Hi, my name is Helena and I have a sex problem. I'm a girl and I am not sure if it's normal or not. I have recently become promiscuous within the last 6 months. I haven't yet caught any STD but I am afraid if I continue on this path I will. I don't know how to slow down on sex or stick with one partner every time I try to have sex with just one partner some how within a few weeks I am right back where I began. I just need to know if i am truly a sex addicted.
Helena, your intuition is right. If you continue, an STD is probable. I don’t know how old you are so I don’t know if you have years of being monogamous prior to this present problem. You may be love addicted or sex addicted. A love addict gives sex to be loved. For a sex addict the sex is the fix. Also check out the criteria for sexual anorexia. Sexual anorexia is about intimacy avoidance. You could have any combination. It could also be that you are reenacting some abuse or abandonment cycle as well. I really recommend you see a professional to figure out what is going on so that you can discover a path to recovery and realizing that you are worth knowing and loving.
