i beleive I am a sex addict.
I would rather not, but I do not fear it, even if it has had all kinds of consequences; some positive and some well...
When I was in my mid-forties I had a fling with a stripper; I left my wife because I could not live through the lie and wanted to persue this new and exciting relationship.
Mind you I do not have children and my then wife is now remaried and probably happier so I do not feel bad for anyone involved.
So after two years of living a fantasy and spending tens of thousands of$, I left the dancer because I did not think it was going anywhere and the feelings were not completly mutual.
Since then I have had other relationships, but none totaly satisfying.
Today, in my late fifties, completly single, I am less impulsive but sometimes go on sexual benders. Hobbying is fine by me because I don't think I will ever be able to open-up and fall in love again and sex and beautiful women seem to be my only true passion.
I took the SAST test and scored a 14
I do accept and take full responsibility for my addiction.
