Sex is one of God\u2019s good gifts for a man and a woman to enjoy within the bounds of marriage. We have a tendency, however, to satisfy our deep longings for intimacy in unhealthy or even addictive ways, which usually results in brokenness and pain.<\/p>\n
In February 2006 on her TV show, Oprah Winfrey interviewed people with sex addictions, such as Amy, who said:<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not about sex with me. It\u2019s about the intimacy, or being close to someone, or feeling needed. Even though I\u2019m totally out of control, I still feel that I am in control for that moment. I\u2019m trying to think [of the] men that I\u2019ve slept with, and I honestly can\u2019t remember\u2014just 70 to 75, probably somewhere around there.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m tired of being alone. I don\u2019t want to be this way. I want to feel good enough within myself to not feel like I need to do this. I want to change. I want things to be better.<\/p>\n
