Can a sex addicted aspie stay faithful?

Post Reply New Topic

Can a sex addicted aspie stay faithful to one person? If not, please explain what you think their thought process might look like as far as why they are unwilling or unable to.

just change the term "Aspie" to "person" and ask the question again.

but I think the only way you can really make it work is if you either take the term 'sex addicted' or 'faithful' out of the equation, other wise it is probably hopeless.

There is such a thing as an aspie that is addicted to sex? If that person is a woman, where can I sign up? Just kidding...Pardon my ignorance - I mean no harm here. To attempt to answer...I think that it is possible, but if that person wants to be faithful, then every time he or she thinks of "cheating", he or she needs to remember how important that relationship is to the person and the one that he or she might be cheating on and to realize that it is not worth cheating. If the addiction is really bad, consult a therapist about that...there are ways to beat addiction - but it is very difficult to do so.

My bad. I asked the way I did b/c I was thinking about my aspie bf or in reference to my aspie bf when I wrote it.

I'd have to question if a sex addicted person of ANY neurological type could "stay faithful". If you're speaking about a guy?? Not a chance.... imho, being a guy myself....

Sure, if his or her mate also happens to be a nympho/satyr.

They can if they decide to.

Must you always add a picture of "the hand?"

If your partner is as sex-addicted as you, then yes.

Yes. Anyone who goes on about "waaaaaah i cant get secks" gets a picture of a hand. It's quicker and much more efficient...

Plus, the concept of sex-only relationships makes it harder for men like me that want a lifetime commitment first to actually find a potential partner...

Yes he can if he wants to. If you want to be sure about it, just ask if he has some time, explain to him how you feel. if he loves you, he can decide not to cheat. everyone has to dcide not to cheat. being addicted to sex might make it a bit harder, so maybe you have to help him a bit

Yes!

Yes, it would be hard and they would have to turn away from any temptations the moment they realise they are there. They would probably need treatment too.

I watched a documentary about sex addiction on discovery health, and if what they say is true, it's as hard if not harder for a sex addict to stop their behavior as, say, a drug addict or alcoholic. For an aspie it might be worse because the obsession would be stronger.

But-- I think a sex addict could stay faithful as long as they were able to satisfy themselves with their partner, and as long as their addiction wasn't group sex or something.
