I think what I have to mention fits in this thread.
I have been researching what is or isn't sex addiction, and I'm right atop the fence as to if I had gotten to be such a person. I'm not talking about multiple partners. I've not had many partners at all. What I'm talking about is letting the act itself become a feeling of need, even though I still think that I enjoy pleasing a partner far more than I focus on myself. I think in my last relationship over a year ago, that I may have become addicted to pleasing my partner, and I may have even been led to be that way without ever realizing it. I don't know how else to say this part, but I feel like a person isn't asked to do such a thing so often if they aren't good at it or at least quite competent, so I think that it was being taken advantage of...to a degree. And, now, all of this time later, I think that I'm realizing that I am dealing with feelings of shame in that...and that it's a big part of why I haven't tried dating even once since that split....because I don't want to be that way again. I don't want the negative side, I mean. I know this may not even make sense to some folks, but I felt like getting it out and written down somewhere at least. I will likely bring this up in therapy eventually, but the confidence for talking about this in person is just not in me yet. But, yeah, overall, I think I let myself become an addict, and I think I'm dealing with repressed shame over it.
