This is a joke......right?

This is a joke......right?

Sounds serious to me.

Couple of days back there was the thread about finding a libido enhancer.

Grass is always greener on the other side.

Buzzcocks said it the best:

well you tried it just for once found it all right for kicks.

but now you found out that it's a habit that sticks.

and you're an orgasm addict

I can't believe someone would set up a group like that HERE...surely the first step would be to move FAR AWAY from LoS

well I hope it's not a mixed gender group- the mind boggles.

Is it "Self Help" Therapy ?

If so I am not interested

Sex addiction is, like any addiction, not something to laugh about; it's quite a serious matter actually:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_addiction

http://saa-recovery.org/

Behaviors associated with sexual addiction include:

* Compulsive masturbation (self-stimulation)

* Multiple affairs (extra-marital affairs)

* Multiple or anonymous sexual partners and/or one-night stands

* Consistent use of pornography

* Unsafe sex

* Phone or computer sex (cybersex)

* Prostitution or use of prostitutes

* Exhibitionism

* Obsessive dating through personal ads

* Voyeurism (watching others) and/or stalking

* Sexual harassment

* Molestation/rape

I know someone who is a sex addict; he's married and has three daughters. He's a nightmare to his wife and children....

He's so addicted he doesn't (want to) see it or seek for help.

I'll spare you the details but it's not funny.

A Useful Tool for Self-Assessment

Answer these twelve questions to assess whether you may have a problem with sexual addiction.

1. Do you keep secrets about your sexual or romantic activities from those important to you? Do you lead a double life?

2. Have your needs driven you to have sex in places or situations or with people you would not normally choose?

3. Do you find yourself looking for sexually arousing articles or scenes in newspapers, magazines, or other media?

4. Do you find that romantic or sexual fantasies interfere with your relationships or are preventing you from facing problems?

5. Do you frequently want to get away from a sex partner after having sex? Do you frequently feel remorse, shame, or guilt after a sexual encounter?

6. Do you feel shame about your body or your sexuality, such that you avoid touching your body or engaging in sexual relationships? Do you fear that you have no sexual feelings, that you are asexual?

7. Does each new relationship continue to have the same destructive patterns which prompted you to leave the last relationship?

8. Is it taking more variety and frequency of sexual and romantic activities than previously to bring the same levels of excitement and relief?

9. Have you ever been arrested or are you in danger of being arrested because of your practices of voyeurism, exhibitionism, prostitution, sex with minors, indecent phone calls, etc.?

10. Does your pursuit of sex or romantic relationships interfere with your spiritual beliefs or development?

11. Do your sexual activities include the risk, threat, or reality of disease, pregnancy, coercion, or violence?

12. Has your sexual or romantic behavior ever left you feeling hopeless, alienated from others, or suicidal?

If you answered yes to more than one of these questions, we would encourage you to seek out additional literature as a resource or to attend an Sex Addicts Anonymous meeting to further assess your needs.

Having sex is normal everyone does it, but if your a pedophile or likes animals then i think you would need some serious help, nothing wrong with masterbating or have sex everyday, its your private life why would you want to share that with someone????

[DragonQuest]

ok I am a sex addict Ive answered yes for over 3 questions already does that mean I'm a bad guy? does that mean I need help?? not, but I think thats just part of life and everyone will experience a few of those questions at one point of their life or another.

I agree. I'm sorry that I posted those quite moralistic questions from the SAA...I didn't even read them until now. Sorry.

Mea Culpa.

Note: a real sexual addict does have a problem; If and when one has such a problem I suppose he/she knows it......as does the partner.

There was a SAA group in Bangkok a few years back at Soi 33 Sukhumvit I think.

I think the vast majority of men in the world would answer yes to at least 2 of the questions above

The men in Pattaya. Pattaya is bound to have a very large %age of sex addicts.

[onomataho]

Everyone has problems. It's when their problems are projected onto others that there is a real problem.

If all people were well-behaved and perfect...Life would be boring.

That's why I live in Thailand...it's rarely boring!

What about starting Internet forum addicts anonymous?

dam_n, seems I am an incorrigble sex addict. As a father I guess I failed #11. \

Do your sexual activities include the risk, threat, or reality of pregnancy, blah, blah?

[Neeranam]

Most sex addicts live in denial of their addiction, and treating an addiction is dependent on the person accepting and admitting that he or she has a problem.

[Sheryl]

A number of unhelpful derogatory posts deleted.

There is, in fact, a bona fide 12 step program called "Sex Addicts Anonymous".

Presumably those who join it are people who find that there is a compulsive aspect to their sexual behavior which causes problems in their lives.

Anyone interested should PM the OP.
