When is it too much a good thing?

[Weinergirl]

I've been reading through the posts as of late and I've noticed something. A few people have expressd concern over the amount of time they spend here at this site. The article about the white house internet porn "scandal" also piqued my interest in this.

I'm an extra virgin -virgin so I haven't been here long and I spend about 10-12 hours a week online on average. Maybe I have ADD; so I may not hit guru or experinced level for a awhile. My question is pertaining to addiction. How would you know you are over the line.

(*Let me say at this point I am not implying that I have the life experience or titanium molded balls to dictate how someone else spends their time. So please do not feel I am saying -any of the wise and distinguished members of this site have a problem. So ... Please do not be offended that's not my point. Heck I'm here-why would I go there.*)

I wanted to know your opinions on the "epidemic" of online sex addicts we've been hearing so much about lately. Is the internet (it's anonimity) drawing out a part of human nature that society dictates we keep politely suppressed. Personally I think it's just matter of balance. There a lot of things that make me who I am and I express myself (make an impression on the world around me) in a variety of ways. My profession, my hobbies, my relationships, etc. What do you think? What clicks off in some people that they become consumed by one thing.

Just what I'm thinking...

love

There is never too much of coming to literotica. I love it here and I have never thought that I was spending to much time here. And just because I spend alot of time here does not mean I don't have a life out of this web site.

I've met some of my best friends here, and hope to make more!

I guess I am an internet addict

and I am NOT talking about Literotica here ... *S*

I run a couple of sites and amongst them a FAMILY rated community related to a popular fantasy novel series ... so I do spend maybe more time on the web than is good for me ...

I would also call myself an internet addict cause some of the friends I have "on-line" I am missing like hell when not able to get on the web for more than one day .. thanks to the invetion of the sms and possibiluity of getting e-mails over your mobile phone!!!

But I would NOT declare myself addicted to on-line sex!!! Hell of a difference in my books between missing xyour friends otr going for the strictly erotic thrill ...

Did that make sense? I guess not but I have an excuse - I had to have a few drinks to digest my dinner *lol*

AWWWWW I'm blushing Jeff

 

[Jeff726]

You're cute when you blush! hehehe

 

[ShyGuy68]

I agree with Hecate here. One of the main reasons I'm so much on-line is to connect with my great on-line friends. It's more them I'm addicted to by now.

The sex thing isn't really that much a thing for me now as it was when I got on-line to start with. Yes I do visit the sited with naked women frequently, but I also get a lot of other information on-line. I don't really read any of the stories here on Lit, the main reason I'm here is this board!! lol

But I have to admit that I don't think I could quit the net cold turkey!

Are you saying there are times when you turn the Internet off? I'm sorry, I'm just not understanding you. A person would do this, why?

 

[*Eve*]

I think you've had enough of the internet when you forget what color grass and the sun is, and when you start to stink up the place because you haven't changed your underwear in days.

 

[April]

Ewwww! Stinky underwear! LOL

I'm a computer junkie. I can't go more than a day without a computer game or something. It's sad, but I don't want help, I just want a faster computer!

Am I feeding my sex jones?

I am cursed/blessed with a wildly overactive libido. It's a curse when my hubberspreckles is en absentia. Literotica is a nice and safe haven for me to get stupid with my libido. Particularly since the thought of actually being with someone other than my hubbydiddlysmooches is rather repugnant.

I come here and read the stories and share with him the ones that made me all hot and bothered. He reads them when he gets a chance and we have some wonderful email discussions that generally degenerate in a most lasciviously delicious manner.

Is this addiction then? Am I feeding my sex jones? Probably. But I can stop any time I want to. I am not addicted. I'm only online at literotica 23 hours a day, I have a FULL hour of free time, which I use to snooze. Of course, I keep it on, just so I don't miss anything.

Addiction isnt a bad thing unless it hurts you mentally and physically. I believe we are all addicted to the intelligent conversations we can have on varied topics (although sometimes the topics arent as intelligent)

thanks for the feedback

thanks for the feedback.

My name is Patryn and I am a netoholic. Really, I am. It started with the guy I met online, who later ruined my life, but that's another thread. I HAD to get home and talk to him. I used to spend hours with him online...I think our record was 13 hours straight. Now that I don't talk to him anymore, I log on because of boredom. I don't think I could quit the net cold turkey, because I would miss my friends like others have mentioned, but I don't consider myself an addict. If I had something else to do during those times, I'd do it instead of surf.
