Sex addiction refers to sexual behavior that has become compulsive, no longer just for the sake of pleasure itself and leads to negative effects that seriously interfere with one’s relationships and work.
Sex addiction often involves sexual contact with one or more people. A person may be considered addicted because of the extreme consumption of pornography, Internet channels such as sensual chat rooms, or having sex with strangers.
For example, if a man starts to see pornography for hours a day, he will begin to believe that what is shown really represents the way people make love in the real world.
As his hopes soar, he finds himself losing interest in the wife he previously found sexually attractive. His quest to satisfy sexual arousal makes work and family seem tedious by comparison.
Here are 5 behaviors that indicate sex addiction in men.
1. Loss of interest in current sexual partner
When a man suddenly stops wanting sex, it can be very disruptive to relationships.
Of course, every couple has a different level of desire in making love. But complete withdrawal from sexual intercourse for a long time can be a warning sign that his sexual energy is going in a different direction.
2. Loss of sexual function
The habit of watching pornography makes many young men experience erectile dysfunction and delayed ejaculation during sexual intercourse.
When a man sees a lot of erotic pictures before climaxing, his dopamine rises to a level of excitement that cannot be matched in sex with his partner.
Basically, he begins to condition his body to require this high level of arousal and his ability to function with a partner may decline.
3. A lot of time is spent on sexual activity
When a man’s pornographic habits start to take up a lot of time, taking up sleep or hours of work, chances are he has a compulsion.
The behavior can be rooted in something other than sex addiction like depression for example. Whatever the reason, at this stage the man needs help.
4. Ignoring responsibility
If the time is involved in sexual activity interfere with relationships with spouse and family or work, sexual behavior tends to become coercive.
He may also neglect his job and turn to negative behaviors such as flirting with coworkers, masturbating at work, or viewing pornography at work.
5. Increased sexual harm
If a man feels that the intensity of his pornography is out of control, he needs therapy.
When the need for sexual sensation escalates to the habit of porn, to live chat rooms, or casual sex, the level of risk taking has gone beyond his control.
If any of these signs appear, try to consult a sex therapist or psychiatrist for therapy.
