A MAN has revealed he lost his virginity to his sister and then had a sexual relationship with her for three years.
Whilst living in their family home, the siblings even came up with a plan in case their mother walked in and caught them doing the deed.
Keen to open up on the situation, the anonymous man took to social media to reveal all, leaving many horrified.
Posting on Reddit, on the thread, the man wrote under the username @Unnoticed101 and titled his post ‘I had a sexual relationship with my sister.’
He confessed: “I’m typing this for two reasons - the first reason is to go into more detail about it, I shared this story with some people on here but I didn't go into too much detail.
“The second reason is to get this off our chest, I talked to my sister about this and we both agreed it would be good if we finally shared this secret with people even if it is anonymously.”

To give some context to the situation, the man revealed: “We grew up pretty poor, our mum was single, and our dad was/still is out of the picture.
“We lived in a c****y little mobile home where there were only two rooms, one for our mum and one for us.
“The room was so tiny, no joke we could only fit one bed (twin size if that matters) and a dresser.
“Me and my sister ended up sharing a bed for a good five or six years.

“Anyway, one night when we were trying to sleep I felt her butt rubbing up against me (you can probably see where this is going).”
The man explained that “one thing led to another” but they didn’t do the deed.
However, the next evening, things went to the next level.
He admitted: “The next night we ended up losing our virginity to each other.

“That's pretty bad but what's worse is that It didn't stop there, because we ended up having a sexual relationship for a good two or three years afterwards.”
The man explained that he and his sister would have sex during the evening, when their mother expected them to be asleep.

“We had a whole strategy figured out in case our mum walked in but that never happened.”

Things came to a halt when the family of three moved home, as he continued: “We ended up moving out to a nicer house where we got our own rooms, that's when it just stopped.
“Once in a while we look back on it and we both get sick and cringe about how we were each other's first.”
Despite their sexual relationship, he confirmed: “Outside of that we still have a healthy normal sibling relationship.”

Dealing with sex addiction
IF you, or someone you know, is dealing with a sex addiction, here's everything you need to know...
Seek Professional Help: Consulting a therapist who specialises in sexual addiction can be very beneficial. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and other therapeutic approaches can help address underlying issues and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
Join Support Groups: Connecting with others who are experiencing similar challenges can provide support and understanding. Groups such as Sex Addicts Anonymous (SAA) offer a safe space to share experiences and gain insights.
Set Boundaries: Establish clear boundaries to avoid triggers and situations that may lead to addictive behaviours. This might include limiting internet usage, avoiding certain places, or ending unhealthy relationships.
Develop Healthy Habits: Engage in activities that promote well-being and fulfilment, such as exercise, hobbies, or volunteering. These can help redirect energy towards positive outlets.
Mindfulness and Stress Management: Practices such as mindfulness, meditation, and yoga can help manage stress and reduce the urge to engage in addictive behaviours.
Education: Learning about sex addiction can help you understand your condition better and recognise patterns and triggers. Knowledge is a powerful tool in managing addiction.
Accountability: Having a trusted friend or sponsor to check in with can provide accountability and support. This person can help you stay on track with your recovery goals.
Avoid Isolation: Isolation can exacerbate addictive behaviours. Try to maintain social connections and seek out healthy relationships that offer support and companionship.
Set Realistic Goals: Recovery is a journey and setting small, achievable goals can help you stay motivated and track your progress.
Medication: In some cases, medication may be prescribed to help manage symptoms of sex addiction, particularly if there are co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression or anxiety.
