Effects to the self
Sex addiction is best described as a state of a person who has an unusually high sex drive or obsession with sex—a misuse of natural sex drive. It usually starts during puberty but can also develop later in life. Once it starts, an addicted person may attempt to control it, but cannot. As the addiction progresses, all the aspects of the person's life is affected.Just like other types of addiction, it can lead a person to desire sex and the thought of sex more and more, leading to various acts including pornography addiction, chronic masturbation, phone sex, extramarital affairs for married individuals, voyeurism, and sexual intercourse with anonymous person. Sex addiction may also lead to becoming sex offenders, although not all sex offenders are sex addicts.Once a person becomes addicted to sex, he or she loses self-respect, desire for intimate relationship, and avoid association with family and relatives.
