There are many things that can contribute to having a sex addiction. Im no expert, but that could definitely be a factor. I would see a therapist, and see if you can make some progress. It could help a lot. Have you talked to your wife about it? Communication is key.

Actually, there's no research or clinical evidence that supports the idea that "striking out" with girls would cause, or contribute to a sexual addiction. The root causes to this disorder can be found in your childhood, in the dysfunctional family where you grew up, and in whatever incidents of abuse, abandonment, and neglect that you endured as a child, By the time you hit your early teen years, the causative factors of a sexual addiction are already in place, so while teenage sexual experiences can occasionally worsen a sexual addiction, you can never say that such experiences caused it.
