Short answer: There is no difference.
In my opinion, wanting to have sex more than once a day, regardless of who with, is a sign of sex addiction.

Having sex with your spouse more than once a day is not detrimental to your well-being and general day-to-day life. In fact, it’s GOOD for it. The same cannot be said for sexual addictions.

A sex addict never gets enough. Sex becomes a “fix”. Sex addicts like drug addicts are always seeking a higher high/more thrills….which leads to affairs, porn, etc. Sex addicts are the same as any other addict, there really no difference but the drug of choice. There could be self esteem issues, codependency, narcissism disorder, and many more. Treatment is their best option, and a willingness to admit they have a problem.

A sex addict believes they “cannot live” without sex and will take extreme risk to obtain it.
e.g. unprotected sex with hookers, cheat on their wives with multiple girls at once, etc…
It’s a broad label that is applied to more things than just the sex – more “serial cheaters” are addicted to the chemical high of /crushing/ – those feelings you get when you meet someone new and start to pursue them and flirt etc… etc… That’s why they are ‘done with you’ after they ’seal the deal’ and move on the next fling.
High sex drive often gets called many names, but it’s just high drive.
Addiction is about /lack of control/ not frequency.
And for that matter, part of a trusting loving relationship is being able to “let go” and “surrender” to such feelings but that’s like finding the holy grail.
[e.g. I feel sorry for Cpedic's spouse.]
It is also important to understand that it IS an emotive drive – like thirst and hunger – and likewise /makes you miserable/ when you feel starved. That does not mean you’re a sex-addict any more than a hungry person is a food-addict.
[Now, if you weigh 300lb and you're still eating like there's no tomorrow... you are a food-addict.]

sex is a normal urge in a relationship, but it becomes an addiction when it’s getting in the way of your daily life, like work or errands.
or if you’re thinking about cheating on your wife just because you’re in the mood.

Better answer: Sexual addiction like any other addiction is when is starts taking over a part of your life and impairing it. If it keeps you from performing properly at work. If you spend lots of money on porn or you start needing kinkier and different stuff just to have the same feeling as before. The amount of sex really doesn’t have anything to do with it. Like with an alcoholic and a person that likes drinking. Do you have to have a drink every day. Does it impair you life? Just because an alcoholic hasn’t drank anything in 5 years doesn’t change the fact that he is one. If you don’t have sex more than once a day, what do you do then? Do you feel you still need more and are willing to risk things and engage in unsafe practices to get it? That is what an addiction is. People like to throw the term addiction around too much.
Edit. this was in responce to short answer….

I guess a sex addict is someone who can’t keep himself having sex with anyone even if she is not his spouse or partner. While a husband who has sex with his spouse more than once a day is someone who expresses his love and meets his sexual need at the same time. I don’t think there is anything wrong with having sex more than once a day with your spouse as long as both of you like to do it. Why not? In fact, it’s encouraged among married couples. Maybe you would be interested to read some of the articles I found interesting in relation to this at http://bit.ly/57h3TD and at http://bit.ly/73×9Z8.

If both are enjoying it what is the problem? It means they are sexually compatible.

Sex addicts typically have sex outside the marriage, with whomever they can. Having sex once a day with your spouse does not qualify as an addiction. Unless the 2 of you never get out of bed, lose your jobs, and forget everything else….just consider yourself lucky.

If you were a sex addict…
You would have sex with your wife several times and still not feel satisfied and be begging for more. Would go and watch porn etc…..Or get sex elsewhere…
If you are a sex addict all you think about is sex,
From the second you wake up to when you fall asleep….

An addict does things that are dangerous like unprotected, random sex. An addict lets the behavior hinder their life. If you obsess about sex to the point that it negatively affects your life, you are an addict.
If you had sex 30 times a day, but it didn’t damage any part of your life and you weren’t doing it in a way that was dangerous like unprotected sex with an unsafe partner… then you are not an addict.
Women like to tell you that you are an addict if you want sex more than they do so that they can wield a false morality sword in your face. Don’t buy it… it’s just a tactic they use to get you to pretend you aren’t an average guy who could have sex multiple times a day.
I can have it 5-7 times if opportunity presents itself, but that rarely happens. Because I have a high drive, does not make me an addict.
Just because you have an affair does not mean that you are an addict. Even if you have several affairs. It could be that your spouse is not meeting your needs. You certainly need help if you are having affairs, but if having one woman that meets your needs is actually enough, then you would not be an addict.
Oh, not being able to live without sex does not make you an addict. Not being able to live without affection does not make you an affection addict… sexual desire is normal and good. It all depends on what you do with it. If your physiology is such that you have a high drive, then living without it is not an option. But choose an option that meets your needs in a way that is safe and constructive.

An addiction interferes with the other aspects of your life. Regular sex just makes your life better.

i think when there is a couple that is committed to one another and have sex quite often is not an addiction. if a person has to go out and look for someone randomly to sleep with then i would say they have a problem.

I just want you to know that everytime I see your name, I sing your name to the tune “Secret Agent Man”. Every. Freaking. Time. Sooo, if that was your intention, you can claim success.

There is no such thing as a sex addiction-it is called “no morals.”

A sex addict can never be satiated and love plays no part in their need to try to fill a bottomless pit within them. Having sex with your spouse more than once a day is a normal day with someone you love
