Sex Addiction

    Hi all. I returned to Dublin a few months ago having been away for 3 years and seem to be back where i left off. Basically i have some kind of addiction to escorts/prostitutes/call them what you like. Where I had been living they weren't really available so it was ok but since i got back, it's just so easy, and the choice is so large that i just can't help myself.
    I'm a good looking fit guy, and i never had a problem finding girlfriends etc, although I've never really been able to pick up chicks in clubs for one night stands or whatever. So I often go long spells without having sex (for free!). Right now I'm trying not to see an escort I want to visit because I saw one the other day, and it's costing me a fortune. I have a good job but it's a pricey game and i could really do without this.
    Usually after I've seen one the urge goes away for weeks but it's getting worse, it's just instant gratification, I can't help myself. Is there anywhere I can get therapy for this or something?
    Please no STD, holier than thou, etc comments, if you played this game you'd know the girls that work off websites etc are mostly intelligent girls that look after themselves, and don't start with the human trafficing thing either, these girls are genuine.

    I suggest you start by talking with your gp and asking for a referal for addiction/risky behaviour counselling/therapy. CBT may be helpful if you can the right person to work with.

    Hi,
    I am a recovering sex addict with all the issues you had too. I ended up getting married and continuing behaviour and was found out. I am am seeing an excellent counseller since Jan that I found on http://www.csa-addictions.ie/Centre/help.html
    Its a website for some kind of centre but has contact details for lots of therapists dealing with it across country.

    I was at end of my tether but now I am doing much better. You need help and these guys really help you out. I had tried ordinary councsellar but it didn't go well. These guys specialise in it. Now saying that, I contacted one directly in my area (check list on website) as I left a message on main CSA number and noone got back.

    Best of luck
