Chapter 1 Behaviors Associated With Sex Addiction
If you think about it, sex is just like eating. You have too much of it and it becomes dangerous. When you still continue despite all the consequences brought by your risky behaviour, then it becomes a disorder, an addiction. Actually, healthy humans naturally have strong desire for sex. And those who lack interest in sex may indicate medical problem or psychiatric illness. Now to make it less confusing, lets put it like this. Low interest on sex means psychological problems. Strong desire for sex is normal. Too much desire for sex results to sex addiction. But the problem is how strong should a strong desire be? Sure, you can say youre practicing a healthy sex life. But how sure are you that you have not yet crossed the line on sex addiction?
Just like other addictions, sex addiction has its starting point. It starts with being constantly preoccupied with sexual thoughts. One will find it hard to concentrate on things because of the unnerving desire to have, watch or feel sex. If your sexual behaviors are creating problems in your intimate connection between your partners, affects your work and your everyday routine, you can almost be certain you are suffering sexual addiction.
Compulsive maturation
Some of these behaviors are compulsive masturbation. Have you observed compulsive masturbation practices in your part? Masturbation is good for the health especially in the part of male as it lessens chances of prostate cancer. However, if youve been masturbating for not less than 8 times daily with the use of different materials just to amplify your libido, then that is already alarming. Uncontrollable indulgence on pornographic materials, online or magazines may be considered as the most common method on addressing sexual addiction. Although due to the frequency of using these materials, soon it would not be enough to satisfy them. Thats the time they use cybersex and obscene phone calls to fulfil their need.
Other materials
For some sex addicts, they will not progress beyond compulsive masturbation, extensive use of pornographic materials and phone or cybersex. But for some, little by little this pattern will evolve into something more sensual and realistic. Going to strip clubs and paying for prostitution and escorts will follow. Being in this stage, it will be difficult to stop. And because this new hobby will require the a lot of cash, some may venture to robbery just to satisfy the need for sex. This pattern is quite similar to drug addiction where some addicts commit robbery and worse homicide just to get money to pay for their drugs. After which, unsafe sexual activity will be practiced due from having strings of anonymous sexual partners and simultaneous or repeated sequential affairs. This will then lead to sexual paraphilia where sex addicts become sexually aroused by objects or actions that are considered less conventional to sex.
Sex addiction is an everyday struggle for those who suffer from this obsession. Even if one have reached his peak the feeling brought by sexual sensation is only momentarily. Soon enough theyll crave for more and become insatiable over time. That is why controlling your sexual behavior is very important, because if not properly attended, your sexual behavior will get the best of you.

Unlike the often misconception that sex addicts tend to separate themselves from the real world, they are actually socializing and seeks for multiple affairs. Even though for some, they will not progress beyond compulsive masturbation, extensive use of pornographic materials and phone or cybersex.
