I'm a sex addict and I believe that people use this term far too often about people who aren´t even close to being addicts.
That's why I disliked the comment Rose made.
I can understand that. I find it interesting that you say that but don't find it a problem. Are you sure you're a sex addict? Does it interfere with all the other aspects of your life, like inability to work or keep a job because of it? Does your life revolve around sex or are you a functional citizen?
Well, my most recent ex dumped me because of it. (I'm a girl and I dated a boy btw) When I get denied sex I get sad and angry.
I require 1-3 times per day to be fully satisfied if I'm in the company of someone. When I get involved in a sexual activity it's easy for me to loose my judgement and "forget" protection and the likes.
I'd however NEVER cheat. If I'm unhappy, I leave. I think about sex/sexual activities basically 24/7 and enjoy masturbation in most places- In spite of this I would label myself functional, I don't hurt people nor myself.
How functional? Do you work? Spend time with family and friends, watch a movie, read a book, study? If it's 24/7 it sounds like a compulsion. Sometimes sex addiction is associated with a personality disorder. Can you tell if that's the case?
Oh, and hurting yourself is not just inflicting any kind of pain. Not caring for yourself, your future and things like that can be considered harm.
Studying atm. I will admit that I would probably have skipped some classes already to stay with the guy I'm seeing, had it not been for the fact that he tells me to go. Yeah, its at least at the back of my mind 24/7 so to speak. I got ADHD so it wouldn't surprise me if it's combined.
I know, I do care for the future and this is why I have stopped putting myself in situations where I can loose judgement. (Had a period where I went swinging with an old FwB)
Basically trying to improve my grades since I have failed Math twice already. I have such an issue with that subject ... The plan is to become a sexologist unless anything else happens during these seven years that this will prolong.
Is it normal that my husband watches porn?

I don't think I'm a sex addict but I think about it all the time. I enjoy sex a lot. I hope I always will!

Good for you that you're studying! What do you go to school for? It's nice that your guy encourages you to to what is right (IMHO) :)
