Its possible to do a drink binge, can one do a sex binge? ie go all out for clubs parties etc and score throughout, resulting in an equivalent comedown with various repercussions coming back at you? eg a sexual hangover?
I dont know of any research but my own experience indicates that a period of huge amounts of sex followed by abstinence generally leave me feeling down down down.
Yes more makes me want more, But I am not sure that I have suffered emotionally or psychologically as a result of a lot of sex. I don't think it can do that to you. You just get satisfied, a fair bit knackered and general sore about the nethers. But I can't remember having any kind of hangover effect in the way that booze and tiredness combine.
Be interesting to know what the government definition of 'binge sex' is. Cos if its at a similar level to their definition of binge drinking then I have had binge sex on my own before now.
I believe the World health Organisation definition for being a Sexaholic is that you are one if your appetites impact on your ability to live a healthy normal life. Their questionnaire is reproduced below. A score of eight or more suggest a sex problem.

LOL DG it looks like I need to find out what help is available.
I scored 50 but as I've never had sex on a park bench in a brown paper bag I think I may have a minor sex problem but I'm not a sexaholic and I can handle it.
You just cant get the bags in my size :shock:
I couldn't answer the quiz. It was too difficult to scroll down and type with one hand..
:wanker:
