Negative consequences of sex addiction
Unhealthy sexual thoughts, feelings and behaviors
can lead to pain and negative or self-destructive
consequences. In fact, sexual addiction can get in
the way of the many benefits that healthy sexual
relationships have to offer: intimacy, respect,
nurturing, support, peace and self-enhancement.
But how can you identify signs of sexual
addiction? And how do you know if you or a loved
one are a sex addict?

Sexual addiction is progressive
Many different kinds of sexual activities are red
flags for sexual addiction. Sex addicts can be
involved in a wide variety of practices and many
have trouble with just one behavior or with many.
Furthermore, sexual addiction can be progressive,
meaning that a sex addict starts with one
behavior (masturbation) but over time eventually
engages in increasingly dangerous activities (sex
in public, masochistic or sadistic sex, multiple
partners, etc.). Although the following list is not
complete, it helps give you a guide of what to
look for.

1. Avoiding emotional involvement in sexual
relationships (wanting to get away from a sex
partner right after sex)

2. Having multiple sexual partners, anonymous
partners, prostitutes, with someone you do not
care about or extramarital affairs

3. Using euphoric recall while being sexual

4. Sexually acting out against your values

5. Frequent use of pornographic materials

6. Using phone and internet sex services

7. Excessive masturbation

8. Fixating on an unattainable sex partner

9. Practicing masochistic or sadistic sex

10. Practicing exhibitionism (indecent exposure)
Am I a sex addict?

Noted

@Op
Sorry but I just had to laugh at your number eight point
So you are trying to tell me that practicing any form of sexual sadism or categorically speaking, "masochism" as you stated above, is a pointer to sexual addiction.....

Please that is an erroneous statement, you have no idea whatsoever about the assertion you are making!

By the way, most of the points you mentioned are signs of "Sexual Starvation" not "Addiction"

Op must be drunk....

Sexual addiction...come carry me go rehab na...


Your points are just worthless

Dunce

Op most of your points are very "subjective"

I don't write for fools to comprehen but intelligent minds

Ok

.

U chaps are just whitewashing d op! What is d meaning of SIGNS OF SEX ADDICTION. U abusers should define that for all. Instead of discussing issues, u develop bitterness and subconscious jealousy and work yourselves up trying to silence the op! When will u folks ever stop this and grow up. I always spend sometime glancing thro some chaps profile and comment history... many hardly do without cursing and being intentionally narrow-minded. His statement may be giving a clue that fairly regular involvment in the points he mentioned could mean u are falling DOWN THE CLIFF of addiction. In other words u are drifting towards the subject matter. Issues akin to this are subject to mature discussion. U cant be too right or too wrong. There is always somthin2learn. Most of u cannot sit in a panel or judge any reasonable case! U will certainly allow paranoid sentiment to becloud yur sense of judgement and if care is not swiftly taken, screw the entire crew along with yur selves!!

Too many pharises and Jews on this forum.
