[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure the behavior yout listed is indicative of sex addiction. Sounds like you're just an attention whore with low self-esteem. [/quote]

Sex Addicts Anonymous disagrees and would say my insecurity and need for attention and validation were my character defects that facilitated my addiction. Step 5 and 6.[/quote]

NP. Is sex addiction really just a term for people who act out [u]sexually[/u] due to insecurity and need for attention/validation, as opposed to acting out by doing other things? Or is there something actually addictive about the act itself, in the same way that alcohol is physically addicting? In other words, if you satisfied your insecurity and need for attention/validation by simply flirting incessantly or being a cruel gossip (sorry if these are inapt, just trying to think of other ways these character traits might manifest), you wouldn't be a sex addict, but you would still have the same underlying issues. Or do you think you'd be a sex addict no matter what? And are there sex addicts who don't feature character defects that facilitate the addiction, but are addicted nevertheless? These aren't necessarily personal to you but I am curious. Thanks.[/quote]
