Sexual addiction is best defined as an intimacy issue exhibited by the uncontrollable urge to perform sexual acts or having continuous sexual thoughts, which inhibit healthy lifestyles. Like any addiction, it can have a devastating effect on relationships, families, marriages.
Some signs of sex addiction include:
- Compulsively or habitually engaging in sexual activities
- Persistent craving sex, even immediately after intercourse
- Losing interest in activities that do not involve sexual acts
- Feeling irritable when unable to engage in sexual activities
- Continually engaging in sexual behavior despite negative consequences
- Preforming illegal sexual acts
Sexual addiction can cause romantic relationships to become distant, friendships to become strained, and self-esteem to diminish. Not only does it have an emotional toll, but a physical one as well. People participating in high risk, sexual behaviors are at a higher risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases, encountering legal problems, and acquiring other forms of disability. But there is always hope!
