Wow, thanks everyone. I am so surprised where this thread took off to. I'm still digesting this all. :eek:

You're not responsible for random strange reactions so please: don't be discouraged. There are a lot of helpful people here. It's not really a 'Sociopathic collective ' (but I'm so keeping that label. Priceless:D:).

I wouldn't worry about it. Sometimes someone posts in a thread and takes it in a direction the OP never dreamed it would go.

I'm really rarely here, but when Randall told me what was going on with that poster, I knew I had to trot over here and see if she was really as bad as he said. Not surprisingly, she was. :)

Now that the distraction is gone, I imagine you'll get some helpful replies.

Hi, Lyric! We haven't had a flounce like this in a while.:)

I actually do have a suggestion for the OP.

For a ritual to reduce or control sexuality, you might consider looking at myths about castration or emasculation; they crop up in a variety of traditions and you could invoke one (symbolically!) as part of a spell.

Thank you! that is very helpful. I will look into that, I think you may have something there.

I've struggled if i should post this or not for weeks. It's highly personal, and I don't share it with anyone. But thanks to web anonymity, I feel like I have the guts to ask for some direction.

I've struggled with sexual addiction in various forms most of my life. I'm a fan of anyone and everyone being free with their sexuality, but mine is out of control and has done a real number on my life. I've tried therapy, medication, but nothing works. I've started to seek magickal solutions, i've made a talisman and working on other options.


I have also struggled with addiction issues throughout my life.

As another member suggested first it is best to understand the motivating factors for the addiction. People do not develop addictions because they are living a truly happy and fulfilled life most of the time. Get honest with yourself. What are you distracting yourself from by using sex? When you can understand these core contributing factors you can start working magick to eliminate or reduce your struggle with that factor.

I love using Crystals, amethyst is widely used to help aid in breaking addictions. I often would carry a magick satchel around with me to boost the effects of whatever I happened to be working on within my recovery. Found this to be very useful.

Best wishes!
