Psychologists don't agree that the the condition even exists. If it does, I think that I might have it. On the other hand, do a google search for 'pornography public library' to see just how many men have poor risk assessment when it comes to sex.

At any rate, I'm not convinced that 'suffer' is the right word.

Well, I have always had the do it 100% or don't do it at all attitude. I triple check myself at work. I know the timing between the traffic lights on my way there so I never have to hit the breaks in my car!
At a pretty young age, I learned all about drugs, and I applied the same 100% attitude.  That world sucked me in because I was a kid, and the people that I was around loved the fact that this kid could rip lines with 30 year olds. I actually outgrew the whole thing, and became obsessed with working out.
I quit everything, changed my diet, and joined an expensive gym. Then I spent all my money on shakes, and supplements. Its a good thing I couldn't get steroids, because I probably would have taken them.
After that, I got a job as a bartender. Thus becoming a professional drinker.
I will never forget the day I quit.
The night before, I took a girl home that closed the bar.(She was so drunk she didn't realize we were closing) On the walk to my place, she threw up at least twice without stopping talking, or walking. I had a moment of clarity when we got to my door. Called her a cab, and quit the next day.
Now I have a job that is perfect for my workaholic tendencies.
The hobby is also a perfect addiction.
I'll explain why...
I would never think of using drugs again... I need to save money to hobby.
I don't get super drunk anymore....  What if an ATF calls me out of the blue?
I take better care of myself in general, because I want to look my best for my next experience.
I know about my weakness, and do my best to use it to help me.

  Satyriasis for males and nymphomania for females, and “Excessive Masturbation = Hypersexuality 

Hypersexuality Definition:

Hypersexuality is extremely frequent or suddenly increased sexual urges or sexual activity. Hypersexuality is typically associated with lowered sexual inhibitions. Although hypersexuality can be caused by some medical conditions or medications, in most cases the cause is unknown. Medical conditions such as bipolar disorders can give rise to hypersexuality, and alcohol and some drugs can affect social and sexual inhibitions in some people. A number of theoretical models have been used to explain or treat hypersexuality.

Some authors have questioned whether it makes sense to discuss hypersexuality at all, arguing that extreme sexual urges merely stigmatize persons who do not conform to the norms of their culture or peer group

The number of people who are hypersexual, or believe that they are hypersexual, is unknown. Although several estimates have been published, it is not clear on what basis they were made. The estimates asserted are usually 3–6%.
Many proposed definitions of hypersexuality are relative to cultural or peer group norms. Surveys of "convenience samples" suggest that 3–5% of high school or college age males masturbate on a daily basis. In the Kinsey studies, 7.6% of males engaged in some sexual behavior leading to orgasm (masturbation, sexual intercourse, oral sex, etc.) on a daily basis or more. In the Laumann study (a large-scale representative survey of sexual behavior), 1.9% of men ages 18–59 masturbated daily, and 1.2% masturbated more than once per day.


Wikipedia

I have a hard time believing that only 3 - 5 percent of high school or college age males masturbate on a daily basis.  I'd guess it is at least 50 percent.  And 1.2 percent of men aged 18 - 59  is useless because of the wide age difference.

I have an addictive personality as well and it's VERY evident when dealing with men.  I used to like guys a lot when I was younger and well, that hasn't abated one bit during my adulthood.

But when someone asks me about sexual addiction and the sort, I have problems with that being a real affliction.

With men, it's a natural state of being (or at least I like it) for them to be rutting animals.  I adore that!

And I would like to personally thank macdaddy1944 for giving me a word to look up today!  I LOVE learning new words.  In mythology, satyrs were known to be very randy.  I'm sure the the evolution of the word, and various meanings online, follows suit.

Interesting topic.  I would think MOST men who play around in the demimonde have a desire to not stop exploring with various women and activities.

Bless them.

Wantonly,
Elisabeth
