The initial paragraphs explain the issue.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AddictionI love sex, a lot, always have, but I do not engage in it if it is having a destructive influence on my life. Therefor, I am not addicted.

 I was the same as you when I was younger. I acted on my impulses with a lot of different guys, BUT I was on the pill so I never worried about pregnancy. I also never confused sex with love. I had sex because I liked it, NOT so I could catch a guy. Big mistake! My husband knew I was very promiscuous when we met, but he was not jealous. I found out later that it actually turned him on, so I was lucky. Find you a guy that accepts you for you. If he wants you to change.....DROP HIM. Enjoy life, but be smart and be careful.

 You claim that you are in the age group 18 to 21. Well addiction to sex may indeed exist, but in my youthful years (and many since), it would seem that most everyone was somewhat addicted to sex if with the right partner. On the other hand, I knew girls who frolicked all about in the 1960s-70s, and I was no prude either. Bottom line is that, when young, we all get really horny most of the time. Call that addiction if you choose, but at about that age I think that a very robust sexual desire is just normal. It's also called "raging hormones." The wise play safe.

Some people never have a real relationship. They have often been abused in some way and they usually do not feel pleasure with sex, it's more of a compulsion and or a dominance issue/power play for them.

 Sex Addiction is like any other addiction. Its the pleasure you get from it, the chemical reaction that you are addicted to. I've experienced being with a sex addict, and its not an easy thing to go through. He would constantly punish himself and hate himself for his overactive sexual drive. I also was a bit of a sex addict myself, but it was mostly because I was insecure. I was addicted to the feeling of being wanted. I grew up being shy and ignored, and having people tell me i was ugly or a loser or whatever. Feeling attractive and sexy just gave me such a thrill! I just couldnt get enough of it! And it destroyed a relationship I was in at the time. Underneath most addictions is the desire to escape, to feel loved and wanted. So just be patient with yourself. Try to dig deeper and ask yourself why you're addicted. Why you feel you cant get enough. Thats my own experience of it, it may be different for you though.
Good Luck,
Love and Peace hun x

 I think your right in one aspect it is labeled to make things easier but it is also true. I consider myself a sex addict I want it all the time. Think about people who are adrendium junkies, they have to have it. People who have to have a cigarette, those who need a certain food. Anytime you need something to excess instead of wanting it is an addiction. I wish I could cum all day but that can never happen. I just love the beauty of sex, the closeness the feelings, the togetherness, the pleasure-I prefer it with someone else put I also enjoy masturbating. Yes it can and is addicting hence they have meetings and counseling for it. I do not think it is a bad thing but it needs to be controlled. It has ruined many marriages and relationships. That is where masturbation has to come into play, to keep from straying. If you are going to be addicted pleasure is one hell of a thing to be addicted to. If it alters your lifestyle then it needs to be address in counseling and therapy.
