SEX ADICCTION

Sexuality forms a natural part in human being, but when it becomes the only thing that a person thinks about or does, and then it becomes a problem. The addiction to the sex is characterized by a person that is invaded gradually by obsessive thoughts of erotic content and the imperious need to have sexual contact, ignoring the risks and consequences that his or her acts could have. The sexual addiction is defined as compulsive conduct; an involuntary tendency, uncontrolled, repetitive and thoughtless, directed to establish a type of sexual relation stereotyped that produces a sensation of dissatisfaction. This repetitive conduct intends to reduce the anxiety of an inadequate form.
The people with this disorder have social, economic, family, and work problems, this addiction forces the addict to go to nightclubs, buy pornographic articles, frequent calls to erotic lines or to maintain sexual relations with strangers even without protection, since his life rotate around the sex, without feeling most of the time any kind of the pleasure but feelings of fault and suffering. It cannot be described through an only behavior, since can be disguised as one or several of these forms: compulsive masturbation, relations with multiple heterosexual or homosexual couples, encounters with unknown people, use of pornography, prostitution or erotic lines.
A critical factor is the double life that the person begins to carry; lies, deceits, concealment of its behavior due to the shame of the lack of control, what generates feelings of impotence and suffering.
Its problem shames them because they realize that they cannot break its impulses and this produces high feelings of impotence and suffering.
