10 Signs You’re Dating a Sex Addict

Sex addiction is more common than you think. Find out if the person you’re in love with may be a sex addict. 

So you’re dating someone new and everything’s doing great. In fact, you may even see yourself with this person for the long-term. That is, until you start noticing strange things about your partner.

Are they keeping secrets from you? Or perhaps they’re cheating on you behind your back? Whatever it is, something does’t add up. However, have you considered that you may in fact be dating a sex addict?

Signs you’re dating a sex addict

1. They fool around with you. The thing is, if they cheated with you, they are also more likely to cheat ON you. And if this is the case with your partner, you have to watch out. They may even be fooling around behind your back. For a sex addict, cheating may come as second nature as they have no control over their urges.
2. Things just don’t add up. An active sex addict, as with any addict, would lie, deceive, betray, and trick people around them just so they can continue feed their addictions. Dating someone who you believe is a compulsive liar can be a glaring warning sign.
3. They masturbate too much. If you think they masturbate too much, then you’re probably right. Even if you’re having sex frequently, the fact that they are always masturbating is something that can be attributed to being a sex addict.
4. They are dodgy. It’s like they’re hiding things from you. They always have their phones with them and can’t leave them just lying around. They may even have passwords on their phones and they’re so secretive about their online activities.
5. They haven’t had long-term relationships. You think that you’re different and that you’re going to stick it through to the long haul with your partner. However, the fact that they haven’t settled with anyone and are always in one relationship after another should be something to keep you on your toes. Not being able to hold down a serious, long-term relationship can be a red flag.
6. They are demanding in bed. In fact, they are controlling. They want to take charge in bed, and maybe you like it for a while. However, they eventually don’t care whether you get off or not as long as they did. While this sign can be normal on its own, if it’s associated with the other signs discussed here, then your partner may be a sex addict.
7. They’re huge flirts. You may not notice it at first, but lately, you start to see it. Those sly looks at the woman on the other table, or that flirty chat with the bartender–these are warning signs as they may be priming those people up to be potential partners in their next sex escapades.
8. They’re manipulative. They don’t like it when the tables are turned against them. They make it seem like it’s your fault when you talk to them about their faults or mistakes. This will come to the point when you start to believe that they’re right.
9. They’re always suspicious. They may even be overly jealous and possessive. This is because they are displacing the blame on you when in fact it’s them who should keep a close eye on.

10. They have unusual sexual appetites. So at first the sex is wild and experimental, but you notice that they are highly sexual. Their sexual habits are way beyond your comfort level and you start to be disturbed. In fact, you may even feel like you’re being sexually abused or exploited.
