Overcome Sex Addiction

 

Overcome Sex Addiction

Sex addiction is more than just having a strong sex drive. Sex addiction becomes all encompassing and stops you thinking about and doing other things. It takes over your life.



In your case, perhaps an addiction to sex has made you take risks. It may have undermined or even ruined good relationships.

 

Perhaps it's just steals your time, energy and focus away from other goals in life that you want to pursue. Sex addiction may have got you being deceitful, stopped you focusing on your work or other non-sexual relationships.

Sex addiction and the 'sex fix'
Just craving the next 'sex fix' and not caring how you get it can put you and other people at risk. Sex addiction like any addiction can begin to take over your life and, more that that, start to ruin your life.

Sex addiction as a way of 'escape'

You may having been using compulsive sexual activity as a way of escaping other things in your life or of giving you a sense of meaning.

The false promise of sex addiction
The fact is that addiction; any addiction doesn't work as a 'fix all'. After the come down when the deed has been done, your life still has its same issues to be dealt with. So the 'promise' of sexual addiction is actually a lie because it doesn't solve anything at all.

The diminishing returns of sex addiction

As with any addiction you find you want more and more of it, or that the risks have to be greater and greater to get the same buzz.

Sex is important and it's also more important to some people than to others but it is a part of life and when something that is only meant to be a part tries to become the whole that means problems.

When we do something and we find it pleasurable then it's natural to want to do it again. But if it becomes overwhelming the fulfillment of it actually starts to block out other needs. So needs to achieve at work or to have non-sexual intimacy can all be swept aside by immediate desire for sexual gratification.
