Hi all...

I am in a relationship.. a dating relationship. I want it to be more. I really like this guy and we will kiss tonight... It sends butterflies to my stomach when I think of it. I"m excited but very nervous... why?? Because I am a sex addict. That's what makes it tough. I've been checking in with myself but felt that I Needed to do more than that and check in here. so I'll use this to check in after it happens. I do feel aroused when we hug, and I"m sure a kiss will do the same thing. As long as we don't climb in the back seat I think I"ll be okay. Are there any other things that I should look out for??

My advice would be to stay in public places and not go to his house or your house. When I go someplace private, sometimes I end up having sex even if I don't want to and it's not right.

Also, wondering how long you have been seeing this guy. And have you tried a support group for sex addicts? I've heard they can help.

Don’t go to each other house. Go on dates in public places do fun stuff and converse. It slows things down. If he insists on jumping into bed, he is not right person for you.
Thanks for this!

Also remember that addictions are about filling your wants & your feelings.....so when focus goes off getting to know him & onto your own desires that is a red flag you need to pay attention to. That is why staying in public places to start with in the beginning of the relationship is important...it helps you stay focused on getting to know who he really is & what he is like

We have been dating for about 8 days. And all out dates are public. He has said he won't try anything but I don't believe that yet. Although we do share beliefs, but I hope it stays as a good relationship. We did kiss last night and he told me he would keep it PG. I think he got a little aroused. I'm constantly checking in with myself. But I wonder if that's enough. Mist likely not enough.

8 days is nothing. Typically busy adults can’t see each other more than couple of times a week. So you don’t know each other really. Why rush?
Thanks for this!
