What is Sexual Addiction?
A common myth is that sexual addiction is simply "too much sex." In general, sex addiction refers to a compulsion to perform sexual acts in order to achieve the same kind of "fix" that one seeks in using drugs or alcohol. A sexual addiction may manifest as a compulsion to masturbate, view pornography or seek sexually stimulating situations. Sexual addiction may require an individual to significantly alter activities in order to perform sexual acts multiple times a day.
Signs & Symptoms of sexual addiction are varied,
but may include:
-
Continued, obsessive behaviors, despite interference with everyday life
-
Obsession with sexual thoughts and behaviors
-
Need to increase the intensity, frequency, or risk of sexual behaviors in order to achieve the same desired affects (tolerance)
-
Increased isolation
-
Failure to resist impulses
-
Withdrawal symptoms when behaviors are discontinued
-
Feelings of distress, anxiety, restlessness and, in rare cases, violence if unable to engage in sexual behavior
