I am a man of 42 who has wrecked countless relationships by not staying faithful.

Sex was my drug and I put myself in many risky situations to get it.

But the relief it gave me lasted only as long as the next orgasm.

You explained that sex releases endorphins and can be as addictive as a class-A drug.

Reading your support pack on Sex Addiction felt like reading a description of myself. It was spot-on and had so much helpful information.

You also suggested I contacted Sex Addicts Anonymous and said I should give counselling a try.

I have now taken the first steps and am talking about my problem.

I am not yet cured but I feel more in control of my libido and less self-destructive.

Thank you.
