Sexual Addiction
Addiction has many forms,some people may seek the “high” of drugs and/or alcohol, while some prefer the “rush” of gambling or shoplifting. For some people, sex is the “drug” that gets them “high”. These people are known as sex addicts. Sexual addiction, like drug or alcohol addiction, has many faces. The addiction can be as seemingly harmless as a habitual frequenting of a strip club, to the more dangerous act of sleeping with prostitutes. With risks running from jail, to contracting an STD, the effects of sexual addiction can be as devastating as any other addiction, even deadly. The results of sexual addiction are obvious and should be taken seriously.
Sexual addiction is an illness suffered by millions of people in the United States today, and has more than likely been around longer than any other addiction, but hasn’t been really recognized as one until recently. This often undiagnosed, misunderstood illness has been left in the shadows of other more prolific forms of addiction until recently. Studies in the past few decades have given a deeper insight into the causes, diagnosis and treatment of sexual addiction. With these advances, newer more specialized forms of treatment are being implemented to help cure those suffering from this condition. Sexual addiction like any other addiction is curable with the right treatment.
