Hi, I didn’t want to post this publically... the man i met is a recovery sex addict. He admitted to me that being faithful is hard and he is doing extensive therapy. He said his last 2 relationships were only 2 and 5 months but he was faithful and the women he was with dumped him because of the frequency he wanted sex... He is Christian and following god. I made the mistake of sleeping with him (only once) before I really researched into sex addiction. I felt horrible about it because I feel like I enabled his addiction. He wants us to wait for married now, he hasn’t told me about the abuse or trauma that led to the sex addiction etc. He really is an amazing guy and has many very good qualities that I adore about him.June 2019

Adam01God says to wait and to be faithful to the one you love. I was a male whore and slept with a lot of different women as I went through my life from 15 yrs old to 27. I found only personla satisfaction but knew that there was so much more and grew up in church. I finally had my aunt beleive in me and ask me to go to a singles group outing. The reason I'm telling you this is because that's the night i met my wife. I fell in love with her then. I'm use to haveing sex with them the first or second date, but she was an actual preachers daughter who wanted to wait. She never had sex nor has she ever dated anyone so to her being afraind of falling into temptation. We have just celibrated our 7th anniversary and have a 1 yr old and a 4 yr olsd. I aslo was a sex addict, but found that when you wait or give yourself to one person completely that you will find more compasion and have petter love than you did when it was just someone. My problem now is alcohol that Im strugaling with.

For those seeking addiction treatment for themselves or a loved one, the Recovery.org helpline is a private and convenient solution.
Calls to any general helpline (non-facility specific 1-8XX numbers) for your visit will be answered by American Addiction Centers (AAC).
We are standing by 24/7 to discuss your treatment options. Our representatives work solely for AAC and will discuss whether an AAC facility may be an option for you.
Our helpline is offered at no cost to you and with no obligation to enter into treatment. Neither Recovery.org nor AAC receives any commission or other fee that is dependent upon which treatment provider a visitor may ultimately choose.
