Is sex addiction a thing?

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

The problem here is not the activity but the label applied to it.
Our world is lamentably infested with people who think it's their job to demonize sexuality.
If someone likes sex, that's their business as long as their partners are willing. It's your body. full steam ahead.
That is your destiny.
Don't allow yourself to be emotionally crippled by the label, "sex addiction" some asshole invented to get himself a little attention.

Sadly, this has gone off topic. A lot of posters focus on the masterbation aspect,
All men do that,that's normal. I am in my early 40s, and yes my addiction has cost me relationships in the past. It has come to the stage where I feel that if I'm in a relationship,I would just get bored of it after a few months, and also I feel that it would be unfair on the woman to expect her to have the same needs as I do.
I'm not into porn, or sex aids or any stimulant pharmaceuticals.
I just have a very strong need. Also, I have noticed that there is little help,
Unlike the other addictions that have regular meetings. I have been like this since I was 17 and I thought I would just grow out of it,but sadly that hasn't happened.

Should look at the other side of the page, you will have a very healthy prostate gland. Nothing worse that having old seminal fluids hanging around in your body and likely to cause prostate cancer , when you can easily remove them and replace them with freshly made fluids.

Your body breaths out old air and replaces it with fresh air. It also takes in fresh water and rids itself of old water. Same with food and your prostate is no different.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Monogamy isn’t for everyone.

The white picket fence dream isn’t for everyone.

Many people have different needs and some of us just doing fit society’s mould.

If it’s not affecting your job and you’re still able to function as a decent human being then embrace your freedom!

Just play safe and stop slut shaming yourself. You’re living an amazing life, enjoy it to the max while your dick still works.

Great . Just encourage him to feed his pathetic addiction . Thats why its got so bad because he just feeds it without stopping to think . Feeding your addiction is like adding petrol to fire . Ask any addict of anything let alone something as wanky as a sex addiction . But go ahead if you want , its you life .

sklmeera - Let me ask you - if he played golf twice a week (which would cost a lot more than two bar girls a week) and he thought about golf all the time, watched golf on TV every night and was obsessed with the game- would you tell him to stop feeding his pathetic addiction?

I highly doubt it. You'd praise the guy for being so active and healthy.

You can get injured playing sport.
You can spend a fortune playing sport.
You can play sport with a million different partners if you want to.

Why is sex different?

If everyone is of legal age and everyone is consenting, I don't see the issue. But what would I know hey, I'm just a woman. ;)

But what if . . . .

- 'she turned up at my door drunk' ?
- or, 'she couldn't pay her rent' ?
- or, she was 'a homeless woman who was hanging around outside my apartment' ?

…..Then I'd suggest he use some discernment in future. And plays safe.
