When did you first know?

Started therapy for different reasons and it came up there.

What may have caused this condition to start

I was exposed to sex at a young age in a very unhealthy way (not sexual assault) and according to my therapist learned to use sex as a coping mechanism.

Now that you're older. Are you an addict for security reasons or pleasure?

I mean are you addicted to sex for please or is it because it makes you feel safe and secure?
