Q&A: How Do I Overcome My Sex Addiction?

Question by Dylan = Prophet: How do I overcome my sex addiction?
Hello, out there –

I’m 21 and believe I may have the beginning of a problem. For about 60-70 % of the day I think about sex, masturbating, pornography and anything associated with sensuality. I’m constantly barraged with feelings of lust and uncontrollable desires. I often act on these but I believe it’s causing my current and future relationships great harm. There is a constant urge to masturbate late at night. I’m a very promiscuous person especially on the weekends. Often when I look at girls in class or at work or simply on a walk I can’t help but thinking of sexual situations with whomever I look at. It’s really stressful dealing with these issues and there is a great sense of guilt that overcomes me at times. Combined with anxiety, this “addiction” is something I wish to heal or stop.

Does anyone have any advice or maybe a similar story? Please don’t offer any religious routes as I’m not seeking any divine intervention or Biblical passages about my sinfulness. Thanks.
