I have been having a lot of romantic fantasy with women. I am struggling with these romantic fantasies because I want to get married and I want to to be ready when I am married.
A lot of my fantasies involve non-sexual touches that are loving. Such as me running my hair through a woman's hair, (I used to brush my sister and her friend's hair, it's a long running thing I have). I also fantasize about holding a women in my arms and hugging a woman. I fantasize about the yichud room, although I have no idea what goes on besides for the fact that they don't have sex. Yeah, if you haven't realized, I'm a sex addict. I really want to be intimate with a woman. I don't currently live outside myself, but I want to. I have no idea what love is, but I want it. Maybe I'm a love cripple, but I've never been in a relationship like that to prove it.

 

This I don't understand.

It's natural! This is how men are supposed to feel! How could it be that these thoughts are symptoms of a lustaholic?! I have these thoughts and fantasies too, and I'm here on GYE to work on all of it, but aren't there certain things that are just basic normal male feelings?!

The basic desire for intimacy is normal. It's the constant fantasizing and obsession that makes it a problem.

Besides for all the other crucial groundbreaking earth shattering revelations on this thread, do you not see the contradiction in your words?

"Already you have a woman (to lust after)", is the conclusion, and the opening is that women are unattractive

Maybe you can understand it like this: What you just said is like saying, "You already have a chocolate bar, why do you want more candy?"

maybe I do not understand because I do not have any attractions by women. But it seems if man is married his lust will be satisfied by wife?

You're attracted to men. Do you think if you have one man you'd be satisfied? If you're like everyone else you'd probably want more once you have it.


Cords, you're being a bit harsh.

I actually do not think so.
This is a public forum and you never know who will be influenced by what. 
For a fellow who is attracted to men and married to a woman and thinks about other men when he is with his wife and sees nothing wrong with that and has never been attracted to a woman and has never acted out (all his words), to tell all of us that it is absurd to lust after another woman when you are married to one, borders on the asinine. Nobody knows who he is, so he can say whatever he wants. If he is writing publicly, then be man enough to take it like a man. Wanna hide in the ocean like a submarine, then do so, but if you show your mast, the waters can get stormy.

Hay, no one said to agree or not to point out the wider held option. Just talking about bein a little more diplomatic, a little more trumplike.

I dont like the idea of being harsh on people. But Cords has a point. At which point do we just say "this is crazy!" If we make believe it makes sense then we are giving credence to it. I feel bad for the harshness. But, EB, I have to tell you, you are not even close to understanding your friends here. Maybe speak this out with someone.

Oh, Cords, btw, I am happily married. So there arent just single guys here

I'm sorry but that really bothers me. I agree that ehrliche.bochur is completely off track. I didn't say not to disagree I said you were being a bit harsh.

All you did was write one line calling what he wrote moronic. You didn't bother to explain why. 

The forum needs to be a place where everyone feels safe stating their views. If they're going to get flamed for saying something stupid, especially by a moderator, then you're going to scare away a lot of beginners. Maybe they're not man enough to take it like a man but they're also not going to be helped.

RS, there have been posters in the past who refuse to hear the thoughts of others which contradicts theirs. Perhalps i can hear harshness there (although it most probably won't work), my impression here (which could be wrong) is rather of someone willing to (at least) hear.
