Woman with Sex Addiction

‘I'm not sure what is going on. I’m in my 40s, married with one child and I may lose my job because I cannot stop sleeping with men at work. I have gotten caught once by a superior (not my direct superior) and I was almost fired but I seduced that superior to save my job. I have lost two other jobs for the same reason and my husband does not know. Recently, I had sex with a manager while we worked overtime on a project and a female colleague caught us. I just feel like I cannot help myself. I know I am cheating on my husband and he knows that I enjoy sex. We have a good sex life but I get urges to have sex even at work and cannot wait until I get home to partake. If I could, I would have sex 7 times a day. I have even fantasized about some of the women at work. This has to stop. I really cannot lose my job, my marriage and my family! Untimely urges in Outer Banks, NC

Dear Untimely Urges, 

I can see the urgency in your situation. It is healthy to have a good sex life. However, from what you have described, it appears that you may have a sex addiction which may sound odd but it does exist. I would recommend connecting with a sex therapist in your area as soon as possible. As this may be a discreet issue, I would also recommend video counseling as it provides the privacy and confidentiality you may need if you are concerned about going into an office. However, there may be some in person sessions depending on the style of therapy used.
