Sex addiction can be defined as repeated unwanted sexual behavior. It affects men and women, single and married, young and old. When someone has decided that he wants to stop acting out sexually -- whether online or in real-life -- and he repeatedly finds that he cannot stop, no matter how hard he tries, he may be suffering from sex addiction. Some of the areas of acting out include Internet pornography, one-night stands, prostitution, anonymous sex, massage parlors, strip clubs, and more.
Thankfully, there is a way out. If you find yourself struggling with unwanted sexual activity, whether online or offline, you can get help. I have extensive experience working with sex addicts, and with the right support, people can recover and find sobriety and serenity in their lives.
