A former lover of mine recently informed me that he is a sex addict. We are both married and we have stopped seeing one another at the end of last year. We still keep in contact because our family life is very similar. His wife found out that he had been cheating on her. Luckily, she did not find any info about me. I am wondering now, if I too have an addiction. I am not addicted to sex. I do however like getting attention from other men since my husband does not give me the attention that I need. Besides the fact that he mentally and verbally abuses me. I decided to take it upon myself to see if I am attractive to the oppisite sex. Through many chats and dates (while still married) I did indeed find that I am an attractive woman. I liked the attention so much that I was like a kid in a candy store. I had so many men that wanted to be with me. Often, I had at least 3 men that I was seeing at any given time (not together, but seperately). I'd slpit whatever time I had up between the 3 of them. One I would meet in the mornings, one I would meet at lunch and another I would meet in the evenings or on the weekends. I had all my "bases" covered. The fear of getting caught and destroying my family was always in the back of my mind, but it felt so good to be desired because I was/am not getting that at home. I have since stopped seeing so many men. I have one man that I see now (besides my husband). I have no desire to add anymore men to my mix. I am going to be honest though, I do have men "on reserve" if I feel like I need to have some fun. Thing is, that the thoughts of having sex or getting to see these men don't run my life anymore. They did for a few months, but now they don't. Getting back to my point here, my former lover who has admitted to me that he is addicted to sex told me that I could possibly have a problem too. Do I? I feel that I was just going to a phase and "experimenting". I do not have an addictive personality. I don't do drugs, I rarely drink. Any input that anyone has, will be greatly appreciated.
