Sex Addiction
Sexual addiction, like other addictions, can lead to significant problems in one’s personal and professional life. Common consequences of sexual addiction might include loss of time on internet activity, personal shame, concealment of risky sexual behavior, and legal ramifications. Compulsive sexual thoughts or behavior can lead to significant emotional, relational, and spiritual problems in one’s life. It is extremely important to identify the symptoms of sexual compulsivity and to seek appropriate help as soon as possible.
