How Do I Overcome My Anal Sex Addiction?
Hi. I have been married for two years and I love my wife. Before I dated her, though, I had so much anal sex with my two previous gf's from college... and I mean, a lot. It came to the point that that was pretty much the way we did only. They loved it too and I became addicted. Now I feel that my marriage is suffering because whenever my wife and I have sex I feel like I only get aroused with the idea of anal sex. My wife has never and says she will never have anal sex. I know I shouldn't either, now. What can I do? How do I overcome my anal sex addiction? Now I find myself looking at anal sex porn and masturbating to the idea of having anal sex with my wife, since I know that will never happen. Please help.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Anal sex is not advisable because of many reasons. The prime reason is that your partner hardly gets any pleasure. Anal sex addiction is due to your perception and to overcome the addiction, your perception needs to be changed. I suggest cognitive therapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
