The danger of sex addiction

When a person starts to have trouble controlling certain sexual behaviors and impulses, sexual addiction can occur. His habits and needs may become consistently  excessive and compulsive, and his or her sexual thoughts, fantasies and desires may become increasingly extreme and obsessive in nature

 

They will spend an unreasonable amount of time engaged in sexual activities. In spite of the negative consequences of this behavior, the person will not be able to stop, and this will begin to have an impact on many areas of his/her life, including their health, personal relationship, work and family commitment.

Excessive and consistent use of pornography
