Sex Addiction

[jenni543]

Hi, can anyone help me? I don't know why the hell I am always on sex thought! I feel like to do it 3-4 times a day! I know it's not normal, but it happens. My boyfriend could go 2-3 weeks without sex. I often watch porns and find happiness in that. I have been diagnosed with OSC 4 months ago and I am on Fluvoxamine and Trileptal. My boyfriend started realizing my high sex drive and I really feel guilty, but I couldn't stop it yet. I hate being like this. At this moment I feel like I should quit my high sex drive, but I will be watching some porns after an hour. I couldn't control myself. I can't share this with anyone and that's why I am asking here. Can a sexual addiction treatment from a nearby clinic in Toronto ( Bellwood ) help me? But I feel ashamed to approach them with such a need. What are your thoughts? Can anyone please help me?

stop warching porn. find some other activity. when those impulses comes, sit down and meditate for 15 minutes. Those urges usually last only one minute. i myself watched porn for a decade on weekly basis, i dont think it did anything good for me.

Porn does not do anyone any good I think, specially if it is coming from an impulsive state.  

I think getting professional help can be useful but only if you are aware that it is only an extra and that you can do it without it. 

Here is a very good video Leo did on overcoming addiction.

Yes, find another activity to do when those urges appear. Like meditation, a sport ( I would recommend a martial art) , gardening, ice cream, eating.... My point being you can just end it, I know it seems over simplified but that's it.  Clinic and diagnosis can be helpful, but you just have to be strong and dedicated.

Definitely recommend watching Terry Crews' videos on how he overcame his porn addiction He also gives tips on how to end the addiction. The videos are on his Facebook page.
