I am afab and have always had insecurity and dysmorphia over my breast size. I hate feeling and looking small. I have been told by some people that I have big boobs, but my dysmorphia makes me think the opposite.

Today I had an experience that validated my feelings. I was in a clothing store and the associate asked me what size bra to get me, and I said my size. She looked shocked and was like "really?" and then she said are you sure? The other associate was baffled too, and she had very big boobs. They then measured me and I was measured as the size I said.

But this just validates how I feel. I feel like I look small and this makes me feel like I am. What do I do? How do I handle this?

I have recently decided to stop all sex with my husband and masturbation for two weeks. He's supportive of me in this challenge. I have been grappling with excessive masturbation and urges for sex that have been affecting my relationship and im hoping a bit of a break can help.

Im on day 5 and struggling so bad. All I think about is sex. Im so used to self soothing, masturbating to sleep, and having intimacy with my husband. I put so much of my self worth into sex, so I've been feeling bad about myself. And im beyond irritable.

Anyone have any advice?

Hi everyone. Just looking for some guidance because im not sure if i just have a high libido or if I am truly an addict.

Ive considered myself hypersexual and my therapist has said I am. Im 35, been with my husband for 7 years, married for 2. Before him I was a very promiscuous person and entertained many one night stands. Ive also been assaulted twice in adulthood.

With my husband he has a lower libido than me and I find I push sex a lot to the point where it has caused fights and I end up making him feel bad. My poor husband tries to keep up but he can't so he ends up taking care of me when he can't perform, which im grateful for. But I get so frustrated. I dont let him know how much I masturbate when he's at work, I dont want to make him feel inadequate. Other than frequency we have a very healthy sex life im content with quality wise.

I think about sex all the time. I masturbate every day sometimes multiple times a day and it never feels enough. I think about asking my husband for sex from the moment he gets home to the moment he leaves for work and get so frustrated with a no. I want to be better and be a better partner for him. He's so supportive and patient with me that I hate being like this.

How do I know when its a real addiction and what support can I seek out?
