Is sex like an addiction?

Do some people really NEED sex? Like they can't function without it?

I would like to have a sex-less relationship, but I've noticed that when we go without for a while, my boyfriend gets more determined to have sex. He starts making dirty comments/jokes, grabbing me, touching me more, etc. He's not the nice man I know, he gets scary. Sometimes I really have to fight him off.

I don't understand it because I can go forever without. Do some people just NEED to have sex?

Yup yup, it realeases chemicals in the brain. People can harp all they want about it being about love, but love is a chemical too- technically, we as humans are meant to remate every four years to procreate. Ever wonder why you have to "refall" in love? The seven year itch? etc. There are lots and lots of websites on this and information.

That said- if the boyfriend is forcing it, pushing, guilt tripping her, then it needs to stop.
