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.1

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.0

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)4 -

I'm pretty sure watching someone else eat would be far less satisfying than eating or having a fun romp. No offense. Lol2 -

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.1 -

within reason, of course. many a teenage boy found that out the hard way.

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.

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 wise1
