In five sentences or less, how would you describe sex addiction to a person who wanted to know about it, and knew nothing about it.
Thanks for sharing…
Sex addiction is the relentless pursuit of sexual arousal without regard to the consequences and effect of that on people in your life to whom you owe honesty and fidelity, as well as to yourself. This pursuit includes the escalation of behaviours so that they are more frequent, more dangerous, and more devastating to the people in your life. Sex addiction requires betrayal and lying as an everyday, all day lifestyle. The penis is the god of sex addiction and it must be obeyed.
As with anything, anything done is excess is not good, and can become an addiction. This can be too much shopping, gambling, drinking, drugs, work etc.; and an addiction can be born. Sex addiction is just like any other addiction excpet in this case sex, masturbation, pornogrpahy, lusting is done in excess. It is just as damaging if not more to the family and core relationships and is ever so crippling to all of those involved. Primary relationships are typically left broken and torn; and recovery is close to if not completely impossible.
Five sentences Yes!!
Sex addiction comes out of nowhere and hits you like a freight train going 100 miles per hour. After your head stops spinning, you learn all the crazy ass sh*t this addiction entails. You realize after 25 years of marriage, the real reason you weren’t having sex very often was because he was too busy having sex with himself and everybody else. Then you learn, you were just used as a cover or facade for his addiction so he would appear “normal” to the outside world. Sex addiction really sucks.
Sex addiction manifest itself in various ways and those suffering often share in many symptoms. Emotional intimacy seems to be a consistent problem with sex addicts. Struggling with a false sense of self, many addicts use sexual gratification to relieve emotional tension. This form of emotional escape prevents making connections with others with compassion and empathy.
The need to resort to an addictive process in order to feel well. A process that involves increasing amounts of time, lies, misrepresentation, risks, self-centeredness, and eventually serious mental dysfunction. The sublimation of real talents and gifts for hedonistic self-pleasuring to the great sadness of those who love and care for you. A pathetic and vulgar condition.
1) Always believe the wife when she says she had no idea.
2) If my husband can be a sex addict, anyone can be.
3) A sex addict may not actually be having sex with others.
4) SA is all about the brain and self medicating to fill the emptiness.
5) It causes tremendous pain and dysfunction in families and continues for generations if we keep the secrets.
