I suffer from A&ADD...

[airdvr 210]

I've invented a new affliction of which I suffer...A&ADD...which is short for Attention & Affection Deficit Disorder. I think I'll have a website, personals...people with A&ADD for people with A&ADD, meetings where people have to get up and admit they are 'attention hos'. That's number one in the 12-step program. I am busy thinking up the rest. Possibly some form of intervention.

The t-shirt and bumper sticker possiblilties are endless:

...DON'T Back off
...If you are too far away to read this, you are too far away to touch me
...Reach out and touch....me
...Got touch?
...Honk if you'd like to touch me
...A&ADD people do it with their hands
...Achtung baby!

In order to be diagnosed with A&ADD, you need to require continuous ST (sexual touching) or NonST and attention, 24-7...you have to crave it, the way alcoholics crave their next drink, and heroin addicts crave their next hit. You have to make
stupid relationship decisions, like choosing A&AP's (Attention & Affection Phobics), and be willing to pimp yourself out, just so someone will pay attention you. You
have to have used sex to get touch, and you have to have stayed with
someone just because they might touch or pay attention to you. From the foreward of the "Care and Feeding of A&ADD's"...

The perfect partner will touch us constantly and willingly, provide us with
endless attention and genuine affection. They will love on us where ever we
are, and won't hold back, or act all self conscious about it. They will
send us little messages and emails and call us, just because. When they are
with us, they will attend, make eye-contact, kiss us, hold our hands,
stroke us. Where ever we are, at least one of their body parts will be in
contact with at least one of our body parts at all times. They will say things
like "I miss(ed) you", "I enjoy you", and "You are delicious". They WILL
NOT withhold touch to punish us. They will not withhold touch from us
ever. And they won't manhandle us...we require TLC, gentle
sweetness, honest affection. Our ideal matches will be A&ADD sufferers,
just like we are. It is the only way that we'll ever have our needs met,
because only someone with A&ADD can understand someone with A&ADD. They will not find us suffocating, because we aren't...we are loving, affectionate,
extraordinary people who always give more than we get.

Charter memberships are only $5 and come with a certification suitable for framing. Care to join?

I'm not sure I would go so far as to say that I'm aflicted with any disorder... but I do occasionally enjoy some affection... and I don't get near enough hugs (real in lieu of virtual...)

I think its been a few months at least since I've gotten a hug...

FROM THE A&ADD HANDBOOK

How to know if you have A&ADD:

Rule #1: You are a 'love sponge'. You suck up undivided attention and affection like a dry sponge, and regularly wring yourself out all over the person giving it to you. Even when you are sick, you feel better when someone is loving on your person. In addition to making you feel better, just holding you tells you that someone cares about you even when you're sick.

Rule #2: We will call this rule "fools rush in", because you are a fool who rushes in. If you have A&ADD, you are passionate and romantic. If you click with someone, you fall head over heels in love and want to be with that person...as much as time and schedules permit. There is no such thing as too much time spent together. It is the only way to get your 'fix'. You can tolerate this sudden intensity, and in fact, you welcome it, because it means that there is a focus for all of your pent up affection. If it isn't released on a regular basis, you might implode. When you're not receiving attention and affection, you begin to wither and die. You need to feel like you matter, and you need to have someone who matters to you.

Rule #3: You are a sex addict. After all, you can't get any closer to someone than when you are making love, right? And you are all about attention and affection, and know that the seduction, quite literally, never ends. Sex is the ultimate _expression of both, and you like it, no, love it...in any form. You are a 'touch ho' who admits that you have used sex to get attention and affection, but you are not proud of it. You are the kind of lover that members of the opposite sex dream about, because you are selfless and all about pleasuring them. After all, it is in their pleasure that you derive so much of your own. You also realize that falling asleep together when you are spent is a critical element of lovemaking. Without that, you might as well just masturbate.

An addendum to rule #3...while you are a sex addict, even you have your limits. You love SA & A but also need NSA & A. That's because nothing says 'I care' quite like just laying in someone's arms without being handled like a piece of meat. NSA & A is not the same as SA & A, because while one says 'I care for you', the other says 'I want to fuck you'. Each has its place and they are not mutually exclusive, but both kinds of A & A are necessary for your mental health.

Rule #4: When full body contact is not an option, you regularly employ other ways of showing that you care, and you like the same courtesy. We are talking about texting, and emails, and phone calls, and real mail. It is the little things that mean the most. All are ways of saying, 'I am thinking of you, and if I were in your presence, I would be loving on you right now'.

Rule #5: You like to schedule regular 'appointments' for NSA & A and SA & A. You prefer to know when you will next see him/her again. This is imperative, because you need to know when you will get your next fix. This does not mean that you resist spontaneity...you love that..it's like a 'booster shot' of love. But it's only for in between times when you know for sure you're going to get your next fix.

Rule #6: You have made bad relationship choices, because you are willing to pimp yourself out to get what you need. You have beat the proverbial dead relationship horse, because you cling to people who are obviously not well-suited for you. You have overlooked hypochondria, stupidity, selfishness, meanness, dishonesty, thinning hair and/or baldness, absence of personality, humorlessness, substance abuse, tastelessness, and a host of other significant and not-so-significant character 'flaws', and were willing to do so simply because that person attended to you. Something, even if it's clearly and fatally flawed, is better than nothing. Being alone is the enemy, and you are NOT meant to be alone...except when you use the bathroom, and even that may be negotiable.
