Sex and Love Addiction
Sex and love addicts find themselves compulsively seeking out sexual gratification and/or interpersonal relationships regardless of the adverse consequences arising in the domestic, social or occupational arenas of their lives.
Paradoxically, love and sex addicts have difficulty forming intimate bonds with their partners and others and tend to gain decreasing satisfaction from every encounter. Sex and love addicts will often risk financial security, status, self-respect and personal safety for the “fix” of a sexual encounter or relationship.
These compulsive behaviours are sometimes the cause of relapse in individuals who have formerly completed a treatment programme for an addiction, chemical dependence, affective disorder or a different compulsive behaviour.
