Female sex addicts

Riders

Hi,Im Riders and yes Im a recovering sex addict,and female. I know that a lot of men think women cant addicted to sex because we don't enjoy sex but yes I am.
No don't worry,Im not a predator though some think automatically predator when they hear the term sex addict.
Im 48 and bipolar, in the 80s when I was growing up as a teen ,my parents made me go live in psych wards against my will for years. It was abusive and I was ins hock and a lot and had a lot of boyfriends and fooled around with guys in order to comfort myself and survive having to live in psych wards.

That's how it started.
6 years ago I had a boyfriend who introduced me to Polyamoury.There are a lot or Poly folks in my UU church.

I had only a few male lovers in my Polyamourous relationship, I wasn't as much addicted to sex through face to face lovers as I did become with porn.

I became addicted to porn on the net and sex through 2nd Life which is a virtual reality world game on the net, and phone sex, internet dating websights, meeting guys sometimes but I didn't sleep with them, I met a few off the net though, joined fetlife did some bdsm through the phone on the net through 2nd life,compulsive masturbation skyping sexting so.

Eventually I was staying up all night hours at a time with my behavior had to call emergency once to come check on my heart, almost went back into the psych ward because it drove me nuts took my time away.

However I never hit a financial bottom,female sex addicts don't everything is free for us its men who have to pay for prostitutes and strippers women don't. Ive had a couple of guys take me out to eat and buy me drinks for going to the porn theatre with them so sometimes there were perks.

ANyways, now Ive got almost 2 months of sobriety through sex addicts anonymous. Ive been in this program for 14 months though so its taking me awhile to get sober but Im sober now which is good.

Shockingly enough I may go back to a Poly man for a relationship, technically, I cant participate in Polyamoury so Id have to be monogamous but he can be Polyamoury and it might be a good thing anyways.

Just thought Id let yall know if anyone needs help theres a place.
