addicted to s3x??? I am serious?

It is addiction if it affects your functioning in day to day life and causing pain in your relationships.

It is true that having been abused as a child may manifest itself in such kind of addictions. Some experience complete loath for sex and others crave for it all the time.

The fact that you identified it yourself and think that you need help is basis enough to get help. Noone knows you better than yourself.

Seek counselling or therapy with somebody you can trust. There are books and programs that cater towards handling addiction. Most addictions are handled the same way...regardless of what kind it is.

Good luck! You already took a step by identifying your problem. :)

It does sound like you are looking for more than physical stimulation. Maybe the reason is because you were sexually abused but maybe it's not.

I was sexually abused by 2 people that were both in my family before the age of 13 and I go through what you are going through also.

I don't really know what causes it but I go through phases where I really need it and then I don't want it at all. Maybe it's got something to do with the abuse Or maybe it's a harmonal thing. You do need to see a doctor about it though.

only 3 times a week at 18??? thats sounds very normal to me --- i would not worry about it --- maybe worry about your boyfriend not wanting it more than 3 times a week --- and fighting!!!!!!!!!!!!!! --- im WAY over 18 and i would not fight if my partner wanted more sex --- i would be only too glad to oblige ---- as far as any deeper meanings that you need to sort out for yourself --- we dont know what you are feeling or thinking so we cant really offer an opinion ---- be excellent to each other

three times a week isn't that much; and i'm surprised your boyfriend doesn't want more.

you sound like you do have an issue with your sex life but i don't think its nympho extreme because you aren't trying to have sex with other people when your boyfriend doesn't please you....are you?

but it isn't healthy that you are basing your relationship on sex.

go talk to someone about the issue surrounding your relationship, just so you can get some proper guidance for the next step.

good luck

I am the same way! me and my bf do it almost everyday a couple times during the day but he says no sometimes and it drives me crazy....even if i o by myself or with him i always want more specially after i o. i always feel like i need it too but only after i was raped a couple times so idk....i was told that if something bad happens to you in your past and you are afraid or scared of it....something big....that when you are struggling in life, relationships, or just with yourself you run to what your afraid of....and that goes for me....but i have no idea why we as people would do that.....but i hope you figure it out!

You're obsessing about it, but also, at 18, your hormones are very active, so you probably do want it quite often. Three times a week is no big deal - so relax and enjoy it, and try not to worry. There's no need.

I love u =] hahah jk umm try uhh... pleasureing yourself?? i know thats a lil weird but at least youll still get that feeling and it might fulfill your sex drive a lil bit and not ruin your relationship

I'M SORRY TO HEAR YOUR PLIGHT, IT IS NATURAL FOR YOU TO BE SEXUALLY ACTIVE AT YOUR AGE, I THINK MAYBE YOU HAVE LOW SELF ESTEEM AND IT IS AFFECTING YOUR JUDGEMENT ABOUT LOVE, SEX, PLEASURE, SATISFACTION, ADDICTION OR TRYING TO PLEASE THE GUY IN YOUR LIFE, I HOPE YOU CAN SEE A PROFESSIONAL TO TRY TO UNLOAD THIS WEIGHT OFF YOUR MIND, YOU REALLY NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT, GOOD LUCK, I HOPE YOU CAN GET HELP

im gunna be 18 this week ha ha i feel the same way but i dont want people thinkin i'm a hoe ......what a dilemma.....just lost my virginity and now i gotta the pringles effect goin on ....idone popped but now i can't stop !!!!!

wow, is your boyfriend gay. I'd be jumping at the opportunity to have sex every day. Come round to me and my missus and we'll take care of ya!
