How to get help with sex addiction? It's been a problem for me and I need help and it's affecting my family and my job because I keep meeting men at my job on their schedule and it's affecting my behavior and it's come to the point where my parents are going to make me quit my job temporarily to get help for this. I have urges that I can't stop. What should I do? Or quitting my job wont solve this and parents do a check in on when I go on my break that's the other option they gave me. They are worried about my safety. What can I do so I don't get into anymore trouble? My parents said they aren't doing this to control me it’s for safety reasons. My parents had to change my phone number and my parents don’t want anyone contacting me on my new number except for people that I know and not random guys I’m reaching out to hook up. I am allowed to be in a relationship but not random hook ups. They don’t think it’s safe for me to live this lifestyle of being promiscuous that’s why they acted like this. And my parents wanted to know their full name because they wanted to know who I was talking to. This wasn’t a punishment. It was for my safety. They don’t want to see me hurt or catch a disease. This isn’t related to the guardianship by the way. I know how to protect myself but I’m trying to be more distrest about it. What do you think about this?

Why are you addicted to sex for? It physically hurts. I prefer romance.

I think your parents do have a right to worry about you given the topics that you bring up.
