What is Sex Addiction?
Sex addiction is more than just loving the act of sex. Rather, it is a condition in which an individual struggles to manage compulsive sexual thoughts and acts. This inability to effectively rein in impulses can affect an individual’s ability to work, maintain healthy romantic relationships, and lead a fulfilling life. Different forms of sex addiction may include addiction to:
- Pornography
- Prostitution
- Exhibitionism or voyeurism
- Sadistic or masochistic behavior
- Other excessive sexual pursuits
Only a trained mental health professional can properly diagnose this intimacy disorder, so if you think that you or a loved one may be suffering from sex addiction, it is important to get help from a licensed clinical psychologist as soon as possible.
Symptoms of Sex Addiction
Sex addiction comes in many different forms and intensities. Some of the symptoms of the disorder include:
- Obsessive thoughts and fantasies about sex
- Inability to control how one acts sexually
- Sexual choices that make life seem unmanageable
- Participating in sexual behavior that is dangerous to oneself or others
- Ritualistic behavior surrounding sexual encounters
- Ritualistic behavior surrounding sexual encounters
- Feelings of guilt and remorse following sex
Sex Addiction Treatment Options
While the nature of addiction can make individuals feel shameful, treatment can help them turn the page and reclaim healthy, meaningful sexual relationships. Typically, a combination of therapeutic modalities are most effective for treating addictive tendencies. Sex addiction counseling is among these modalities, including one-on-one sessions with a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
