What's the difference between high sex drive and sex addict

[BrothaZay]

Huh

 

[Deuterion]

• Someone with a high sex drive likes to have sex at a greater frequency than average.
• A sex addict is someone who cannot control their sexual urges and will compromise their well-being to satiate their sexual appetite.

An addict does not have control over what it is that they fancy.

 

[TL15]

If the person is doing things they regret it’s an addiction

 

[humminbird]

Look at an alcoholic
Replace alcohol with sex

 

[BrothaZay]

So basically yall don't know

A man who cheat on his wife or girl with multiple women

The lack of ability to restrain equals a sex addition.

 

[Mowgli]

[LezJepzin]

Let’s use clubbing for an example. You have some people who, when they go out, they going all out. Spending a lot of money, getting wasted, being wild. But they don’t have to go out every night or weekend. But when they do, they have to turn all the way up or it ain’t fun. If they could go out everyday they probably would, but they are able to be responsible enough to control those urges.

Then you have people, who have to go out every single day. They gotta do something. Even if it ain’t popping like that, that’s better then just being at the house. They will do whatever to satisfy that craving. To the point where it may effect their jobs or relationships. The first group of people have high party drive. The second group of people are addicted.

So what if it's easy for you to turn down sex from a past or current partner but you will "risk it all" to have sex with someone new

I don’t know, good question. I’m thinking that’s probably not a sex addiction. I will ask my homeboy with a sex addiction and let you know what he says tomorrow. This nikka has to fukk a bytch every night. Don’t matter how they look as long as they got a fat ass smh. This nikka be having all kind of crazy adventures. I don’t see how he deal with that shyt. I’m not mad cause he literally sending naked pics of these hoes in the group chat almost daily I’m gonna ask him would he turn down sex from his ex wife, who he hates.

That’s not a sex addiction
They’re not feeling the past/current partner anymore
That can also be the coodige effect
Coolidge effect is a biological phenomenon seen in animals, whereby males exhibit renewed sexual interest whenever a new female is introduced to have sex with, even after cessation of sex with prior but still available sexual partners.[1][2][3][4] To a lesser extent, the effect is also seen among females with regard to their mates.

The thing is I've had sex with 3 different ppl in a 24 hour period twice in my life

Then I have times when I'll turn down sex from the same ones

I don’t think you’re an addict
You just like new opportunities
