Orgasm: Wondering if this is affecting your daily functioning or interfering with your activities of daily living?. Is it causing u distress?. Is it causing harm to your relationships?. If any of those concerns occur, please consult your family doctor for evaluation.

This sounds normal : This sounds like a normal urge for a male of your age. I would not recommend a drug to fix a normal physiological function otherwise you will create dysfunction.

Why is it a problem?: I agree with the answers from drs. Ali and rothman, but I have a question. Why is an otherwise normal sex drive causing you distress? Do you do things you regret? Is this harming anyone in any way? If so, speak with your physician. If no one is being hurt, why do you find a normal sex drive upsetting?

Look differently: Sex addictions do exist, but what you describe, by itself doesn't seem like one. If it isn't, then the problem might be your worry about it. Either way, i think you'd find a longer conversation of benefit, with a trusted pro.
