Sexual addiction is a pattern of sexual behaviours that are out of control and continue despite negative consequences. As in other addictions, changes in brain chemistry are at the core of the addiction. In sex addiction, the changes are caused by sexual behavior and fantasizing about sex or romantic activities. Sex addiction is a process addiction because no chemicals are taken into the body. Chemical changes occur in the body because of the addicts behaviours. Any sexual activity that causes changes in body chemistry can become and addiction. Even on-line romances become addictive when they are a substitute for reality or a way to escape reality.

Lol, snipershot being condescending to Zoph is pure gold.

Sex is a biological function that is not needed for the survival of an individual human being - it can be abused, leading the brain to think that it needs to jerk off or have sex or whatever to survive individually, which is not true. It can lead to individuals feeling addicted, trapped, etc. So yeah, it could be considered an addiction if your definition comes from something crazy like a dictionary or something.

[quote]everyone gets in equal amounts.


Not neccesarly zoph,there is people like priest and nuns thats can't have sex and also,some people just dont get "sex" if you see my point.
[/quote]May I suggest another time to actually read the entire sentence you quote part of?
Ahem:
but it's not a craving that everyone gets in equal amounts.

But uh, thanks for agreeing with me, I guess.

I suppose, if you're willing to call it that, it might be an addiction, but it's really what you consider an addiction.
I don't know if "addiction" is the correct term, but I'm glad I got you to realize that it can be a problem.

Yea well,some people don`t get sex,because they don`t have a sexual appeal,and no one will want to have sex with them or they could just have serious diseases(STD`s) witch does not wanto to make the other person that wants to have sex with them possible.

Funny how the thread starter isn't informed enough about sex addiction to actually understand what it entails a lot of the time . . . .

Sex addiction isn't always about sex, it's about sexual stimulation. You don't need another person for that.

If this was what you were trying to say before, it would have helped if you'd emphasized get instead of air-quoting "sex".

Also, one's ability to score some hot action isn't necessarily related to one's sex drive.

I don't know why you brought lack of sexual appeal up, though.

Umm how is it possible to have to much sex.... Well i guess chaffing or a rash... But that brings up my second question. How can having sex be wasting your life. I mean you could go outside, but having sex isnt a nerdy thing to do.. Just um... Maybe wear a condom.... Personally i think this is probably one of those better addictions out there. Its not like you can die from constantly having an erection...

Sex addiction wastes your life, because it causes you to stop your normal daily routine. You cant have a normal life if you are having sex all the time ... And by the way, there are no good addictions ... all addictions are very harmful to ones life ... And it may not be possible to die from an erection (im not sure), but it is possible to die from an std you get from having sex with everyone you can.

You know, there's a reason they say you should go see a doctor if an erection lasts more than four hours.

In extreme cases, it can even lead to gangrene and necessitate penis removal.

Untreated gangrene can easily become life threatening. So yeah. It may still be extreme cases, but... It can theoretically kill you.

[quote]I think my ex-wife was allergic to sex.

You know there are women who are allergic to the products of sexual intercourse....

And some guys are the same way.
