lmfaooooo i suppose mc is a bit of a sex addict because not only does he have to vocally talk himself out of not having sex, but punch himself like... good on you but... dude... you need meds. BUT THEY'RE SO CUTE I CAN'T. Theyre growing on me. Nanjo is adorable and im a sucker for tops who are down bad
Being promiscuous n unattached doesn't mean you're a sex addict
Do you know the definition of promiscuous or are we just throwing words around?
Promiscuity isn't same as sex addiction.
Addiction means compulsion. An inability to control your actions.
Promiscuity is just someone who likes to sleep around. By choice.
I think YOU don't understand what addictions are all about
Yet you were redundant in your definition? To be promiscuous is to be unattached. Most people who have sex addictions are promiscuous. Are you saying if I sleep with someone who has a sex addiction then I raped them because it was an impulsive decision? That doesn't add up. (FYI, Most people who are promiscuous are likely suffer from hypersexuality- which is a complusive disorder that makes them sleep around- or BPD. It's a common symptom.)
I know a lot about tid addiction. You may not necessarily be promiscuous to be a sex and love addict. You can masturbate or watch porn. It's called "acting in". It's not about hypersexuality. That's a different issue. And sounds like a medical diagnosis. "Acting out" is when you engage with other people sexually. When it's an addiction you literally feel like you will die without engaging in some kind of behavior that falls under the category of sex and love addiction. The name is misleading bcz not all sex addicts are promiscuous. The simply rely on the addition as an unhealthy mechanism to cope with their feelings. Go read the list from the 12 Steps of Sex & Love addiction. And their 12 steps text books and other text books in this subject. It is a coping mechanism in response to an emotional need. Not the physical ailment you are talking about. That's a whole different issue. So what I'm trying to say is that as a sex & love addict you CAN be promiscuous, not that you are one. But if you are promiscuous, by choice, then you don't have a sex & love addiction. Addictions takes all forms. It doesn't necessarily have involve someone else.
Every addiction will involve someone else. You don't get addicted to heroin without having another person introduce you to it, or give you the product. You can't be a sex addiction without having sex. Some people don't use addiction to cope with their feelings. Some do it to reveal stress, some do it because it feels nice, some do it because it's fun and gives them that thrill. Unfortunately, I don't have a Google degree and therefore cannot read books about other psychologist findings just because it sounds right or looks right. Socrates was accredited during his time until he was proven wrong. Freud was always seen as wrong until the recent sightings of "Boy Moms." I doubt someone who starts as a promiscuous will stay promiscuous by choice. Most people become promiscuous simply because of those same things I listed before with the addiction, as well as the emotional need you've referenced. No one sleeps with multiple people just because they want to, it's likely because of underlying trauma or " a coping mechanism in response to an emotional need."
And the ML in this story is definitely a sex addict. This man literally had to slap himself so hard he bleed to hold back from having sex. I doubt the average person has done that- especially to someone who is a sex partner.
Wait, how do you know that ppl who sleeps with multiple ppl don't want to?!? You just literally said some do it bcz they enjoy the sex. .....
Anyways
I think you missed the point of why he had slapped himself, and thus, why you had labelled it as his being a sex addict. You don't NEED someone to introduce you to sex. You don't NEED some one to introduce you to masturbation. You really don't understand Anything about sex n llove addiction even though I had given you resources. You don't NEED a psych degree to understand what it is once you learn you have that problem. In fact the majority of addicts Don't have degrees. Your refusal to learn about what addictions entails, even though I had given you resources, shows a lack of understanding and willingness to understand what addictions is all about.. Not ALL sex addicts are promiscuous. And ppl who are promiscuous, as in, they enjoy sex but don't use it as need to fulfill their emotional needs, are NOT sex addicts. You're really missing the point here. Without getting too personal I will say I have personal issues with this so I know what it's like. Anyways, he had slapped himself in order to show his sincerity and start the relationship NOT based on sex, but he's holding himself back because although he's Really hooked on sex with NanJo he wants to really just date him without the sex. He's not an addict. He's just really promiscuous. I'm sorry but you REALLY don't know what sex addiction is REALLY like. And just bcz someone likes sex doesn't mean they are addicts. Nobody needs to introduce you to Sex. It's a natural response as you grow. Same with masturbation. Porn, is a bit different, but still you can stumble upon it without a literal person introducing you to it.
I didn't want to butt in but I think you're not in the right mind to discuss this with strangers online given you've revealed that you have personal issues regarding a fictional character being called a sex addict.
But, I just want to point out you're doubling down on making MC look bad which I'm sure wasn't your intention because from your replies, it seems you've been projecting onto him.
If you have to self harm by punching yourself to "show sincerity" to the other person, that's manipulative, not earnest!
That's even worse than not being able to stop yourself from having sex. I personally don't believe that's MC's intent but if that's your take... oof. You normalize quite some dangerous behaviors I lowkey feel sorry for the people in your life.
You said you have issues, we can tell. So maybe take a rest from this site until you're ready.
WoW You think you KNOW me?!? Some RANDOM ASS online person who has never met me in real life is "projecting" and conjecturing about me. When I m said I have "an issue with it" I don't want to go into my personal life so I'm saying I ",have an issue rather I have the issue". I'm Not projecting ANYTHING.
What I have said regarding MokYeon is that, from what I've seen of his character he is not a sex addict. I'm just gonna send the article to the cheer t now instead of OP since you've so-kindly butted in.
Here, have a good read.
MokYeon aside who may or may NOT be a sex addict. What addiction is and what the differences ARE regarding promiscuity. I also have no idea what you meant b trying to protect or stand up for his character. I simply "diagnose him" from what I've seen so far of his character. And the ONLY way to identify his being a sex addict or just simply being promiscuous is clear for me in this case. Or ONLY A POSSIBILITY. Not an actual diagnosis.

Ir is a POSSIBILITY that he *COULD* be a sex addict.. Not that he is. From what I've seen. He simply a promiscuous person..I don't care what you think. This is what addiction looks like. Across the board. Not just in application to sex addiction..There's NO WAY you can ID himnas a sex addict. But you can DEFINITELY refer/subscribe/ to his being PROMISCUOUS. What I'm saying is that being promiscuous doesn't necessarily mean one has an addiction, but having addiction CAN cause promiscuity.
First of all, like I said, he's trying to not get into NanJo's pants but rather (into) his good graces. From your response of what a sex addict lookslike, beyond "punching yourself" is how much the addict can take before going wild (or crazy). MokYeon wasn't trying to get laid outside his relationship. Not once he's hooked on NanJo. Ral sex addict has an inability to control their sexual behavior, that's why it's called an addiction. And they do not act the way MokYeon act now. It's probably a much more insidious behavior that is both harming to the individual themselves other ppl.
And he wasn't trying to "show his sincerity by punching himself". He literally did that to prevent HIMSELF from "attacking" aka, getting sexual with NanJo, and thus, be a REAL date and (hopefully will be able to) form/ start a real relationship with NanJo NOT based on physicality. I think you're definitely the point. Also, if you and OP things that eat, that's you. Not other ppl. And do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT presume to KNOW me or anyone else on the Internet either. You know NOTHING about me. Do NOT confuse fiction w/ really. And NO I want NOT projecting myself in any way. A LOT of ppl throw that word around without n knowing anything or what it means. You are HIGHLY self-important and overstepping your line when you PRESUME things about me and then telling me "what to do". Are you my mother?!? You have zero right to tell me what to do. What and you think ofr is YOUR business and what I think of me is MY business. I'm sure you've heard that phrasing before. And don't be getting personal bcz that is RUDE and SELF-RIGHTEOUS and PRESUMPTUOUS.
*I think you and OP has missed the point. Also, you and OP think that is what he is, not that he IS one. He could be one. Not that he IS one. We can agree in his being promiscuous, but nothing else beyond that INDICATES he a sex addict. Since you know NOTHING about sex addiction. Sex addiction doesn't always manifests itself as being promiscuous and vice versa. And sex addiction comes in many forms.
I don't see how this proves anything? So you have a Google degree and just copy pasted the first thing you saw? Did you confirm these were reliable with reliable evidence? Did you confirm these are actual doctors?
Didn't think so
Owo hwansuh and na-in??? I always cackle seeing geumryang's snake form, it's so cute and squishy looking. Frottage is hot, these two are gonna be the best dads I just know it, they need more dialogue but they have such serene personalities
Dammit I find undercut dude hot from the start. NOne of the characters are ugly even though the artist clearly doesn't have same face syndrome! It's such a clear cross between stylized and semi realistic. Amazing
nothing abt this shitty manhwa is amazing lil bro. Go read something else. ur brain is deteriorating.
Pls take your antipsychosis, it's just pixels
tryna sound all smart lmaooo
Lmaoooo but shouting and crying IS what you do, nakwon. You're a mess dude. And so petulant lmaoo i didn't know korea also does frat house. I'm excited for the party mokhwa mentioned because it's been a while since we last saw the barista boys and wonil and the gang together. But I hope the last panel doesn't indicate gangwoo is on the move (forgot his name)
The petnames ick me at first but it's growing on me. And it's one of the things that made this couple unique so eh
Do we *have* to go through the scale of non-con, dub-con, and then full consent to get there? I was rooting for you, jerky and monster...
I'm so weak for the character design but why did he have to raise him welp just gonna stay for the porn
I wonder if na-in is also a deity/mythical animal? Taesun is referred to a kid despite na-in's supposed same ageness, meaning hwansuh might know his true age and the fact that they both knew who geumryang is. ALSO him and hwansuh reminds me of the classic trope of the raccoon dog and the fox duo because their visuals track. I hope I'm right, that would be so cute
