Q: Sex addiction, or compulsive sexual behavior, is considered such when your sexual urges and impulses begin to negatively impact your life. If you begin to feel overwhelmed by your sexual impulses, consider finding a counselor who can help you develop a treatment plan. Some warning signs to look out for include:  Considerable money spent finding ways to fulfill your sexual needs (for example, buying pornography, visiting strip clubs, or hiring sex workers)  Feeling driven to engage in sexual behaviors, but deriving no pleasure from them  Damage to interpersonal relationships, including those with intimate partners  Finding yourself having to apologize often for your behavior. Engaging in risky sexual behaviors that can cause both physical and interpersonal problems (for example, having sex without a condom, or having sex with an employee)  A large amount of time spent searching for sexual gratification, and/or a loss of productivity related to such Consider finding a counselor who specializes in sexual addiction. To find a therapist, you may wish to consult your doctor, contact your employer’s Employee Assistance Program, ask for a referral from your local community health agency, or do your own online research.  You may want to find a counselor who has a S-PSB (Specialist in Problematic Sexual Behaviors) or CSAT (Certified Sex Addiction Therapist) certification. These certifications show that the counselor has received training in sexual behavior causes and treatments. Therapists are trained to be open-minded, nonjudgmental, and accepting of other people’s problems. Do not feel embarrassed or ashamed that you need to seek professional help. Therapists are also bound to confidentiality laws, and will protect your privacy, so long as you are not at risk of harming yourself or others, or you report abuse or neglect. There are several sexual addiction support groups that all have similar, 12-step program models (similar to the model of Alcoholics Anonymous). These meetings can provide you with support, hold you accountable in your recovery, and give you a structure to work toward and meet your goals. To find a meeting location near you, you can visit these groups’ websites:  Sex Addicts Anonymous: https://saa-recovery.org/  Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous: https://saa-recovery.org/  Sexaholics Anonymous: https://www.sa.org/

Article: Use one or two short, concise sentences that explain your desire to end future communication. You do not owe them an explanation. Simply say that you do want to talk to them anymore.  You could say, “Hey Jake, can we avoid talking for a few more weeks? I'm still processing the breakup." An example of this text could be: “Do not text or reach out to me anymore. I do not wish to have any form of communication going forward.” Restate that you are no longer together and, as such, you do not want to talk to them anymore. Be clear and direct. You do not have to reply to any future texts or calls if you do not want to. An example of this text could be: “We broke up and I am not interested in getting back together. I do not want to have any form of relationship with you.” State what your limits are as far as when you would be open to communicating and how often.  If you feel you may one day be open to communicating with them, you could say, "I'm still not ready yet. Can we talk again in a couple months so I can process my feelings?" If you know you do not want to talk to them you could say, “If you continue texting me, I will not reply.” If you've repeatedly told your ex to stop contacting you and they still haven't, talk to your parents or a counselor, and then reach out to the authorities. They can help you get a restraining order and set legal boundaries to prevent harassment.  You might consider telling your ex you're considering these steps before actually taking them, to see if that makes them back off. Try saying something like “I told you I don't want to talk. If you continue texting me, I will go to the police to ask for a restraining order.”
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
State that you do no want to talk to them. Explain that the relationship is over. Set boundaries by explaining what you expectations are. Contact authorities if you feel unsafe.

Q: Trying to record a song you haven't finished writing yet is like trying write a novel without any ideas about the plot or characters you're going to use — very tricky. Whether you're recording in your garage or at Abbey Road studios, you'll want to have your entire song figured out before you start to record. This saves you the time of having to re-record numerous takes as you figure out your song and, if you're using a professional studio, the money needed to pay for studio time.  This means that your song's structure needs to be more or less decided-upon when you arrive at the studio, but it doesn't necessarily mean that you need to have every note pre-planned. Some artists, for instance, record their solos live in the studio. In some genres of music, like Jazz, entire sections of the song can be improvised — still, even in these cases, the musicians know when to begin and end each part of the song and how to stay in time with one another. For more information, see How to Write a Song. Not every song you record has to be an original. You can also record your own version of someone else's song (called a cover). There are no significant legal hurdles to recording a cover, though you are obligated to give the original songwriter credit if you sell your version commercially. Some of music's biggest hits have been covers (though this is not always well-known among fans of the songs). Below are just a few famous covers:  "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell (originally by Gloria Jones) "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper (originally by Robert Hazard) "Hound Dog" by Elvis Presley (originally by Willie Mae "Big Mama" Thornton) "All Along the Watchtower" by Jimi Hendrix (originally by Bob Dylan) "Jolene" by the White Stripes (originally by Dolly Parton) "I Think We're Alone Now" by Tiffany (originally by Tommy James and the Shondells) No matter when and where you're recording, it's always in your best interest to practice your song until you know it like the back of your (hopefully callused) hands. By the time you turn on the mics, you'll want to be able to reliably play through the entire song without making anything rather than insignificant, tiny errors. If you can't, you risk wasting lots of time playing your song over and over as you try for a perfect take. This is especially important if you're using a professional recording studio. While you can easily get away with making a few mistakes when you're recording in your garage, showing up to a recording studio unprepared can be embarrassing and costly. Studio time can be quite expensive (it's not rare for the services of a reasonably high quality studio to run at $100 per hour or more), so every time you make a mistake and need to start over, you're losing money. Plus, experienced sound engineers are present when you record in the studio — do you want to mess up in front of them over and over? Just like you'll want to be able to play through your song without mistakes before you begin recording, you'll also want to have all of the equipment and accessories that you need to make your music sound just right before you step into the studio. While many professional studios will have various amps, cables, effects pedals, and even instruments handy, there's no guarantee that they'll have exactly what you need to sound the way you want, so don't count on this. Instead, have all of your equipment with you to avoid the hassle of adjusting to a new setup. Obviously, if you're recording at home, all you'll be able to use is the equipment you have (or whatever you can borrow from a friend).
A:
If you haven't already, write a song. Alternatively, pick a song to cover. Practice, practice, practice. Have whatever equipment you need to sound "just right".
