Hello to all ! Greetings From Poland. very Good Page !
 
I don't think anyone should be judging her, especially without knowing what her specific situation is. Also, it was many of your husbands and dads that contributed to that number, so lets look at whats REALLY wrong with that picture!!
 
How many STD's did she contract with sleeping with 450 men/women? Risky buisness!! She needs to get on the right track as soon as possible.
 
I read all of your comments, and I wonder if any of you have had to battle an addiction? Cigarettes, drugs, alcohol, even nail biting. Not every case, but for the most part, people who have sex addictions have been abused when they were younger. The abuse made them lose all their strength, and it became the only thing they knew would always happen. The abuse became their comfort, and if it was sexual abuse it's easy to understand sex addiction. If you think about how women on average go back to their abusive partners 7 times before they get out, having sex with 450 people seems believable. I think you just have to put yourself in their shoes in everyones case and even if they're not ready to ask for help, never to criticize.

I know that my addiction is bad but it's not as bad as hers. I just want to get rid of it because I am on the verge of getting serious with someone to the point of marriage, and this addiction could get in the way. My significant other knows about my addiction but he doesn't know everything!!!
 
More power to her. I'm not mad at her, she needs the right man in her life who can keep up.
