Addicted To Sex?: 8 Steps To Handle Your Sex Addiction by virgintoy: 4:56am On Aug 31, 2016
Are you worried you’re crossing the boundaries of sex and turning into a sex addict? Use these steps to overcome your sex addiction and reclaim your life.

The thing is, people can often inappropriately or mistakenly label themselves as a sex addict because they like to sleep around or are in one relationship after another. They may also tag a person as sexually addicted just because they keep going home with different partners. But what is sex addiction, really? Can it be equated to promiscuity or infidelity?

What is sex addiction

Sex addiction is more than just loving sex. It is a compulsive behavior that involves loss of control, failed attempts to stop, and continuous inappropriate sexual behavior despite negative consequences. Such inappropriate and rampant sexual behavior can lead to many legal and health problems.
Much like any form of addiction, sex addiction can get in the way of living a normal life, and it can interfere with your relationships with other people. It can be destructive and disruptive, to the point of making you forget your responsibilities just to get your fix. But again, like with any other addiction, there are ways to overcome it.

How to handle and overcome your sexual addiction


Sexual addiction is not that rare, and thankfully, there a few tried and tested methods of handling it, like the following.

#1 Acknowledge that there is something wrong. First of all, you should first determine if you really do have an addiction. Liking sex or wanting to always have sex with your partner or spouse is different from actually being addicted to sex.

Signs of sexual addiction
The following signs are clear indications of sex addiction. If you experience these signs, then you may consider seeking help on how to handle your behavior.
a. Frequently seeking out one-night stands
b. Having extramarital affairs
c. Dating multiple people simultaneously to have more sex
d. Thinking about sex many times during the day, whether at work or in school
e. Excessive use of pornography
f. Excessive masturbation, even in public places
g. Having unprotected sex
h. Engaging with prostitutes for sex
i. Sexually harassing people, even strangers

#2 Look at the cause. In order to handle your sex addiction, you should take an honest look at what has caused it. Sex addicts often use sex as a way to cope with events that are happening in their lives, such as a loss of a loved one or failure at work. You should consider asking yourself questions like, “What feelings or situations am I trying to avoid?”
After consideration, you may realize that you have underlying issues such as an abusive or traumatic childhood, or problems with dealing with stressful situations, etc. Knowing the main cause of the problem can allow you to find the appropriate method of overcoming your addiction.

#3 Evaluate your daily behavior.
] Once you have a good grasp of what could be causing your sexual addiction, you can now take a look at when the cravings or the urges come in. Take a look at when you usually crave sex, or when you usually want to masturbate or watch pornography. Do your actions give you a high? How often must you repeat an action to satisfy your craving?

Take a look at what your actions have done to you or to the people around you. Consider the consequences of your actions and what else could happen if you continue your ways. In fact, you can write down the harmful effects of your addiction in terms of your relationships, your profession, your emotional state, and your health.

I think it's very important to note that the most important way out of any addiction esp sex is psychology and mental strength.
If you cannot discipline yourself, then ur on a very long thing and would soon return to your vomit
