After
spotting a gorgeous young man on her way to the shops, Crystal Warren
couldn’t wait to speak to him on her way home. She’d spent her whole
grocery trip daydreaming about where they could sneak off for some
illicit sex.
Two
hours later, after flirting outrageously with the total stranger and
talking her way into his bed, she was back at home, delighted at how her
afternoon had panned out.
Crystal,
who lives in Brighton, was born in a Somerset town. Her parents split
up when she was five and she puts her chronic addiction down to
witnessing the breakdown of their marriage.
Crystal
lost her virginity at 15 with a school friend, and believes she became
an addict straight away. “I felt empowered after I lost my virginity,”
she says. “I loved the feeling of being wanted so badly by the boy I
lost it to.”
She
was soon having sex with boys her age and bedding someone new every
other month. By the time she was 17 she had slept with 40 people. “I
didn’t think anything of it at the time,” she says. “I thought all the
girls in my village were experimenting, too.”
Crystal claims she has always practised safe sex. She isn’t able to have children but ensures she doesn’t contract any STIs.
“I’d
begin to feel hungry for sex,” she says. “I’d go on the prowl for men
on my lunch breaks. If I didn’t manage to have sex I’d be unproductive
all afternoon.
“At
the weekends, I’d leave the house in the middle of the day to find men
at pubs or coffee shops to pick up and take home. The feeling of
satisfaction is almost instant.
“If
I go without for a few days I start to feel desperately low, depressed
and lack energy. I begin to see men as sexual objects. Walking along the
street my mind races with thoughts of sex, especially with younger
men.”
While
she’s notched up more than 1,000 lovers, Crystal has managed to hold
down relationships with some of the men she’s slept with. Her first came
at 22 with Mark, then 19.
“On
a bad day I’d have sex with seven different guys in 24 hours, sometimes
a few at a time. It was difficult to fit it all in the day. I would
sleep with a man in the morning, one at lunch and then as many as
possible in the evening.”
She
adds: “I never have a problem approaching guys. But every now and then I
get ‘I’m not that sort of guy’, or ‘I have a girlfriend’.”
“I
know I’m a sex addict, but I can’t face getting professional help,” she
says. “Sex is the only thing that makes me feel good about myself. I’m a
member of online dating website CougarLife.com, which helps me find men
who can keep up with my high sex drive.”
