Understanding sex addiction
Research varies on the prevalence of sex
addiction and it is difficult to state with certainty
that one gender has a higher incidence of sex
addiction than the other does. Estimates of sex
addiction range from three to ten percent within
the general population. Dr. Patrick Carnes’
research has indicated that approximately 20% of
those seeking help for sex addiction are female.
This male female ratio is consistent with that
found among recovering alcoholics.
Some of the factors that push sex addiction
include the need to medicate emotional pain or
escape an unsatisfactory situation, and the
impulsive or even compulsive quest to satisfy
unmet emotional needs. In short, sex addiction is
best viewed as an attachment or intimacy
disorder.
Regardless of gender, sex addicts are prone to
multiple addictions and typically come from
severely dysfunctional families. This is not always
the case, however. In the majority of cases, at
least one other member of the family has an
addiction as well. Multiple addictions occur when
an addict is addicted to sex and at least one
other thing. For females, eating disorders are
common, as is chemical dependency, and
compulsions for work, spending, and gambling.
Women continue to be underrepresented in health
and addiction studies. Many individuals, both
professionals and non professionals, assume sex
addiction is for men only. Research demonstrates
that the majority of abuse survivors are female,
making them more susceptible to addiction.
Sadly, however, many females will go
undiagnosed and often treatment of past sex
abuse will be too limited to prevent later sex
addiction. Even if counselors recognize that
females can be sexually addicted, they may fail to
recognize the feminine nuances that typically
define female sex addiction.
