Has any thought been given to having a board for sex addiction? I don't think that it would fit within relationships.

I think I'd suggest Substance Use, too. Then if there's a lot of interest, I can add it to my list of new boards to open up...

Your right it's just a word I thought that you were heading toward pornography or something like that sorry I misunderstood you . I guess you meant something geared toward the unwanted side effects of sex from med? Please correct me if I'm wrong it's hard to know what someone means when you are not talking in person with them. And yes a lot of people have problems with sexual addiction. I hope I didn't offend you that was not my intention. If I did may I apologize I'm sorry. Love Phillipa

Just change the "substance use" board to "addictions" and you'll cover everything.
I agree sex addiction is a huge problem. I've thought about getting into some sort of 12-step group or join a monastary it's such a problem for me. I may have to disconnect the internet.

I am talking about ALL of it. Some people are uncomfortable talking about certain issues like masurbation, pornography, sex crimes, and exploitation. But they are all very real, and we cannot hide that they are corroding our society, even if someone has a problem with these issues. One thing nice about this group is there isn't a personal identity involved. We can be more open to discuss our problems and/or opinions.
I had a problem with pornography (adult only.) I have "outgrown" that obsession, and am not afraid to talk about it. Later on, I realized how desensititized it was making me. I have managed to recover most of my sensitivity now and can see what effect it is having on our society. For ****-sake, it's all over the internet for our children to see! Their minds are still developing, and if this gets wired into their circuitry, the cycle will continue.
Bob, please consider a board to discuss this. It may not be the most popular, but if it helps ONE person, then isn't it worth it?

Autie Mel how does sex addiction have to do with mostly alternatives to meds like vitamins? I still think either addictions or relationships. Just my opinion. Love Phillipa

How about if for now we just include it at Substance Use, and then if there continues to be interest, I'll change the name?

It was tongue-in-cheek. I meant alternative - as in lifestyles.

Funny. I asked Dr. Bob aeons ago if addiction to things other than substances would belong on that board, and if I remember correctly he said no.
I tend to have a bit of an addictive personality, and have major problems with spending, food, the internet (smile) and anything else one could get addicted to. But knowing my tendencies, I have never allowed myself to get a real taste of substances.
I guess this means he's changed his mind?
