About sex addiction
Sexual addiction is the term used to describe physical, psychological and emotional addiction on any type of sexual activity. It is presented in different ways, with the most common addictions being the sexual act, masturbation, consumption of pornography, among others.
The sexual addict has lost control of their attitudes in this area and, even with negative consequences, they cannot stop. As with those who are chemically addict, the person with sexual addiction always has this theme around them. They are either thinking about how to get sex, or they are practicing or they are abstaining from the moments they are not having intercourse. As they cannot control themselves anymore and compromises their critical sense, they put themselves in various situations at risk. Harassment and abuse situations can occur, in addition to the high risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases.
Addiction can develop quickly or over a long period of time. Its roots are basically in the way of dealing with stress and anxiety. In these situations, addiction behavior comes into play.
Even after realizing some losses due to the addictive behavior of sex and planning to interrupt, the person just can't do it, they have lost control. The sex is now in control and the thought that takes over the whole day is to feed the addiction. Thus begins an endless cycle of unhealthy behavior that makes them establish even deeper bonds of addiction. The result is often devastating, affecting all areas of life, resulting in chronic health conditions, poor social engagement, isolation, problems at work, high strain on family and loving relationships, chaotic lifestyle and financial problems.
