writes:Dear CupidHow do I cope? I think I'm a potential sex addict, just minus the action as I'm choosing to live an independent life for good valid reasons.I carn't stop thinking about sex and endless possiblites. Sexual intercourse is on my mind often and I feel over powered by intense feelings.How do I cope as now, sex is my favorite activity but I carn't bare to get close to people but it's the think I'm craving mostly in my life. I feel unable to go to the doctors to discuss my feelings as I don't think it would reflect well on me considering I'm someones mom. It's just one of those things were I feel that I have to keep it to myself. Any advice or support would be greatly appreciated

 You don't mention what your symptoms are other than you think about sex a lot. Most people do think about sex -- some more so than others especially when they aren't in a sex-filled relationship. But what drives people to become sex addicts (or nymphomaniacs) is that they require it a lot and will seek it out even while putting themselves in unsafe, unhealthy situations or will cheat on their partners.
If you are doing things that put you and your child into jeopardy, why wouldn't you seek help? Doctors and therapists are required to keep your issues private, so I don't think you would have anything to worry about in regards to your personal life.
Finally, if you want to see if you are truly addicted or have the potential to be addicted, you may want to look at: http://www.sa.org/ (Sex'd Addicts anonymous). They'll have literature and symptoms of what makes up a true sex addict. Hopefully you can determine for yourself whether you just have a high sex drive or whether there is a bonafide problem.
Good luck.
