Sex addiction laid bare

Sex addiction has more exposure today than ever, with household celebrities such as Russell Brand speaking openly about the condition; but what causes sex addiction and what does the problem entail? Dr Abigael San, a clinical psychologist at The Priory Hospital, says, “Sex addiction, like other addiction problems, is a way of escaping when things get difficult. It’s a coping strategy and it can be very preoccupying. Sex addicts might find themselves spending lots of time sourcing pornography, looking at it and trying to get hold of it.”

Most people think that a sex addiction must stem from a sex-related issue, but usually it comes from the nature of addiction itself and is more about the feeling of helplessness. Dr. San explains, “Sex addiction runs a lot deeper than just sex. Of course, factors like a high sex drive are going to be relevant but they’re rarely the cause of sex addiction.” Although it’s an easy stereotype to place, sex addiction is usually more common in men than women, but that could be for a number of reasons, ranging from the fact we might expect men to carry the addiction, to the possibility that it’s more acceptable for a man to have it. With the Internet being readily available, sex addiction has more accessibility, so anyone who might have a tendency to be a sex addict would be able to go down that path.

Dr. San believes that with the right course of action, people can beat sex addiction, “Sex addiction should be treated in the same way as any other addiction problem, which means looking at the reasons behind the addiction and building up other areas of the addict’s life, such as going to therapy meetings, where they’ll meet new people and have less opportunity for encouraging their addiction.” The best way to deal with sex addiction, or even worries about sex addiction, is to have an assessment by a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist, and then take relevant addiction treatment from there.You can find links to help you find a chartered psychologist online at www.bps.org.uk

We'll, this is somehow a promotion of a cosmopolitan magazine(hehehe). One might get a copy, i bet. :)

Reflection, reflection on the article,anyone? Okey, I believe that people with nothing much to do can most likely be "Sex Addict". Those that are not preoccupied with things that are more important. Those people that are of NO FAITH IN GOD.

Goal and God - oriented human beings have things in mind other than sex. One must focus on relevant things during their spare time, off from offices and school breaks. Join an organization, a religious organization most especially. Participate and be active in all their activities. Those things that keep you busy and productive can keep you away from thinking and doing sex that would lead to sex addiction.

Let us bare in mind the deeper meaning of sex, the more precious meaning of it. It is made basically for the process of PROCREATION. Let us be responsible enough with the wonderful purpose of the word "sex" that God has shared with us.

Thanks be to God, and super thanks to Yahoo!news for this article.

Adios!
