Many have struggled with the type of addiction so you are not alone in this. This is very harmful for one's self-esteem. I will pray for God to deliver you from this.

This is probably more well suited for the women's forum. Not all on the site have good intentions and this could be taken as an invitation among such people.
Also since posts are not blocked from the rest of the internet anyone can see it, sign up and try to take advantage. The women's forums , however, are not open to the public or to men.

For some reason people seem to think that sexual drive should start and end with marriage, as if it is natural to have 0 desire, marry, and poof, God turns on reproductive hormones/desires. The opposite is the reality - people marry not only for love and stability but also for a partner to share their bodies with.

You are female and nearly 30, and increased sex desire coincides with the amount of time left you are likely to be able to conceive. I wouldn't be so hard on yourself.

It’s like any other addiction. It releases chemicals that make you feel good. When you need a little chemical adjustment your body creates urges to equalize. The more you obstain from anything that raises dopamine, the less addictive it becomes. It’s not a male/female thing, it’s just biology.
