Mental health awareness is key.

I admit that I really enjoy good sex?
I don't really care about looks or body types.

I’ve been diagnosed with hypersexuality many years ago, and for a time was medicated and in therapy. I was so miserable and lethargic until I took myself of the meds. Sex is my elixir, and a big part of why it was hard for me to keep a lasting relationship. Not because of infidelity, but more because of my needs. I’ve found solice in the provider space and why for me this is a lifestyle and not a hobby. I hate being called a Hobbiest, this isn’t a hobby for me, and over the years I’ve managed a few social relationships with some of the providers and even their families. Strange I, know, but it speaks to the type of individual I am.

I wish I had the recovery and sex drive that I did in my 20s. While having the money and time I do now. But I’m trying as hard as I can to be one 😂  

I realize I'm proudly perverted & sex addict. It's okay. The first step is denial. I am fully aware. 😆

Haha isn’t that a river in Egypt.

Sex addict? Dunno. When I got into this hobby last fall, I hadn't had physical sex for over a decade.

I've been "diagnosed" as hypersexual, then as a sex addict - both by Christian, male therapists 🙄  In my early 30's, I even did a 12 Step program for sex addicts - learned a ton about codependence/healthy boundaries/etc but it also fucked up my mental health/relationship concepts for a few years [religious crap], but came to understand that I'm NOT/HAVEN'T BEEN an "addict".  
.
Since then, I've accepted that even though it flies in the face of patriarchal social programming, I'm absolutely NOT a vanilla, monogamous person. Yes, I've done it. I'm capable of it. I just hit a wall after a certain point and my mental health crashes because it's just not the whole of who I am as a person. I'm a high sex drive fraysexual, without a jealous bone in my body, who has an intense compersion drive and deep fascination with others, plus a handful of kinks that all deserve to get taken out for a spin now and then... that's a good thing😇  
.
I've come to view my "sex" as my art (not limited to the physical act, but the mental, emotional and psychological aspects that the physical intimacy allows for). If I sang, danced, wrote poetry or prose, sculpted, arranged flowers, designed clothes or spaces or any other socially acceptable form of "art making" with the same outcome as my "love making", I'd be be a household name and filthy fucking rich. No cap. But because my art is illicit... I'm here boring y'all with wordy posts, clumsy ads and silly selfies. 🤪  😘

sex is probably the most benign, but that does not mean that it is necessarily healthy.

.....clinically, there seems to be a big difference between the sexaholic and one who is a sex addict or hypersexual.   Primarily, the sexaholic would be affected by compulsive need that will lead to a pattern of self destruction.  

I mentioned Joe Namath having sex the night before winning Super Bowl III. Now I can mention that Wade Boggs, Boston Red Sox third baseman, got caught as a philanderer and confessed to being a sex addict on one or more talk shows (Oprah? Springer? I forget which ones.).

Everyone on here is a sex addict, whether they admit it or not.
