I tend to eat or have a strong desire to eat - even when I am not hungry. It has been suggested to me that maybe I am eating to in an attempt to satisfy insatiable carnal desires. Anyone else struggling with this? What do you use as a substitute for food and sex when you aren't hungry and can't attend to your sexual urges?

    I do substitute food for sex as food increases the serotonin in the brain. When I can't or shouldn't have either I read or do some other diversional activity such as shop, read or something crafty.

    I love food but I can't imagine it ever substituting sex. Or at least not good sex. You can never have an emotional connection with food. Not the way you can with a person.

    As someone that's recovering from an eating disorder I beg to differ! You can to a degree just like you can have varying levels of emotional connection with humans - for some it's just sex, for others it's making love. For some eating is just fuel in, for others it's a complex love hate relationship (we hate that we love sugary foods for instance)

    Clearly you have not seen me eat cheesecake! It’s orgasmic!

    I'm pretty sure watching someone else eat would be far less satisfying than eating or having a fun romp. No offense. Lol

    I feel for people who have a bad relationship with food. I can't imagine. I also wouldn't want to be in a position where any emotional connection could be stronger or more fulfilling than with another human being.

    There is no substitute for either, so the rational approach should be

    Preferably not at the same time, though. I think that would be messy.

    That’s why the baby Jesus gave us rubber sheets.

    I thought that was for when you finally have to substitute sex with an oxygen tank but I'm having a revelation now.

    For best results, aim at least for a zero-sum game, calorie wise:smiley:
