Thanks but for me its the opposite, the longer I go without it the more I desire it and need it

Well my pos status hasn't stopped me at all and I need help

From my honest perspective: yes it’s an addiction. It became a constant need and a high I still crave. The only reason why it’s controlled is 1. of my pos status 2. I want a partner that’s open to satisfying my needs. 3. Since I’m in a dry spell at the moment ... self gratification

I believe sex can be an addiction, like many other things when we overindulge, rather rely on it too much. However, it can get over it.

I never had any addictions but i do feel that if i did, i could get over it by focusing on a more healthier substitute such as picking up a hobby or having an action i do in place of it. The other and more practical part of getting over it would be to not have sex as often. For me, when i go without sex for longer periods of times, i desire it less. Yes, the desire is there but overtime it beomes lessened.

yes it can be.
I do believe we have members that do or did have sex addictions
