Sundays mean one thing around GL HQ: Our Sunday Brooklyn Craigslist Missed Connection. This week, we turn to one that’s a bit different than the usual weekly choices. It’s not a Missed Connection on the L Train or anything like that. Rather, it’s an online Missed Connection. Read on:

Missing my sex addict pal that I connected with via CL a few weeks ago – m4w – 26 (Park Slope / CL)
Hey! It’s Peter Post, Postman Pete…I deleted my e-mail. read below and respond if you remember talking to me: Okay, to put it as articulately as possible: I am an attractive, successful, overly-educated, sarcastic, laid-back, fun, artistic guy who has been trying for quite some time to deal with my affliction. This affliction is centered around addiction. While I’ve been functional and able to control 99% of my life, one part of my life time and again spins out of control: my sex life.

Here’s the thing (as bad as it sounds and as bad as it is): I am in a committed relationship. Am I looking for a sound exit from it? YES. Will that happen overnight for me? NO. In fact, I live with this person.

I have not “acted out” in a long time. But I know it’s coming. And instead of be in denial about it, I am facing it. I’m not sure this is what my therapist has in mind, but…

…I am looking for a FEMALE in remotely similar circumstances. I know there are others out there like me. There must be. I need to know this to feel okay about myself. Sex is an addiction like any substance. Well meaning, intelligent, thoughtful, good-natured people can suffer from this, and I need to know you are out there.

I need you because I need to commiserate. First and foremost, I need you as a friend, a person to share stories with. We can comfort each other. But (as you should know), it could turn out to be more. Perhaps you and I can be a reliable outlet for our insanely pent-up sensual/sexual desires. I have not acted out in so long, and all the things I want to do are driving me CRAZY.

Anyway, I’m attractive, tall/thin, very educated/intelligent, full of good times. Let’s get the ball rolling ASAP. I know you’re out there. Please contact me. This could be as special as it could be FUN. 🙂

P.S. I posted something like this about three weeks ago and began communication with ONE person who was unbelievably promising. I wigged out and deleted my e-mail, so we fell out of contact. If YOU are still out there (and you know who you are), let’s start this back up. I can explain…

We told you it was different.
