Sexual addiction is a popular model TO explain hypersexuality– sexual urges, behaviors, or thoughts that appear extreme in frequency or feel out of one’s control. Hypersexuality is typically associated with lowered sexual inhibitions, and alcohol and some
drugs can affect a person’s social and sexual inhibitions.

The term “sexual addiction” is used to describe the behavior of a person who has an unusually intense sex drive or an obsession with sex. Sex and the thought of sex tend to dominate the sex addicts thinking, making it difficult to work or engage
in healthy personal relationships. Sex addicts engage in distorted thinking, often rationalizing and justifying
their behavior and blaming others for problems. They generally deny they have a problem and make
excuses for their actions. Sexual addiction also is associated with risk- taking. A person with a sex addiction engages in various forms of sexual
activity, despite the potential for negative and/or dangerous consequences. In addition to damaging the addict’s relationships and interfering with his or her work and social life, a sexual addiction
also puts the person at risk for emotional and physical injury. Generally, a person with a sex
addiction gains little satisfaction from the sexual activity and forms no emotional bond with his or her
sex partners. In addition, the problem of sex addiction often leads to feelings of guilt and shame. A sex
addict also feels a lack of control over the behavior, despite negative consequences (financial, health,
social, and emotional). Partners of sex addicts need just as much assistance in overcoming the
consequences of sex addiction, even though they don’t have an infatuation with the subject. There
are multiple elements that go into a partner’s well-being, all of which may be tested, from emotional
manipulation to resulting health problems.
