Sex addiction can be defined as an obsession with sexual thoughts or activities despite the risks. These ideas may end up compromising your performance at your workplace as well as destroy your relationship.

How to know your partner is a sex addict

Most users try to hide their behaviour, but it never long before you realize it. Here is how to find out he or she is a sex addict.

• Searching, downloading and keeping pornographic materials
• Mood swings after an intercourse
• They will demand sex most of the times
• They feel bad and most of the time get too angry if you find out they are obsessed with pornographic materials.
• Don’t socialize a lot with peers
• Her close friends are never same sex and much more.

Why Sex Addiction is never easy To Control

Compared to many other addictions, sex addiction is quite complicated and hard to manage. It combines influences from family background, psychological and biological issues making it harder to resist. According to studies sex addiction is triggered by neurochemical imbalances found in serotonin, dopamine as well as norepinephrine systems. Trying to resists these reactions in your body may lead to depression, stress, emptiness, boredom and more.

How Cybersex affects relationships

Unlike drug use or alcohol addiction, behaviours related to sex addiction such as cybersex will most of the time create a sense of betrayal. Spending most of the time browsing pornographic materials is a sign that your partner isn’t giving you enough, and if he or she finds out, he or she will feel devastated which is never healthy for any relationship.

But sometimes, it is never the addict’s problem. Most of the times, couples fail to agree on how many times they should have sex, when or when not to have it. For a sexual addict, this is like trying to make him or her suffer. But since he or she needs the relationship to continue, he or she will look for substitutes, and nothing comes in handy as a cybersex where porn rules.

More often, they choose to stay up late to browse the net for explicit materials or the worst, cheat. Fortunately, this doesn’t have to happen. With a helping hand from a counsellor, you can save your family from falling apart.
