Finding Treatment For Sex Addictions
Sex addiction has received a lot of news coverage lately. Celebrities and politicians, such as Tiger Woods and Anthony Weiner, have been rocked by very public sex scandals. As sensational as these stories are, the sad truth is that sex addiction is not limited to the gossip columns: it can tear apart loving relationships, and also prevent . people from being capable of participating in healthy relationships.. Understanding the symptoms of sex addiction, as well as treatment options, is the first step if you suspect you or your partner suffers from this type of addiction.
Paying For Sex
One symptom of a sex addiction is paying for sex. This is a very dangerous symptom, as it can quickly land you in jail or in a situation where your personal safety is compromised. Additionally, sex slavery is a very real problem in America (as well as the rest of the world), and by paying for sex, you may be unwittingly contributing to this appalling epidemic.
As with many addictions, sex addiction can cause you to neglect your obligations at work or home. Chores don’t get done; your performance at work suffers, as do your relationships. This is because you are so focused on one thing (your addiction) that you ignore nearly every other aspect of your life. This can not only break up your family, but can lead to job loss and financial difficulties as well.
It is Not Just Physical
Sex addiction is not necessarily limited to intercourse, or even physical contact. Compulsive phone sex, sexting, and viewing or reading of pornography can also constitute a sex addiction. Just because these activities are not physical, does not mean that they are harmless. As mentioned before, an addiction to these activities can cause you to seriously neglect other areas of your life. Specifically, it can cause you to neglect the real, physical relationship that you have with your spouse or partner. When fantasy takes the place of intimacy, problems are bound to occur in the relationship.
Cheating
One of the primary symptoms of sex addiction is cheating on a spouse or partner. In fact, this is usually what lands people in the gossip column, when it comes to high-profile sex addictions. Cheating can ruin a relationship and break apart families, because, without trust, it is very difficult for a relationship to flourish.
Seeking Therapy For A Sex Addiction
Like all addictions, sex addiction is nearly impossible to combat on your own. The support of others is necessary in order to overcome sex addiction. If you have a sex addiction, one of the best forms of support available is therapy. When it comes to sex addiction therapy, exposure is not an issue.
