anthony,

I used to think it was just a common trend amongst the military community but now that I've been learning more about PTSD, there seems to be a link to risky sexual behaviour and men suffering from PTSD. But the only studies I can find are based on men with childhood sexual abuse backgrounds.

I went through a similar time in my life but it tended to repeat itself. The first time around, I drank a bottle of whiskey a day and slept with any girl I could find. That lasted around 6 months and then some friends that I thought drank to much told me I had a problem, so I stopped. Well I stopped drinking every day. I had 3 different girlfriends at one time, all of them knew about each other and competed for my time. But they never met one and other. I had a long term girlfriend for a few years and when ever I was away, I would cheat on her.
