sex addiction
Sexual addiction refers to the experience in which individuals report being unable to manage their sexual behaviour. The expression "sexual addiction" is used to describe the actions of a person who has an uncommonly relentless sex drive or a fixation with sex. This may manifest in many ways such as compulsive masturbation, cybersex, extra-marital affairs, molestation, and sex with multiple partners or with the use of prostitutes, or an unhealthy obsession with pornographic material.
The most important means to recovery from hidden sexual acts, unfaithfulness and lies is a readiness to take the essential risks of openness facing their issues and then seeking help. Tailored Rehab is able to discuss the needs of an individual and refer them to the most appropriate help for their individual and personal circumstances.
Treatment of sexual addiction will generally focus on controlling the addictive behaviour and helping the person develop a healthy sexuality. The therapeutic goal in sexual addiction is abstinence only from compulsive sexual behaviour with a parallel objective of integrating a healthy sexuality.
Treatment includes education about healthy sexual relationships, individual counselling and also the use of support groups and 12 step recovery programs for people with sexual addictions for example Sex Addicts Anonymous, Sex & Love Addicts Anonymous, Sexaholics Anonymous, and Sexual Compulsives Anonymous.
