Having read about a program on T.V about sex addiction, although it hasnt been shown yet, I thought I'd google it, and see what it came up with.
I had a look at the Sex Addicts Anonymous website, and they have 12 questions to self assess your addiction.
One of the questions was
your sexual activities include the risk, threat, or reality of disease, pregnancy, coercion, or violence?
Leaving aside the coercion or violence, all sexual activity leaves you at risk, threat or reality of disease and pregnancy.
I realise that SAA is a life saving organisation for some people, but I answered yes to several of the 12 questions, including the one above.
Am I really a sex addict?
Are you?
Well it looks like I am as I def answered yes to more then one of the questions!! woops lol
aaah I'm a good girl, I only answered YES to two.. :angel:
I know the organisation is probably worthwhile. Although i would like to know the percentage of the population who would answer no to all 12 questions!!!
My names Wenchy, and I'm a sex addict.
(Although I've been feeling scarily reformed lately :shock: )
But going on those questions, show me someone who's not a sex addict, and i'll show you a liar.
Well that was kinda my point.
There is always a risk of pregnancy or disease. So that 1 question, people are gonna have to say yes.
But then a lot of people I've spoke to think that if they use condoms, and are on the pill, then there is no risk.
Which we know to be nonsense!!!
I answered yes to four of the questions, but I dont think im an addict as such, I enjoy sex but im not addicted to it.

Is all I'm saying!
The programme was Am I a Sex Addict? with Ulrika Johnson.
I googled it and there is a 20 question questionaire and i think i answered yes to 16 of them. But I don't necessarily feel good about it.
I know I use sex instead of intimacy and I know i use sex to make me feel good about myself, at least for a few hours (or minutes depending on the man).
I hate when I see myself in the mirror and having people on here saying nice things makes me feel better about myself.... for a while.
But the fact is I'm single.... still.... and likely to stay that way cos guys always seem to find someone they like better than me
