Sex addiction comes with a plethora of negative connotations and preconceived notions. While essences of truth exist in stereotypes, the sex addict archetype of an international playboy with an ostentatious sports car and an icy aortic valve under his tailored suit is in the minority. We heard about sex addiction from a female perspective<\/a>, now let\u2019s hear from a guy who throws the \u201cI\u2019m a sex addict\u201d line at women and actually means it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Due to the candor *Max gifts us with in this interview, he prefers we don\u2019t share much about him in order to shield his identity. What I can say about Max is that he\u2019s a hard-working, well-traveled, nearly thirty, family-oriented gentleman. He opens all my doors and is big on \u2018yes ma\u2019am\u2019 and \u2018no ma\u2019am.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: Who do you have sex with?<\/h3>\n

A: Women. I\u2019ve been part of threesomes with two guys, but our sole focus is on the girl. Our, um\u2026 swords, never touch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: What do women think when you tell them about your addiction to sex?<\/h3>\n

A: I actually find my female friends are more receptive to its legitimacy than my guy friends. I get met with a lot of \u201cyeah man, we all like sex,\u201d or \u201cdoes that actually work on the ladies? Maybe I\u2019ll give it a try next time.\u201d It\u2019s taken me some time to actually acknowledge that it goes beyond just craving sex. That actually becomes problematic. <\/span><\/p>\n

To quote Will Ferrell\u2019s character from Blades of Glory, \u201c<\/span>I’m a sex addict. It’s my cross to bear. It’s a real disease with doctors and medicine and everything!\u201d <\/span><\/i>I actually have been to a doctor about this! Sex literally consumes me. I wake up with daily erections<\/a>, my dreams are all of a sexual nature. It\u2019s not glamorous.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: How does your sex addiction manifest in relationships?<\/h3>\n

A: Ninety percent nightmare, ten percent awesome experiments. The ten percent is great, because I\u2019m always looking for new toys<\/a>, creating new scenarios and new roles<\/a> for my partner and I to try together. I don\u2019t ever let things get boring, sexually, and it\u2019s amazing to unearth aspects of our sexuality that we never knew existed. <\/span><\/p>\n

The ninety percent nightmare\u2014well I\u2019m not proud of this, but I have quite the propensity towards cheating. I hate it, but if my partner and I are separated for whatever reason and an opportunity for a sexual encounter arises, I succumb to the temptation. I feel awful even saying that out loud. I\u2019m not giving myself a pass, but it\u2019s caused a lot of heartbreak on my end, too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: How has it caused you heartbreak?<\/h3>\n

A: I really do love, very deeply, and I can see how I could be perceived as a \u2018user\u2019 or a womanizer, but nothing could be farther from the truth. I\u2019m a really awkward guy, I don\u2019t consider myself to be particularly good looking, nor am I wealthy in any capacity or drive a fancy car *laughs* just to annihilate that stereotype. It\u2019s truly a compulsion. I never intend to hurt anyone, although I am very aware that I do. My actions hurt me because they hurt those I care about, all because I can\u2019t control myself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Q: Are there any positives?<\/h3>\n

I meet some interesting people and have some very interesting experiences. I\u2019m open to what many people might consider an \u2018underworld\u2019 of sex. I have some crazy stories you would have to experience to believe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So while Max\u2019s friends may try\u2014and fail\u2014to use a fraudulent addict diagnosis as a golden ticket to random women\u2019s bedroom tour, Max finds the daily struggle to be very real. But this certainly isn\u2019t the last we\u2019ll hear from Max. We\u2019ve asked nicely and he\u2019s answered our call to give us insider information on some of his favorite kinks and how he discovered them.<\/span><\/p>\n

As always, don\u2019t believe everything a man tells you\u2014or anyone for that matter. However, go out on a limb and lend an ear, for the facts may be juicier than any fiction.<\/span><\/p>\n
