Sexual Addictions Sexual Addiction is a persistent and escalating pattern of thoughts, feelings, urges and or patterns of sexual behaviours (acted out of not) despite efforts to stop the behaviour and or despite negative consequences to self or others. Sex addiction may be identified as any compulsive or impulsive sexual activity that falls into on of three categories 1) shameful 2) secretive 3) abusive. Sexual addiction is a compulsive behaviour that completely consumes, dominates and guides the addicted person’s life to the point where an individual may feel “a loss of control” over his or her behaviour, a “compulsion to act out”, or a craving” for the desired behaviour. Some out of control, obsessive or ritualize behaviour which may reflect sexual addictions may include in isolation or together: exhibitionism and voyeurism, masturbation, simultaneous or multiple, repeated, or sequential affairs, pornography, cyber sex, phone sex, multiple anonymous partners; unsafe sexual activity; partner sexualization, or objectification, strip clubs and adult bookstores; prostitution/escort use/sexual massage; sexual aversion; and or dug/alcohol problems related to sex.
