Me personally... if I was with a man and found out probably by his cheating on me that he has a sex addiction that I can not satisfy for him, I would be in the wind quicker than he could pull up his pants... Men that don't have an addiction to sex cheat, and I don't stay with them unless I've previously agreed to this behavior... but an addict that would use his lack of self control as an excuse to tap out a quickie from every woman around, maybe even from my sisters or girl friends who wouldn't be safe from his influence.. nope... he's history..

Sorry about all the extar posts. I have a strange internet connection in my current location.

Tx, it's an interesting subject but most men wouldn't see it as a problem. Most would even like to help, do what they could to help out.

Most men's dream...a sex addiction!!!

Yeah, most guys would. But, I'm not asking what most guys would do, I,m about the ethics of doing it.

I guess it's sort of like someone offering cheesecake to a person with a food addiction. A person's mom may do that.

You can NEVER have too much cheesecake!

i'm sexy i'm know it.........

IT DEPENDS...the ethics of having sex with an addict will depend on individual (your) moral and ethical values...as long as it's not a crime against society, and no arrest are made. I would think that it would depend, also, on what you are looking for from a relationship.

That’s a tough one because for me it probably would not get far enough to weigh the ethical question. My first thought would be that the influence of their addiction has probably hampered their ability to make wise/safe choices when it came to their previous sexual partners.

If I were starting a relationship with this person when I found out about their addiction, I would have to consider the unlikelihood that he could maintain a monogamous relationship, and the safety hazards he would be subjecting me to as he entertained his sexual desires elsewhere.

I would think, that like alcoholism, were the person in therapy or treatment, new relationships would be discouraged until they have a good handle on THEMSELVES. So, whether they were in treatment or not, that indicates to me that they should not be distracted from thier problem...certainly not indulged in it.

I guess that would be a YES, I think it would be unethical to engage in sex with a sex addict.

Speaking for myself I would not because I'd be scared of catching aids or other std's. To expand on your question it happens all the time for instance a bartender serves drinks to people addicted to alcohol, Chefs cook for people with weight problems etc etc.

Okay, we're Happy 4 yu

You guys are missing the point. Suppose you weren't interested in a relationship beyond sexual and the addicted person had a clean bill of health from a doctor.

Now, you've found someone willing to give you what you're looking for without insisting on more. Once you've learned that person has a problem, do you still engage in coitus with them?

Double post.

That's a lot of assumptions to make but in what way exactly is this "sex addiction" a problem? If, to take your example, it's effecting her career and she's just slacking off from her job to see me then no, I'm not really going to feel guilty about that and presumably if she wasn't doing it with me she would be doing it with someone else. If we're having a good time together and she's just being "naughty" that might even make it more fun. However, if the woman really is messed up in the head and what she's doing is a problem in that it makes her feel bad about herself and she isn't feeling good about me and what we're doing that might start to mess my head up as well.

I think what two consenting adults agree to has no harm,However if she is a sex addict with a"clean" bill of health she will be sleeping with many partners and can get aids or stds at anytime after leaving her DR.s office. MY original opinion stands.

It is a lot of assuming. That's because I'm interested in the ethics, not the other issues people keep bringing up to not have sex, like monogamy and STDs. These things are off topic and beside the point.

Yeah...it would be just unethical as one would be taking an undue advantage of his/her helplessness.

Any kinda addiction is definitely a state of helplessness,where in people keep doing some thing as they are just badly used to do so even if they really suffer a lot due to those dirty habits.

A good human being shall help such people to come out of the situation and help them living a normal life,I'm sure you will feel proud of your self if you really help him / her & would definitely enjoy more with him / her once they become normal.

Honestly guys. Will never miss a day for being hungover. But the amount of days i miss cause there is a random beautiful girl in my bed that i just aint done wooin yet is amazing

You sir do not have things in perspective and may have a sexual addiction yourself. Nothing comes before your income.

Or maybe you get laid so infrequently you must take advantage of it when a woman finally does say yes to you. Kick her to the curb and if she doesn't like it, find another. Women are not an endangered species.

Give him a break man. Everybody throws a sicky from time to time.

Honestly, this is the funniest thread you've posted yet. I'm going to hold my hands up and declare myself a sex addict as well because there's basically nothing else I care about when I'm having sex, even when I'm getting it regularly.

the problem with allowing someone with an addiction to continue, is we either 1) feel a false sense of benefit to ourselves 2) feel as if we are somehow keeping them from something more painful. thus, we ourselves become co-dependent. we enable them to continue that which can be very bad, harmful, to themselves and even ourselves. co-dependency is also an addiction that should seek help. it's the blind leading the blind scoundrel.
