A sex addict has confessed that her constant desire to get her needs satisfied has made it 'incredibly difficult' to find a 'good suitor.'
The unnamed woman - who revealed she is nearly 30 - took to Reddit in a thread titled Sex Addiction to open up about her obsession.
The sex-crazed woman admitted that her desire with getting tangled up in the bed sheets has gotten in the way of her journey to find true love.
She lamented about her infatuation with sex as she lifted the lid on why it has 'driven good suitors away.'
The addict claimed that her high sex drive has landed her in hot water as most men tend to ditch her after sleeping with her.
Although she yearns for a fairytale romance, she revealed that her constant desire for sex has left partners wanting less of her.
She admitted that she has yet to find a partner who is willing to 'work through these challenges' and candidly claimed that her addiction makes her feel 'worthless.'
Having already sought help with therapy, medication and self-discipline, the sex enthusiast took to the discussion forum to beg people on the web to help her with her saucy situation.

The post was titled: 'Being a woman who struggles is the most isolating feeling.'
She confessed: 'I've tried therapy, self-help strategies, medication, and self-discipline, but managing my high sex drive remains incredibly difficult.
'Sex has become a coping mechanism, leading to compulsive behaviors that make me feel disconnected from myself.
'It's hard to meet men who want a real relationship when waiting beyond a few dates feels impossible, and often, after intimacy, serious commitment doesn't follow.'
Although men often swoon over her, after discovering her secret, they do not tend to hang around.
'I'm constantly told I'm beautiful, intelligent, and kind, but my sexual needs have driven good suitors away,' the addict added.
At the end of the post, the woman admitted that she felt lonely and heartbroken because of her addiction to sex.
She said: 'What makes it worse is that I genuinely want to marry and have a family, but I fear my behaviors might keep me from that. I'm almost 30, and while I love intimacy, I haven't found a serious partner willing to work through these challenges.

Although the woman was seeking advice, people on the web flocked to the comments section to reveal that they too were struggling with an addiction to sex
'I feel worthless and incompetent sometimes, and I'm looking for guidance or support from others who understand.'
Although the woman was seeking advice, people on the web flocked to the comments section to reveal that they too were struggling with an addiction to sex.
One person said: 'Thanks for sharing. I can relate and I have a lot to share on what has worked for me. I couldn't do one thing or the other, I had to find the right mix for me and finally it has worked.
'I attend 12-step meetings, I'm involved in support groups just like this one, I attend individual therapy and marriage therapy (I have found CSATs are better equipped to know the ins and outs of sex addiction, but finding the right fit is most important).
'I read everything about sex addiction, trauma, self-help and workbooks, I watch videos on the topics too. I also needed internet blocks and filters.
'I have a very high sex drive and always thought there was no way I could tame it or control it, it impacted my relationships, marriage, and friendships too. What I've learned is that urges and feelings are temporary, I do not have to act on it every time.
'Doing trauma work has helped a lot, getting in touch with my emotions and recognizing that when I have a desire to act on my urges or use my addiction to cope, there are a lot of emotions swirling in the background that I'm trying to quiet or numb. There might also be a lack of self-soothing, self-regulation and stress reduction skills, so it's important to build on those.
'Journaling has been extremely helpful in sorting through my thoughts during those times. I'm going to recommend some popular names to look up, they have books, websites, webinars, you name it, all of them have helped me a lot.
'Dr. Rob Weiss, Patrick Carnes, Stefanie Carnes, Alexandra Katehakis, Gabor Mate, Esther Perel, PBSE podcast (Mark & Steve). Long read, but hope this was helpful!'
Another user wrote: 'I hope and wish you much luck.'
Someone else said: 'I know the struggle too. I hope you find what you're looking for.'
