okay i understand that this may be wrong to post and if so then please delete it.
i have a problem and it affects all aspects of my life. my close friends that are women are all fun and at times are wonting do have sex with me and otheri things that they have said but when i come out and tell them the truth its almost like i have just hit the start button on a timed bomb. when i come out and tell them that i am a sex addict its like their entire opinion and the way they look at me changes and then they go around teasing me and picking at me. i have gotten to the point where i just want to forget about ever having sex and just go on without these people and start over. i need help any advice would be appreciated.

I don't know how to respond to this unless you elaborated? I was reading your comments on the other thread and just thought I would tell you to be more specific and longer in what you are trying to ask.

It doesn't sound like your friends have any reference points? I'm not sure they take you seriously. Too, they may not know what a sex addict is and are reacting to their imagined idea of what it is. It's a little like if I were to say in this post, "oh, by the way, I think I have two heads". One wouldn't quite know what to do with that information, how that would affect what one has actually experienced of me in the past, what I have to say, etc.
Someone saying they want to sleep with you can just mean they find you attractive and not really have much to do with sex at all so your response, "I'm a sex addict" could seem a little like a non sequitur.

I think some people look at sex as a joke so they can deal with it and the conversations that some times follow... maybe your friends are feeling uncomfortable from their own lack of knowledge in this area.

okay i understand where everyone is coming from. the fact that i told them i was a sex adict isnt what made them change their minds. they are afraid that they will get too attached to me or something.
as for what i am asking is is there any way to get over this addiction or should i just be pround and embrace it to the best of my abitlity and if they cannot accept it then oh well for them its their loss

Dear 92,
I am sorry you are hurting over this compulsive condition which has bc an interference in your life. You state you have a "sex addiction" . Perhaps seeing a therapist, or counselor could help you begin to take steps to overcome your addiction. It may lead to a new life, with you in more control. Holmes |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
