The proponents of the idea of sex addiction are either authors of books pushing the idea, or operators of sex addiction clinics/practices.

While there is some evidence of sexual compulsivity (as a unique/separate construct,) there is no evidence as to the mechanism, impulsive/compulsive or addictive (neurologically or behaviorally even!) There is also controversy about its connection to disorders like ADHD.

What does all this mean? Forget the label itself and focus on the impact it has on your life. I kind of agree that marriage might not fit, and be more careful with protection.
That's good to know. I don't really feel addicted tbh. I just feel like I like to have sex a lot. But I can have one person that I get that from. I can be attracted to someone and control the impulse not do anything about it as long as I have someone else is in my life.

Yeah I never felt I really believed in marriage for myself.

I've been safe. I wouldn't have unsafe sex and stay married to my wife. For the small chance of things ever get back to how they used to be. I wouldn't put her at risk like that.
