How do people on here feel about flirting with other people while in a relationship, but not because you are looking to cheat?
In other words, you are flirting with someone else to make them attracted to you and nothing more. I feel like I'm addicted to being desired, but I am also in a relationship with a girl I love and have no desire to cheat on her. I just like feeling like women art attracted to me. Thoughts?
look at the bright side, u have got a new name.
"Attention-Whore" for a pussy,
"Dick" for a pussylet.
Addendum:
it's nice to be "cuck", though.
It depends on the person you're dating. Its best to ask your partner what they are comfortable with and what they aren't. I'd say even if they are comfortable with it, don't do it because flirting can easily lead to cheating. However, that's up to you and if they actually don't care, then I guess go ahead. However, if they are even a little upset by the idea of you flirting with others or just kinda unsure, or obviously don't want you to, then don't do it.

It must be hard falling asleep at night to thoughts of how you might be able to suck your own dick.

I can usually see right through it, and usually don't humor it. Women get pissy sometimes when I don't reciprocate, but if I know she's so much as "talking to" another guy I don't do it. I know also that it's usually not even serious and it'll never go further, so I personally don't see the point.

Its a common emotional reaction, especially in adolescence. I understand your intentions don't come from a malicious place but in the context of a relationship you have to understand why this creates a larger issue of trust.
A large part of living in our society is having the idea reinforced in you from a young age that the ability to be desirable is directly linked to worth. Its natural that we all grow up a little confused when comparing this deeply engrained concept with the stark reality of the actual working world of adult relationships.
You do this because you're trying to fill some kind of hole of inadequacy. Don't be ashamed. We all want to be loved and admired and revered but how we fill those empty holes inside of ourselves is more damning than the fact that they exist.
Seek therapy if need be. Being aware is a good first step, just make sure that you're open and honest with this to any potential partner as you start your journey to address this issue. You'd be amazed how understanding people can be about these issues regarding infidelity in relationships if you're just honest about it.
Good luck, OP.

I basically never stop flirting with girls, even when I am in a committed relationship or when I'm not looking for a date. Because it's fun, mostly.

It's a balance act between your own insecurity and the insecurity of your partner. If you're a good match, your girlfriend might tolerate some empty flirting (though obviously you have to give her the same freedom) and most non insecure people would be cool with it. On the other hand, you could deal with your own issues that make you require constant attention from others.
