make that member stand at attention and beg for release.

as men are visual, and women are more intellectual/emotional about sex for a man seeing is doing. why else do you think men of all kinds gravitate to the attrictive woman in the crowd. it is the fantasy, the raw lust. that is what porn gives me, and my outlet for myself is masturbation.

when I got married this last time she knew that I wached it and relieved my self. and as she is one of those women that does not want to have sex she told me (before we married) she would allow me to continue. I don't flaunt it, but I don't hide it either.

as a result of what I consider my addiction I have not had sex for over 10 years which is very difficult for someone like me who has been proven to be oversexed.

the moral of this tale is this: "IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT!"
you are right to be concerned, but please take everyones advice and look after yourself first! then if there is anything left, you can think about your significant other.

(man that was hard to admit, and also the first time I have told anyone the how and why of my tightly controlled way to avoid becoming a sexual preditor. my desire (unreasonable drive) is to have as much sex as possible. the roots go a lot deeper, but that is a story for another time. is this way of controlling it destructive to me? most likely, but it does "keep me off the streets" where I have to control my self. (I have such tight control that I will not even speak to a woman unless she addresses me first.))
