4 Signs That You Are A Sex Addict

So you enjoy sex a great deal and
perhaps spend most of your time
thinking about doing the dirty, does this
make you an addict?
Here are 4 signs you might be a sex addict
and should seek help.
1. Obsession : The person is consumed by
thoughts of sexual activity. That doesn’t
mean just thinking about sex. It means
they cannot focus on anything else. They
are obsessed with what they are going do
next, when it will happen, how they’re
going to hide it, etc.
2. Compulsivity: They completely lack
control over their compulsion to have sex.
They may have told themselves over and
over again that they aren’t going to do it
anymore. They really want to stop, but they
are unable to.
3. They build up tolerance. It’s just like
any other addiction in this way. Like
alcohol, at first you only need one drink to
get affected. As time goes by you need
more and more drinks. With sex addiction,
maybe sneaking a look at porn works at
first. Then it doesn’t do it for you anymore.
You might go online after your partner
goes to bed. Then you go online at work,
then on the phone on the freeway, and
then it escalates to masturbating in your
car. You have to increase the frequency,
intensity and/or risk in order to get that
desired effect.
4. They continue the behavior despite
the consequences . Even if their spouse
threatens to leave them, they’re threatened
to be fired or they even get arrested, they
keep doing it. They need the rush–no
matter what price they have to pay.
