Sex is not inherently addictive. Just because you might like sex and sexual activity does not mean your addicted to it. Men and women who have developed a sexual addiction are caught up in repetitive activities that do not fulfill their needs and negatively impact their relationships, jobs and health. There are things you can do to change your relationship to your sexuality so that you can get the enjoyment you want from all areas of your life.
Sex addiction or compulsion can have many negative impacts on your life. Work, relationships, marriage, family life, church/religious/spiritual and other areas of your life may be suffering due to sex addiction. Sex addiction can include struggles with porn, online sex, escorts, exotic show lounges or other paid or unpaid services. There is a way to manage this and get your desired healing and recovery. Call now to see how therapy and counselling may help.

Addiction to sexual behaviours and compulsions can feel overwhelming, particularly when that loss of control leads to decisions that involve risking losing the things we truly care about. There is not an agreed upon clinical definition of sexual addiction, but it tends to feel compulsive, excessive and hard to stop despite being aware of the consequences. It is not necessarily the specific behaviours that define the addiction, but how those behaviours leave us feeling. Many people suffer from sexual addiction and the associated shame and guilt that tends to follow. There are some proven strategies to explore the deeper causes of these behaviours and work towards changing them. Most imporantly, a commitment to working on them leads many to learn that they are not alone on this journey.

Signs of sexual addiction often elude obvious detection. Do you find yourself masturbating excessively, experiencing shame, and feeling compelled to conceal this aspect of your life? Are you overwhelmed by urges and desires that leave you feeling out of control, triggering feelings of anxiety, depression, guilt, or shame? Do you engage in secret behaviors such as watching pornography or soliciting prostitution? Beneath this addiction often lies unresolved and unhealed past traumatic experiences that have hindered your ability to communicate your pain.
