Sexual addiction

[Dust_bunny]

Some thoughts.

Sex does not equal love. In it's best form it can be an expression of love. And you can love the sex and not the person, simply enjoy the act. Where do you think fuck buddies came from. If you're are giving sex to get love, good luck. That's never worked for me.

Why do some men not love women in the morning? Probably because they didn't love them the prior night.

Ape sex act? Do you understand that the act is often an expression of dominance and not for pleasure?

Are you saying that animals are sex addicts? Do it for hedoinistic reasons and not reproduction? If so, then you haven't spent enough time around animals. [edit] My female only accepts attention twice a year. The rest of the year it's hands off buddy.

Yes ofcourse sex and love are differenrt and no I don't give sex to get love.  I just find all the social cliches and human stigmas of love and sex really stupid. I feel like some people make big deals out of it. Yes I had bunnies so i know that animals mate for dominance, my rabbit used to mate her lesbian partners head. I wish you could have seen the look on her face when one day the other rabbit tried to hump her head back... she really had the WTF look, like "oh no you did not".

What kind of animal do you have?

Sex is considered an addiction when it interferes with normal life.  When it's obsessive to the point of precluding someone from holding down a job, creating and maintaining non-sexual relationships, that sort of thing.  That's a far cry from promiscuity.

As far as the rest, I dunno.  We're atheists not psychologists.

I took psychology so I think about human nature a lot. 

I guess I'm curious why some people get sex addiction and whether or not it has to do with how they are perceiving what they are doing? Is it the rush of doing something they perceive as forbidden that causes the obsessive feelings?

Humans are so bizarre and complex
