ASK KEN: Sex in Sobriety – Does the Obsession Go Away?

March 17, 2018

In the latest segment of Ask Ken, a WEHO TIMES reader asks recovery and intervention specialist Ken Seeley for his advice on sex in sobriety. Does the obsession to have sex with multiple partners and the feelings of never being satisfied go away in sobriety?

“I’m six months sober and I have not had sober sex yet. Every time I think of having sex, I remember I used to have sex with three different guys and then go home and still be horny and I would have to beat off. It was never-ending. And it was never enough. Does the obsession to have non-stop sex go away? Or will I be awakening the beast within if I decided to have sex?”

Readers are encouraged to ask (anonymously if they choose) about drug addiction, food addiction, alcoholism or any subject that deals with gay men and their connection between meth and sex.
