Thanks for sharing this.
the idea of hunting, searching, and finding some level of intimacy ( no matter how false ) has stolen so many hours and days of my time that its painful. It never really delivers connection for me , and only increases my isolation and feelings of brokenness.
The remedy I have found is to avoid it altogether and seek healthy relationships and intimacy of all types- emotional, physical (non sexual) as well as sexual intimacy. Never found that online or from personal ads.
It's been a long time since I got stuck on that old road- I need to get my adrenaline fix and needs for affirmation in more lasting ways. I am grateful for the honesty u bring to this topic.

And, sorry, but I agree with the other replies, it is very likely related to your abuse history. It's frustrating how many ways childhood sexual abuse infects our lives...
I fully believe the science and argument of "early mental-imprinting." Consider that for many of us, our first orgasms and first sexual experience is with said abusers. I did the math once: My first 1000 or so orgasms were with the perps, via prolonged anal intercourse (over 7 year period, age 7.5 to 14+). Some would call that "imprinting". I call it "engraved into my brain's core with a hot iron."Its hell! Its true HELL. I was never with my wife, in the sanctity of our bed, when those four creeps were not there with me. NEVER! Its a life-sentence for us; Its an orgasm for them! I have zero tolerance for perps and those who protect them, mostly because of this life-long residual burden. EDIT: I know for a fact that some perpetrators read here at MS. Not much of what we say and xperience burns through to their hearts or emotions. But I hope they can at least realize (intellectually or emotionally) that this sticks with us....forever!

I can relate. It is easy for us as survivors to become addicted to things. Constantly working in this in my own life. Great post and topic
