I am 34 years old and Newly Engaged. Also suffering from Bipolar disorder, PTSD, and recently diagnosed as a *Sex Addict* My fiancee claims he cannot keep up and tries to be understanding at times with my never ending cravings, but as of late he is growing frustrated. At the advice my Therapist I am trying more Masturbation and Porn to satisfy myself. But that only helps for short (very short) periods of time. He claims that is *Unholy* and a *Sin* yes he is very much into church & God. Anyway, I am so confused on what to do to please myself as well as him and our relationship. God knows I don't want to Cheat, but I am afraid it may happen IF he cannot keep up with my needs. Please Help!!!

First you have to decide what is more important, your relationship or sex. As a recovering sex addict I have had to make that choice. Believe it or not sex is a choice. Check into Sex Addicts Anonymous. It's a great source of information and help. I would suggest that you not get married until you work this out. It would only make matters worse. By experience, I would suggest that you not cheat. If you have to have sex with someone else break it off with you fiance. It is only fair.

Thanks so much, I will definitely check into that and the last thing I want to do is mess up this Relationship. I am just afraid I will anyway.

Marriage is about compatibility and compromise. Are you sure you are ready?

I am in a sexless marriage and have not had sex with my husband in about 17 years (yes years). My advice is to get help before you get married. As far as never ending cravings sometimes you have to set your mind on something else. Focus on something positive.

Have you always been unsatisfied in previous relationships? How often do you want sex?

If I had known my husband was going to stop all forms of intimacy I would have never married him.

been two years for me...a rx drug issue...we keep trying but mostly have just accepted it,,,but the marriage is strong..marriage is working thru issues,, if the hypersexuality was present premarriage would really suggest waiting,, also hyperreligious is also a reason to reconsider...just my opinion
