Sex Addiction
Sexual expression is a natural part of a well-rounded life. But if you’re obsessed with sexual thoughts, feelings or behaviours that affect your health, job, relationships or other parts of your life, you may have compulsive sexual behaviour.
Compulsive sexual behaviour — sometimes called hyper sexuality, nymphomania or sexual addiction — may involve a normally enjoyable sexual experience that becomes an obsession. Or compulsive sexual behaviour may involve fantasies or activities outside the bounds of culturally, legally or morally accepted sexual behaviour.
No matter what it’s called or the exact nature of the behaviour, untreated compulsive sexual behaviour can damage your self-esteem, relationships, career and other people. But with treatment and self-help, you can manage compulsive sexual behaviour and keep your urges in check.
