You have answered yes to question(s)

If you answered “yes” to the majority of these questions, then it is likely that you may have an addiction to sex. Very often, sex addictions may start as a distraction or something to do when our partner is not available. However, as the compulsion grows, we may find ourselves spending more and more time preoccupied with sexual activities.

Although checklists are not the diagnostic measure of whether or not a person has an addiction, they can be an indicator of problems that should be examined and addressed. Chronic masturbation, compulsive sexual activity or watching porn can be symptoms of other problems or issues underlying the behaviour.

If you would like help distinguishing issues in your life and deciding if they are really problems or not, you may benefit from talking to an objective but compassionate professional counsellor, psychologist or therapist.
