I'm addicted

Ok. I think I'm a sex addict. Im horny all the time. Constantly. I masterbate on an overly regular basis. Roughly 6 to 8 times a day, and I have sex with my boyfriend at least 1 or 2 times a day. But its never enough! Its been getting worse recently in the last few months, to the point of being aroused even when not thinking of sex. Its becoming a problem and has began to affect my relationship negatively. If anyone has experience with this and could point me in the correct direct or whether i need to see a doctor or a therapist, itd be greatly apprechiated!

Hi, maybe you should talk to your parents about this or if you're afraid, go to a Pastor or Priest. I doubt if they could give you any good advice but sometimes it feels good to just talk about it. As a last resort you can find another boyfriend. One who can handle sex that many times.

Hi Cap, First you really need to get yourself under control, to much female masturbation can be just as bad for women as it is in men, If you really want to help yourself, you have to remember its all down to you, you could try not masturbating for a couple of weeks, along with no sexual contact, and from the sound of for you this will be very hard thing to do, so for this two weeks you need to do it one day at a time, take each day as it comes.
If you don't there are a couple of things like bad UTI's and yeast infections.
now during this two week break try this, its a herb, Ashwagandha is another herb which can be taken as herbal supplement or in organic form to cure the effects of over masturbation by both males and females. It has all the properties which can not only cure the problem but also prevents them from resurfacing. Always remember that these herbs are only effective when consumed internally and in proper dosage.
See how you get on.
Good Luck
