I am not promiscuous, not as in my younger days...now I just watch internet porn or think about it.   I Love sex and have since I can remember back to five years old playing with girls.  I expected the intesity to lessen with age, but I have come to find out it is not and I am more and more beginning to embrace my nature as it seems this is how I am wired.  Will the fire ever subside? Doctor: Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
