Yeah I went to SAA for a while after my rape counsellor suggested it. I agree, it's not the desire for sex which is an addiction, it's how, when, where & with whom it's acted on, which in my case has often been risky and dangerous. I had to stop going because the meetings were too hard to get to from where I live, but I did learn a lot about myself in the group. I just ignore all the god stuff and like all 12 step groups the jargon can be offputting: my favourite piece of idiocy is that they call abstaining from sex because you don't want to get too involved or staying home to avoid temptation being "sexually or socially anorexic".
What didn't you "agree with"? The way the groups run, or that you weren't a sex addict for wanting a lot of sex? I thought the definition of sex addict was similar for other addictions: is it adversely affecting your life in your job, your relationships, your health, your financial situation? Who's in control, you or the addiction?
I definitely don't believe there's anything wrong with wanting lots of sex! Go for it as long as you're not harming yourself or anyone else. Half your luck mate .... I'm being "sexually anorexic" and will probably remain so - hooray for fantasies and sex toys
I agree with most of your comment here, but I am not in liberty to discuss somethings on a public forum. There are somethings which comes as residue of past...anyways good luck to you with your fantasies and sex toys..
IIN that I crave sex almost all my waking hours
