SEX ADDICTION AND SOLUTION

SEX ADDICTION

Sexual addiction  can be said to be the behavior of a person who has an unusually sex drive or an obsession with sex. Sex and the thought of sex tend to dominate the sex addict's thinking, making it difficult to work or engage in healthy personal relationships.

Sex addicts engage in distorted thinking. They rationalize and justify their behavior and blame others for problems. They generally deny they have a problem and make excuses for their actions.

 A person with a sex addiction engages in various forms of sexual activity, despite the potential for negative and/or dangerous consequences. In addition to damaging the addict's relationships and interfering with his or her work and social life,  sexual addiction also puts the person at risk for emotional and physical injury.

For some people, the sex addiction progresses to involve illegal activities, such as exposing oneself in public, making obscene phone calls, or molestation.

Behaviors associated with sexual addiction include:

• Compulsive masturbation (self-stimulation)

• Multiple affairs (pre marital/extra-marital affairs)

• Multiple or anonymous sexual partners

• Consistent use of pornography

• Unsafe sex

• Phone or computer sex (cybersex)

• Prostitution

• Exhibitionism that is exposing oneself in public

• Obsessive dating through personal ads

• Sexual harassment

• Molestation/rape

Generally, a person with a sex addiction gains little satisfaction from the sexual activity and forms no emotional bond with his or her sex partners. In addition, the problem of sex addiction often leads to feelings of guilt and shame. A sex addict also feels a lack of control over the behavior, despite negative consequences (financial, health, social, and emotional).

How is sexual addiction treated?

Most sex addicts live in denial of their addiction, and treating an addiction is dependent on the person accepting and admitting that he or she has a problem. In many cases, it takes a significant event -- such as the loss of a job, the break-up of a marriage, an arrest, or health crisis -- to force the addict to admit to his or her problem.
Treatment of sexual addiction focuses on controlling the addictive behavior and helping the person develop a healthy sexuality. Treatment includes education about healthy sexuality, individual counseling and marital and/or family therapy, following God’s standard on sexuality, stops the publicity about the use of condom.
