Sex Addiction is a very harmful addiction to the addict, to their spouses/partners as well as others around the addict. Sex addiction can present in many different ways, such as infidelity, lying, needing validation and affirmation from others, pornography, sexting, communicating and/or being sexual with others via technology, strip clubs, massage parlors, and sex workers, etc.
Sometimes sex and love addiction are ‘invisible’ addictions that are not so easily seen, as other addictions such as alcoholism or drug addiction.
Even though sex and love addiction are process addictions, and sometimes more difficult to identify, people still suffer greatly with these addictions, because sex and love addiction are the ultimate addictions that create intimacy avoidance and inability to connect with the self and others. Isolation, loneliness, and emotional pain are regular feelings associated with sex and love addiction, even when people are acting out.
