Searching
Sex should be a fun aspect of life. The problem with sex addiction is that the desire is no longer fulfilled. The sex addicted will subconsciously use sex to find something other than sexual gratification. He or she will therefore always remain unsatisfied and will always be searching for something else.
People addicted to sex often do not enjoy sex as much. Sex addiction is not about a sexual desire that’s out of control, or too much sex, or some type of sex that’s not regarded as ‘normal’. People’s desires in this area often vary a lot; as long as it feels good for you and your partner(s) there really isn’t a problem.

Pattern
Sex addiction develops gradually. It could start with watching porn for a few minutes after work. Those few minutes turn into a couple of hours, and watching ‘now and then’ becomes a set pattern.
You might experiences relationship problems. Your work doesn’t get done, friends aren’t getting as much attention as they used to. This pattern usually becomes stronger over time. Watch porn to get away from all the arguments and pressure; those chores can wait.
If you do try to break this repetitive pattern, you’ll notice that you’ve lost control. You cannot seem to moderate or stop this behavior, even if you wanted to.

More and more people appear to struggle with sex addictions. For many people it’s unfortunately difficult to talk about sex and their dependence on it; that’s why we often delay our search for help. Do you think you’re stuck in an addictive pattern and do you want to regain control? Schedule an appointment, we can help you.
