Sex Addiction
A relationship with no arguments is a relationships with a lot of secrets." - Anonymous
Sexual addiction, or sex addiction, is an excessive or compulsive behavior surrounding sexual activities without any regard to consequences of either the individual or the individual’s sexual partners.
A sexual addiction could be the result of mismanaged emotional regulation, where sex at one point acted a sort of medication for emotional turmoil and then turned into an uncontrollable compulsion. Childhood abuse or abnormal exposure to sex, such as lack of sexual education or a parent/guardian having an affair, could also cause sexual addiction.
Treatment for sex addiction can include therapy which helps a client to recognize possible triggers, redirect negative behaviors, and uncover any underlying condition or past abuse that may cause the addiction. A therapist can help reestablish self-esteem and cultivate appropriate behaviors and healthy relationships.
