Is sex addiction real. Should you apologise for having a high sex drive

They're not the same thing at all.

Sex addiction and high sex drive are two completely different things,

Also, I think you’d have to be having a hell of a lot of sex to be considered a sex addict, which I certainly am not

Being horny or having lots of sex doesn't make you a sex addict.

Its not about quantity with addiction, its the lengths taken to obtain the high

Anything that is compulsive to you and you feel you cannot live without could be classed as an addiction yes

In addition to your point about quantity:

Someone who might need just one drink in the morning to face the day, but doesn't drink for the rest of the day, could also be considered an addict.

But there can be no quality. An alcoholic may eventually drink the dregs, in sex addiction the person may eventually stoop to that equivalent low. Sex addiction like any other addiction will make you behave in a way that's harmful to you and hurt those you love. It's a real thing.

High sex drive? Don't we all have those.

That's why I used that word. I agree with what you said, I was just adding that even if it's only one drink, it's still an addiction.

It is if it is done unsafely apparently ... I am only learning more about this myself. I don't have to much to add right now. But I would like to hear more from people who are more educated on the differences between the two....

I've always believed addiction is related to affordability.

When you can no longer afford to do something you're an addict...

The term sex addiction has been designed by some prudes out of envy to all the people who have more sex then them self , not very difficult as they usually have none

If you want to see a reasonably accurate depiction of sexual addiction then watch the film Shame.

Theres a school of thought in America ironically enough, that the diseasing of America is a multi billion dollar industry, so, in other words if something is proving to be problematic for some, put a label on it, set up twelve step meetings, and allow the industry to flourish..cynical i know, but....

Sex addiction? No thank you!

Wouldn't wish it on anybody! As it progresses it will definitely control every aspect of your life.

Like any addiction it will rip your life apart including that of loved ones.

Most definetly, help will be required to successfully work through it

All joking aside, it's a real thing but you have to dismiss the Tiger Woods / Porno version of it.

It doesn't just mean the sexual act itself but accessing porn, camming, or even thinking about sex to such a degree that it is a driving compulsion. Generally rule of thumb is that if you are jeopardising domestic circumstances, finances, or ever your job without the ability to stop then it could be considered an addiction.

The best explanation of this I heard was that it was a need to stimulate the brain, not really a want or a pleasure just a release of endorphins in the brain through the chase and action!
