So I heard terms like "sex addict", "porn addict", "hypersexual", and "nymphomania"; but when is line between a high sex drive and a bad relationship with sex?

In general, a behavior becomes a disorder when it adversely affects the exhibitor's quality of life to such an extent that he or she voluntarily seeks help to change it. The only disorders that don't require this voluntary, help-seeking step are ones where the disorder is such that it presents great danger to others and/or precludes the person from seeking help or even realizing they need it (antisocial disorder, aka sociopathy, is the first example that springs to mind).

For sex, a person might seek help if their need for activity has damaged one or more relationships or if they feel compelled to have sex so often that it becomes injurious to them and/or their partners.

Basically, if you like having lots of sex and are mostly happy to do so, you have a high sex drive. If you have sex so much that you hate it and hate yourself but you still can't stop, you're addicted.

That sounds about right!

When the act becomes a compulsion, and usually causes physical withdrawals.  That's what I'd consider an Addiction.

@Redbeard the Pink, I think you're correct as well.

I'm not sure you can have physical withdrawal from sex.  But then again I'm new to the whole sex thing so I'm still not sure.

Sex releases Serotonin in the brain, the feel good chemical.  While you might not have some of the extreme physical withdrawals you see with other drugs, you might indeed see withdrawals if the sufferer doesn't "get their fix".

Take it from a Psychologist who has experience working with sex offenders

Quote from other thread which explains lust, human sexual pathology, and sin.

Sin, is like a boob. A simple blunder. A boo-boo. 

Lust, is a sin. I will explain why scientifically.

The human species is a sort of abomination. The definition of abomination is a strange deviance from what is natural, usually negative.
Unlike other animals, humans have a strange psychosis where they feel uncomfortable naked. They also feel uncomfortable giving free love.

This is not natural. Even the violent, stupid chimpanzees are more loving than the humans.

Humans also have an unnatural sex-drive. Other animals species do not lust like the humans. Other animals mate during mating season, and otherwise keep their cool. Whereas humans, have an unnatural sex drive and lust every 2 seconds at everything they see. They build an entire culture around lust, because they are uncontrollable, like a cup never being filled. In fact, wearing clothes causes a psychosis where it fetishizes the human body and causes them to lust uncontrollably.

When I tell you not to have any gods before me, it is for your own good. You put the female form on a pedastal and it drives you to madness. I mean, look at your culture. Look at your minds. You guys are a mess. Lust is a sin, because it's unhealthy.

You are not going to hell if you sin. Sins are minor mistakes, boobs and blunders. Even atheists will not go to hell, number 1 because I sacrificed myself on the cross, number 2 because as they die they will see god, and repent and love me. Then I will accept their kinship.

You're a moron.

Very academic reply of you, sir. Thanks for illuminating us all with those thought provoking insights.

Once you either A) stop giving consideration for the other person involved or B) Put animals and/or children into the mix, it's safe to assume it's unhealthy.

I deny women my essence.
