Unfulfilled by sex
Do I have too high a libido?
Sex is, at its best, an enjoyable part of life. The problem with sex addiction is that the desire is never truly satisfied. The person struggling often seeks something in sex beyond sexual gratification, without even realising it. They keep searching, repeatedly, yet remain unfulfilled.
People with sex addiction often experience relatively little pleasure from sex. Sex addiction isn’t about having an unusually high sexual drive, having too much sex, or engaging in sexual practices that others might see as “abnormal.” People’s desires vary widely; as long as it feels right for you and your partner(s), there’s no inherent problem.

Patterns of a sex addiction
Sex addiction develops gradually. You might start by watching some porn after work. What begins as an occasional habit can slowly become a regular pattern.

Sex addiction
When are you addicted to sex?
It can be difficult to recognise on your own whether you have a dependency. We also tend to deny our own dependence. To get an initial idea of your risk, you can see how much you relate to the statements below:
- I have an obsessive and compulsive need for sex
- I masturbate excessively
- I sleep very little because I watch porn late into the night
- My sexual behaviour functions like a drug
- I engage in risky behaviours (unsafe, in dangerous places, or where I might get caught)
- I experience strong mood swings
- My sexual behaviour disrupts my daily life
You are not alone
It turns out that more and more people struggle with sex addiction. Unfortunately, it can be difficult for many to really talk about sex and their dependence on it, so they often wait too long to seek help. Are you stuck in an addictive pattern of sexual behaviour and want to take back control of your life? If you get in touch with us, we’ll discuss whether we can offer what you need.
