I’m hooked on sex with random men - How can I cure my addiction?

DEAR DEIDRE: HOW can I cure myself of my addiction? I’m hooked on meeting random men who use me for sex.

I’m a gay man and I sometimes meet six to eight different men in a week.

I don’t think I’ll ever settle down in a relationship. I’m so promiscuous and while I can’t wean myself off it, I’d really love to get control of it.

I’ve known I was gay since I was around 13. I told my parents when I was 19.

They accept me and long for me to take a partner home to meet them but I always think, ‘What will the next guy be like?’. I can’t settle on one.

I go out most nights to meet strangers for hookups and sometimes in my lunch hour too.

I’m 30 and most of my friends have settled down. I would like somebody special in my life but I enjoy the thrill of risque sex.

Every problem gets a personal reply from one of our trained counsellors.

DEIDRE SAYS: You may be jeopardising your sexual health and that of your partners.

You’re confident these men are meeting for sex but what if they want your money or they’re violent? Secret meetings mean that you have no protection.

Your habit of risque sex is now an addiction but you’ll find help through the Pivotal Recovery Programme (pivotalrecovery.org.uk).

At meetup.com you can find people with mutual interests to give you a new focus.
