Instead of sexuality being approached as a game, a relationship a communication - exchange of pleasure and / or feeling and a privileged moment of intimacy, some people live their sexuality in an obsessive way, becoming dependent of it. Sexual behavior is the means by which the dependent relieves stress, escapes the negative or painful feelings of intimate relationships that he is not able to manage. Sexual intercourse becomes a fundamental necessity to which all else is sacrificed. Some signs of sex addiction are:
▪ feeling that sexual desire is stronger than you
▪ finding yourself often absorbed in sexual thoughts and fantasies
▪ thinking that your sexual behavior is not normal
▪ your partner (or other significant person) worries or complains about your sexual behavior
▪ sometimes your sexual behavior causes you emotional / physical malaise or even pain.
▪ worrying that people might discover your sexual activities
▪ having alternations between periods of intense activity and complete sexual abstinence
▪ trying to interrupt a specific type of sexual behavior without being able to
▪ using sex or sexual fantasies to escape the problems of everyday life
▪ having feelings of guilt and depression after sexual activity
Finding one of these signs is giving you the certainty that sex is a serious problem in your life, even if your mind tries to convince you otherwise. Denial of the problem is one of the biggest obstacles to getting help. Sexual desire is so strong that the mind finds many ways to justify it even when the consequences are obvious. Contact us.
