A age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I've posted on here before about how i am obsessed with my wife's past and what she did sexually with her previous lovers. We have been married 14 years and have a very active sex life and usually have sex at least five times a week. The problem is she thinks I'm addicted to sex and the more she says it I think she could be right. I usually have to orgasm at least twice a day so if we don't have sex I end up masturbating at least twice and when we do have sex I usually masturbate straight after as I'm not fully satisfied. I really enjoy her telling me what her previous boyfriends done to her while I masturbate, she finds this very weird and she also gets upset as at the moment she doesn't think she is satisfying me fully..

Thanks for the replies. I must also add that i work three sometimes four nights a week so the five times a week we have sex doesn't include the days i work as i don't see my wife. The other thing is my urges are only directed at my wife so if i don't have sex with her i will masturbate thinking about her or look at pictures of her while i do it..Also as i said before i get very very turned on when she tells me about what her ex boyfriends done to her and i like to masturbate when she tells me...

Sexual addiction is about a chemical high the addict receives from the release of endorphines and other hormones produced by the body during orgasm. The addict does not feel well if he doesn't get his fix and may be obsessed with achieving an orgasm. The addict looses control of the sex, it controls him, not the other way around. Sex starts interfering with his/her everyday life. There is also obsession/progression/desensitizing cycles. This is just a few signs of addiction. Only you can answer the question wether or not you have a high sex drive or an addiction. There is a lot of information on the net about it...

Whoa. Well. Five times a week. That's pretty hot!

The only advice I can give is that you take some time out and either talk to yourself or to her about why you feel like this.

Is it a recent development? Has it always been like this?

However, just because you have sex five times a week doesn't mean that you're addicted to sex. It could just mean you have a really healthy sex life.

One of my friends was actually clinically addicted to sex. He got it sorted, but he told me what it felt like. He says, if you feel like you somehow need to have sex to make your life complete and to give you peace of mind that day then you are addicted. If you have sex not because you want to mutually satisfy your partner and yourself, but because you just want an orgasm, that might be something to think about.

Hope that wasn't too direct, babe!
