So what is sex and porn addiction?

Sex addiction encompasses any sexual activity that feels uncontrollable or causes significant problems in your life. It may manifest as a single behaviour or a combination of multiple behaviours. Despite efforts to stop, you might be unable to break free from these patterns. Common examples of sex addiction include:

  • Compulsive Use of Pornography: An overwhelming urge to view pornographic content, often at the expense of other activities.
  • Compulsive Sexting: Persistent sending of sexually explicit messages or images.
  • Using Chatrooms, Online Sex, or Telephone Sex: Engaging in sexual activities through digital platforms or over the phone.
  • Visiting Escorts: Seeking sexual services from escorts.
  • Having Multiple Ongoing Affairs: Engaging in multiple sexual relationships simultaneously.
  • Visiting Sex Cinemas: Frequently attending adult theatres.
  • Exhibitionism: Deriving sexual pleasure from exposing oneself to others.
  • Voyeurism: Gaining sexual gratification from observing others without their knowledge.
  • Compulsive Masturbation: Excessive self-stimulation that interferes with daily life.
  • Fetishes: Relying on specific objects or scenarios for sexual arousal.
  • Anonymous Sex: Engaging in sexual activities with strangers, often without knowing their identity.
  • Illegal Sexual Practices: Involvement in unlawful sexual activities.

Problematic viewing of pornography, often referred to as porn addiction, is increasingly prevalent. Many individuals try to reduce or stop their consumption but cannot. As the addiction progresses, it can lead to the neglect of other interests, responsibilities, work, and family.

Common consequences of sex addiction include:

  • Distress and Isolation: Feelings of shame and guilt can lead to emotional distress and social withdrawal.
  • Relationship Problems: Addiction can cause significant strain on personal relationships, leading to conflicts and loss of trust.
  • Financial Issues: The costs associated with addictive behaviours, such as visiting escorts or subscribing to pornographic content, can lead to financial difficulties.
