Sexual AddictionSexual addiction is a way of coping with depression, anxiety, or any other uncomfortable emotion. “The addiction is an altered state of consciousness in which “normal” sexual behavior pales by comparison in terms of excitement and relief from troubles” (Carnes, 2001).
Sexual Addiction Therapists
There are not many things that can compete with the immediate gratification and pleasure one feels while sexually acting out. It then becomes a cycle in which the addict feels emotionally uncomfortable and relieves the discomfort with temporary relief and pleasure.
Patrick Carnes said, “Within the addictive system, sexual experience becomes the reason for being, the primary relationship for the addict” (2001). Sexual addiction is lonely.
