Default Porn or sex addiction ? - 07-06-2008, 07:51 PM
Thought I would open the door for another kick at this question.
After being P and MB free for 94 days I still struggle with urges to M.
Ideally my wife would want sex every day or so but I love her and realize that at age 56 it is not going to happen. We have sex about once a week and some mutual M activity at mid week - yet I can't seem to settle with this pattern.After 3 months I still walk around with sex on my mind quite often - daily anyway. Usually it is a physical / horny sensation as well
Enduring the current pattern of marital sex or returning to solo M (non P) seem the only sex options. Yet I am afraid solo M may lead back to P.
Surprisingly I have had little temptation to look at P. A few scenes involving nudity and sex have shown up in movies but I didn't get very aroused by them.
So this leads me to think the my problem is not so much PA (although it did become a big compulsion in recent years) but a compulsion for sex.
So perhaps sex addiction more accurately describes my challenge.
I am really afraid of doing a stretch without any sex - perhaps my fear of total celibacy is another clue to my situation.
Any insight out there?
