Sex as a coping mechanism

Anyone else have this problem? I feel down and my sex drive kicks in. It gets in the way of making real connections and I can’t even really fully function sexually like I used to. It’s like in my teens I could walk the walk but couldn’t talk the talk, in my twenties I could do both, now in my thirties I can talk but can’t walk the walk. I keep getting to the point of sex in relationships and then it’s a disappointment. Idk. I think I’m a sex addict. I have various issues. I wish My mind didn’t turn to sex everyday at like noon when I feel the slightest demotivating feeling. I could be way more productive and I consciously know sex is trivial ish but my subconscious is just like forcing me. I think I have intrusive sex fixations I wish I had more control over my desires. I’m such a ■■■■! Idk. TMI probably but what do you do if you have this issue? I spend hours finding random hookups and then I don’t even enjoy them, it’s this shame spiral. I just want to focus on my art and music but I feel so distracted.

You need to teach me how to have these sexual interactions that make you feel better. If they don’t make you feel good anymore, maybe it is time to stop.
