Does SEX be addicted to love?

Love doesn't always involve sex.  Some people don't need sex to be in a healthy relationship.  It just adds a lot of fun and spice into your relationship.  You don't NEED it, but it's still nice.

I have had a sex addiction for many years. I dont understand how sex could ever ruin your life. Just be careful not to get anything that ajax cant wash off. Now that could ruin your life.

you can live without sex, but you can't live without love.\nSEX should be the result of wonderful love but nowadays people banalize it too much.\nLove makes you sweat in your hands when you see the one you love, your heart goes faster and it seems you have butterflies in your stomach. Sex it seems you have butterflies in other parts, playing around and once it is over, that's all about it. LOVE is something so powerful that you can be away for the person you love for many years and you still think of him and you still love him in such a way as if time never existed and as if you were never broke apart. Sex is good and you feel all that pleasure but if there is no love you will never remember the person anymore or it causes you a feeling of emptiness if you made love just to satisfy your body, not your spirit. Love can be unconditional whilst sex can be selfish. Love can be AGAPE and last forever, no matter if you grow old and feeble but the feeling will be always there.\n\nLove is soul, heart whilst sex is body and mind.......\nlove is abstract, spiritual, sex is concrete......should not be like this....should be a COMBINATION of both things.\nOh well, I guess I talked to much. Good luck.

Very much so. In fact, if you believe that you can't, you aren't in love. Sex has nothing to do with a relationship except pleasure and saying " I love you soooo much, I'm ready for a child. " Sex without love is possible, but it isn't a good thing. And actually, sex can ruin relationships. What kind of question is this?

That question kinda has a tricky answer. We develope relationships all the time that don't involve sex. People love their parents, I know I love my friends. However, in a relationship it's more complicated than that. \n\nIn order to oblidge natural urges my first inclination is to say yes, in that one isn't really complete in a romantic relationship until sex. There are several biochemical and social reasons for this. It's hard to feel romantic love for someone without feeling that you know them completely. If two people are avoiding sex with one another they are not opening up to each other and cannot "know" their partner's, in that sence. As far as natural hormones are concerned, the bonding chemical of the brian called oxytocin is signifigantly more present in males at the time of orgasim. Women's levels of oxytocin are naturaly much higher than males, on a day-to-day basis. They feel bonded with people much more easily than men. With this in mind one could argue that a woman might be able to love without sex much more easily than a man.\n\nHowever, in a time when "no sex until marrage" was very prevelant people still fell in love. I think that we as a race and as a culture are always looking for ultimate companionship in another person. We will always find that special bond no matter what aspects of it you add or remove, including sex.

A addict will chose drugs over sex any day. It is really sad, but true. All you can do for somebody that is addicted is not enable them, and be codependent to them. That is usually what is going on, and they are just taking advantage of you to use the drugs.

I think anything can be an addiction if you let it consume your thoughts and actions.   The way to cure an addiction like that would be to change your thought pattern by finding other things to think about - like reading a NON SEXUAL magazine or running/walking.  Also, identify life's priorities and work towards your goals.  I don't think sex is HIGH on the 'must get done to live good life list'!

it's definately recieving more and more recognition as an addiction. its on the level with addiction to porn and other sex industry (strip clubs, phone sex, etc.) i don't think it's quite like sex addiction (most people with sex addiction are chronic masturbators, relate everything to sex, and it is often stemmed from sexual abuse.)\n\ncybersex is very seductive because it is real, yet it is not physical contact. I've been married 7 years, I'm Christian, and adultery is unthinkable to me, in the traditional sense. but i have given in to cybersex. I don't think it's "okay," but I realize it was an easy pit to fall into. and i have talked to people about some WIERD stuff.\n\nif you feel it is a real problem, like if you feel doing it is wrong, or you are doing it too much, or it is interfering with your life or keeping you from having meaningful, real-life relationships, seek help from a professional counselor, or, if possible, discontinue your internet connection for a while, if that is practical.

Sex is an natural embedded characteristic or need in all humans. I have not personally done it but yes I have had that feeling or urge, and I have taken a few psych. courses. It is almost up there with hunger, thirst, and air, sex is only a pleasure for most unfortunately, but was made originally for reproductive resources. Sex is uncontrollable for all but it's all about how you act upon it.

if you "used to be" a sex addict, then it doesn't matter anymore.  overcome it. \n\nbut yeah, it's bad to be addicted, no matter what you are addicted to.  too much of anything is bad.

Its a sad world that produces such consistently narrow minded responses as the ones above.\n\nEvery single one of the above repondents equates Marriage with Sex, not Love.\n\nSex plays an often small if not non existent part in many marriages.   It is inevitable that in some marriages one partner may have a strong sexual urge where the other doesn't.  \n\nThe nature of an individual's sexual urge or even orientation may change over time whilst not necessarily affecting the love one has for a partner.\n\nIn such circumstances an otherwise healthy loving relationship may be put under strain if there is not an outlet for those urges.\n\nInfidelity is commited by the heart not the loins.  \n\nThere are many avenues one can explore to find a sexual release that is emotionally limited.   These avenues, USED SENSIBLY, can fill a gap in your life and relieve an itch before it consumes both yourself and your marriage.

What ever gets you off. Do it till your satisfied.\n\nIf you are having sex with multiple partners then that could be a problem. But if it is with the same man, and you have feelings for him outside of sexual desire there is nothing wrong with being addicted to sex. I believe that you see it as a problem, and if so you need to seek professional help. If you do not see it as a problem then you do not need help.

Yes, definitely.\n\nFortunately most of us are acddicted to pretty harmless vices...like coffee, net.  \n\nI'm addicted to food, booze, and cigarettes.  And if pot was around, I'd be smoking that too.

Doesn't sound like love to me. You don't lie to people you love & actually if you're emotionally healthy, you don't lie at all.\nAs for you, do some reading about addictive relationships and/or see a  therapist. Love shouldn't hurt!

Yes, i think it can. If a person does it often, it becomes an obsession or a fetish....

Love is LOVE, sex is ... well... sex. They are maybe related, but not in this way. The right answer is that love is good as long as it's sincere, no matter of sex (or anything else).
