What is sexual addiction?

Sexual addiction involves compulsive sexual behavior that interferes with daily life, relationships, and overall well-being.

It is characterized by an inability to control sexual impulses, leading to distress or impairment in personal and professional life.

Signs of sexual addiction include frequent preoccupation with sexual activities, neglect of responsibilities, and continued engagement despite negative consequences.

Sexual addiction may involve excessive use of pornography, compulsive sexual behavior, or frequent high-risk sexual activities.

Understanding sexual addiction as a behavioral health issue can help in seeking appropriate treatment and support.
