A WOMAN has revealed that she has had sex with over 200 people – despite only being 27.
And as a result of her bedroom antics, she has ruined friendships and become known as the “office sl*t”.
Not only this, but she confessed that she has also had three sexually transmitted infections and after hitting a new low – when she slept with her brother-in-law on a family holiday – she has realised that she has a problem.
Keen to open up about the situation, the anonymous woman took to social media to reveal all, leaving many open-mouthed.

She then shared: “So a little backstory. I have ruined quite a few friendships because of this.
“I also had the reputation of being the office sl*t but even given that, I didn’t think I had a problem until I hit a new low last month.
“Since then I have started therapy and I no longer live alone. I began keeping a journal.”
Reddit users were left stunned by the woman’s confession and many flocked to the comments to ask for more information, to which the woman continued to open up.
One person asked: “Would you have sex with even guys you find ugly? Or do you have to be at least slightly attracted to them.”
To this, the anonymous Reddit poster replied: “Yeah, there is usually some attraction. It could be physical or attraction to someone’s personality.
“But I have had sex with guys out of pity and because they showed me attention that I wasn’t attracted to.”
Another asked: “Did you mostly initiate sex or were you very responsive to people coming on to you?”
In response, the woman admitted: “I would say it’s a little of both…
“For me, it’s like a drug I can’t explain really well. But I get a high from having sex and giving pleasure.

Others focused on the health aspect, with one asking: “How many STDs do you have?
“Sorry, not trying to be a jerk but, the odds are against you if you had 200 partners.”

Dealing with sex addiction
IF you, or someone you know, is dealing with a sex addiction, here's everything you need to know...
Seek Professional Help: Consulting a therapist who specialises in sexual addiction can be very beneficial. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and other therapeutic approaches can help address underlying issues and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
Join Support Groups: Connecting with others who are experiencing similar challenges can provide support and understanding. Groups such as Sex Addicts Anonymous (SAA) offer a safe space to share experiences and gain insights.
Set Boundaries: Establish clear boundaries to avoid triggers and situations that may lead to addictive behaviours. This might include limiting internet usage, avoiding certain places, or ending unhealthy relationships.
Develop Healthy Habits: Engage in activities that promote well-being and fulfilment, such as exercise, hobbies, or volunteering. These can help redirect energy towards positive outlets.
Mindfulness and Stress Management: Practices such as mindfulness, meditation, and yoga can help manage stress and reduce the urge to engage in addictive behaviours.
Education: Learning about sex addiction can help you understand your condition better and recognise patterns and triggers. Knowledge is a powerful tool in managing addiction.
Accountability: Having a trusted friend or sponsor to check in with can provide accountability and support. This person can help you stay on track with your recovery goals.
Avoid Isolation: Isolation can exacerbate addictive behaviours. Try to maintain social connections and seek out healthy relationships that offer support and companionship.
Set Realistic Goals: Recovery is a journey and setting small, achievable goals can help you stay motivated and track your progress.
Medication: In some cases, medication may be prescribed to help manage symptoms of sex addiction, particularly if there are co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety.
