You are not a sex addict. You are a victim of shame.

Letter to myself:

It is going to be ok. Your sexual desires are healthy and natural. Love yourself. Touch yourself. Become comfortable with yourself, so you can have a functioning social life with healthy people. Life is so much better once you abandon shame and embrace your sexuality.

Letter from my sex addict:

I hate myself. Life sucks. I wish I did not feel sexual attraction the way I do! It’s so painful keeping it inside, and every time I lust, I feel so ashamed.
