Dear Tyra. I have been married 2 1/2 wonderful years with two children. My husband is a sex addict. Its not that he wants sex with other people, its just that he wants me all the time. I am only 20 nearly 21 and if it is up to him we would have sex 3 or more times a day. He is a Marine and we had only been married for 4 months when he got deployed for 7 months and before that we only got to see each other a weeknd a month. So when he got back he wanted it all the time. Being how I was sexually active before we got married, I thought it was just normal expectually because he had just got back. But as time has past, it contues. I love him very much but sometimes I don't think I can take it anymore.

I don't believe I'm a sex addict I just LOVE sex!! Sometimes I feel like a boy in heat and it's even worse because my boyfriend has joined the Army! What can I do??

Hi Tyra, I know I am not, if anything just the opposite. I have been married almost 5 years and could probably count on both hands the number of times we made love. I love my husband dearly wouldn't change a thing. I know he feels the same about me, other than the obvious. He says he is desirous of me, he is just waiting for me to make the first moves. We sought out counseling, helped a little but not much.. Anything else to try and help is going to be expensive and because of this darned economy, my husband along with about 450 other employees will all be getting laid off at the end of July. So financially things will be strapped for quite a while. Oh and I also have Multiple Sclerosis, I know you can't do miracles, but just thought I would give it a shot. Thank you

Hello. I saw your show ' I Could be A Sex Addict' which reaired on June 15. Im not a sex addict BUT do think that Lorenzo would make a very good model. I do photography and management and would like to get in touch with him and perhaps do some work with him. Does anyone know if he is on line anywhere or how to contact him. Email me on aol. Thank you.

I have always been addicted to porn since i was around 8 until recently. my husband saw all the sites that ive been to and the way it hurt him hurt me soooo much that i have stopped. its really hard but when i have an urge i distract myself and keep myself busy so i wont do it. Ive been reading a book called The Excellent Wife and in it really showed me how selfish sex addiction is. No one knows about this except for my husband now and i am so thankful to have him. I always wondered why i was like this and i realize now that it is my way of feeling like im using men instead of them using me. My father was never their for me and still isnt he has 7 kids 5 different mommas and hes only raised the three youngest. I am not blaming this on him but i know it has a part. i rember going into his room when i visited him a few times and seeing stacks of playboy and penthouse magazines. I honestly think i inherited it. Because of this i didnt trust men at all. when i was 6 an older man touched me inappropiatley i told his aunt and my mother and he was sent back to mississippi where he was from. Over my lifetime men have always been trying to get with me or touch me in some kind of way. So when i turned 18 i didnt care anymore and started sleeping with different guys i barely knew, until i met my now husband. He was the only one who protected me and said hey what the heck are u doing! I dont generally open up to people only a few people less

I don't think I'm a sex addict but I do have a problem when it comes to sex...there is absolutely no emotional attachment to it for me. After sex with someone I'm often bothered if they call or try to pursue. The weird part of it is that I use sex for power over men. I was married and didn't sleep with my husband often (we have 5 kids) and he never understood anything but sex so I did it to shut him up. After divorcing him I started realizing that sexuality was something that could be used to get anything so I often found men with money to date and even if I didn't like them I would do it to get what I wanted. I don't ever feel used or dirty it is almost like shaking someone's hand. I am completely emotionless when it comes to sex it's easier for me to give someone my body vs. my heart...my friends often laugh because I'll jokingly say, "as long as they don't stink I can do it" I don't even have to like them, men say to me that I act like an emotionally unavailable man...I need help and I have to find it soon!

I believe I am a sex addict but how can I say it

hi tyra i took the test and i am 12 years old i know i should'ent have but i know i am....a...sex addict...its hard to say it aloud becuase of my age family and people around me i can't get a ring becuase its a lie it's says your not a virgin but physically not i can't say it to my self becuase i want to die most of the time but i do IT all the time I REALLY NEED HELP but i sometimes think i can live like this but i am confused but i feel most of the time no one can like right now i'm alone typying this i needed help spelling things and my brother won't help me so i flip him off and keep typing so i'm sorry if the spelling is a little wrong

i think it sounds good.But in my own case i do masticate often whenever i watch DVD s.I think that sounds weird.

Hi Tyra , there are lots of topics that u have had in the past that I felt the need to comment on and never even got around to looking up your site but today I felt I needed too. I have not taken the quiz but i know I am a SEX addict but I am classified as a SEX & LOVE addict and that closes relates to the young girl.The reason I felt the need to comment I was dissappointed that u failed to bring this up if you want to reach viewers that need help this can be essential.Because there are specific SLA (12step program)seperate from Sex Addicts anomymous because they do not understand or relate to the compulsion of having sex with professionals or even self gratifing I started SLA groups(attending)more then 15yrs ago.Love addicts are sex adddicts because they seek the "high" of a new relationship(feels like love)therefore they will seek it out anyway they can.I have been married 4 times most relationships not lasting more then 6 months .My husband of 10years now (whew) are still together but nearly got a divorce and I had had an affair off and on with the same man for 3 years , after I filed for divorce my husband begged me not to leave and the looser showed his true colors so I came clean with my husband in order for us to heal.Thanks for hearing me out Laurie

Hi Tyra my name is Cha'Keilon Madge and i watch your show maybe 3 weeks to a month ago and it was about Married couple who dont have sex because it hurts the female companion.I also have that problem in my realationships. Every time me and my partner try to get intimate it goes fine just until he tries to penetrate and thats when my body just shuts down and it wont let him in without severe pain remind you that my body was just ready ad willing seconds ago. I have told no one of this problem except my partners and they dont seem to mind but i do and i need to kno is there something wrong with me?

My name is Devin, I am 18 years old, I just finished watching the show, I do admit that I am a sex addict. I find myself in the shoes of the married man, everything he said he felt and is going through, that is me EXACTLY. Until this show I thought I was the only person that was going through this. I didn't know if what I feel is just normal male teen behavior? Could it be hereditary from the way my father was? I don't really have anyone to talk to about my situation, my families religion strictly prohibits any or these actions or thoughts, however I can't help how I am feeling. I NEED help. -Devin

Hah! I got 6 C's and 1 B...Sex addict? Yes, I know I am. I have put myself in danger and got a reality check from it. Now i'm in a relationship and I struggle every day to not search for sex in every corner I can find it. I honestly understand what it is like to be an addict that has gone cold turkey. Those above who judge need help just as much as those who can't control the urges. To the 15yo Mari you need to realize your hormones are running crazy but if you have the feeling of needing love or acceptance and are not comfortable talking to your parents there are great school pscys that are there for you to talk to. Maybe stop the trend after this next boyfriend and work on you and who you are and what you want to be and where you want to be in the few years. With much love to those who are addicts and those who are not. Kisses, Ask Naughty Nikki
