Ok, I'm sitting here new to this site and I saw this forum, and I have a question, I believe it is a question, is it wrong to "crave" sex, and once the craving is gone or been delt with in a sexual manor, I feel like crap. I keep thinking why did I do this? But I do it all the time. I feel like a *****, well I don't do it with everyone despite what you may have gathered from what I just said. I crave sex then do something, then feel like crap for a while after then, it happens all over agian...

Well, sex is sort of like that...you get all excited and have this big blast of neurochemicals and then...well, thud, that's all, folks. But a lot of people just feel a kind of pleasant relaxed "coming down" afterward. You may have some issues about guilt mixed in with sex...did you get messages growing up that sex was a bad thing?

Maybe talking the feelings through with a therapist would help. You might just need to become more comfortable with your sexual self, who at the moment might seem kind of alien. As in, you finish and think "Who WAS that person I just was, anyway...?"

From my own past experience I would say that it is possible that you are using sex to numb/feed a deep emotional wound and you will keep repeating this cycle until you locate and heal the wound. ((( hugs )))

No, it's not wrong to crave sex. Sex is addictive-it's so pleasureable. But you have to be safe. Your body, emotions and sexuality have to be safe, as well as those of the other person. If all that is taken care of it's not at all bad to crave sex. I wish i did. I'm the opposite.

I agree, it is not wrong to crave sex, it is a natural human desire, but it can also be a big red flashing signal that some thing is wrong emotionally if you are feeling like crap after the pleasure is over.... please look with in yourself and see what you are using to the sexual pleasure to numb or cover up.

Layman's Term:
You are using Sex as a Drug - to hide the pain / wound... and once the drug is over you need more.

I tend to be the same way, but with masturbation (as I am single).

I feel a rush whilst doing it, but get really down and upset once I am done.

I went through a time when I would masturbate, and then after I had an orgasm, I suddenly got all depressed and would start crying. I remember telling someone about it, and he didn't believe me, because orgasms feel good, so how can you feel depressed afterwards?

It passed, by the way. So maybe it's only a temporary thing for you.
