Sex addiction
Hello I am trying to just open up a bit more about my sex addiction and how I have always used sex as a way to cope with stress and anxiety as well as being bored and depressed and so just trying to be a bit more honest thank you

Hey there! That can't have been easy to open up about, so regardless, I'm proud of you. The first step of trying to improve a problem is always recognizing that the problem exists, and the more willing you are to talk about it, the more willing and able you'll be to engage with it more actively, too 🫂
Hopefully as you reflect on the different ways sex and addiction to it has functioned for you in the past, you can navigate your way to having a healthier relationship with sex in the future. Wishing you the best of luck!
Hi @ServantofYeshua. You are not alone. I know those feelings exactly.
Thank you so much and that is the hardest part about this is feeling alone and even harder to trust people to tell everything to with out feeling like people I don’t want to know knowing and so I keep it all in and it sucks 😂 but thanks you guys
@ServantofYeshua, I am guessing by your screen name there is likely some guilt involved here. This is something I know as well. I work in Ministry and my compulsion and addiction if you want to call it that too sexual acting out is something that brings a lot of guilt. I'm trying to work on a better sexual relationship with my wife to meet her needs as well as that which we can enjoy together. I know very well what you're talking about when anxiety and stress come upon you it makes not the best come out of you.
