Sex addiction is a myth. change my mind

Lets talk about sex addiction! How exciting!

For the purpose of this post, Sex addiction is defined as : pursuing or thinking about sex or sexual things more than is mentally healthy or to the point where it interferes with regular life and relationships.

My take is, I don't buy it. I don't think an addiction to the point of serious issues is viable and I don't think it should be recognized as a disorder that needs a remedy. I am NOT saying that pursuing sex can't fuck up your life, I'm saying that HOW MUCH sex you have is irrelavant to that. What matters is your mindset towards sex. So if someone has sex with multiple partners multiple times a day, I have no problem with that and think their mental health is fine until proven otherwise. But no matter how much sex you have, that is not a problem you have on its own. In my opinion of course!

I would love to hear y'alls thoughts and expiriences with sex addiction! So please do comment your thoughts!

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    The process and climax of sex hits your brain with dopamine and feel good chemicals. Your brain is already designed to be addicted to these chemicals, as the brain simply won't operate without them. You can't get the same amount or rush of these chemicals by any other means either.
    Now like you said, the sheer amount of sex you have isn't an issue, unless it suddenly stops. You might find yourself looking elsewhere for your next fix. So technically the harmful component is not the sex, but the loss of it that may cause some people to do stupid things.

    Sex addiction is definitely a thing. My ex is addicted to sex and even still tries to get me to have sex with him. It interferes with his life because it is all he thinks about. If it weren't for the fact he continually does this me and him would probably be friends but he won't stop asking me to have sex with him, even when he is with someone else.

      Hes addicted because he wants it a lot, is not justification for an addiction. I would need his perspective to determine if its runining his life because if how much he wants sex. And as I said in the post, how much sex you have is irrelavent, what matters is your mentality towards the sex you have.

      Yeah but 'addiction' in this context denotes a negative effect on the person. And I don't think what you described is negative by default. If thats an addiction than I am also addicted to breathing, eating walking ect.

    OP probably has a sex addiction and is on here seeking reassurance that there's no such thing and that he/she isn't a total whore.

    I believe sex addiction is real because it is a compulsion to keep having sex even when it is negatively affecting your life and using it as an escape from reality.

    This is an interesting topic! The terminology is pretty important in terms of how you define an 'addiction'. But using the definition you provided, I would agree that sex addiction is a myth or at least overhyped. Its such a natural thing for a human to do. Porn is unnatural and porn addiction is a thing in my book.

      Porn addiction is not the same thing. Sex addiction may or may not include masturbating to pornography depending on who you ask.
