A past partner of mine was not naturally monogamous, except for when she was in love with a guy, but then she would invariably cheat on him. When she was casually dating, she might spend the night with me, then meet up with another guy she knew the next day, or even sleep with a brand new guy she just met, then be back in my bed a few days later. She enjoyed the men she was with for the pleasure she got, but I wondered if there was something else going on.Actual sex addiction is damaging and toxic.
Women with high sex drives they are eager to act upon? Yes. And it was dope.
High sex drive???
"sex addict"???
something else??? <== most likely
The woman I referred to above eventually needed some mental health evaluation and treatment due to sudden outbursts of anger and violence. She did get that help, and when I saw her later, she had better realization and control of her behavior. Did we still have sex? Yes, of course, as we were very sexually compatible. We half joked and half seriously said that if we met up again in nn years time, and if we were both single, we'd jump right back into bed together.I agree with Enid, the term evolved as a legal defense tool rather than a human condition.
My experience is that conditions occur when people seek to have more or less sex and sexual partners than their basic sex drive is seeking, in a sense they are no longer seeking sex, but sex as a substitute or affirmation etc of something else.
