But if you have an overwhelming need for it and are so intensely preoccupied with this need that it affects your job or relationships, you may have a problem.<\/p>\n<p>You may spend so much time in sexually related activities that you neglect important aspects of your day-to-day life in social, occupational and recreational areas.\u00a0 You may find that you fail repeatedly at attempts to keep your sexual desires or activities under control.<\/p>\n<p>This potentially serious condition is sometimes called hypersexuality, nymphomania (mostly women), erotomania, perversion, sexual obsession or even sexual addiction, just as when one is addicted to a drug.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the name attached to it, the condition is a very real affliction that interferes with everyday living.\u00a0 Men are more commonly affected than women, as I\u2019m sure you all expected.<\/p>\n<p>SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS<\/p>\n<p>If your sexual behavior is considered compulsive, it may be displayed in a number of ways including:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Having multiple sexual partners or extramarital affairs.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Having sex with a succession of unknown partners or prostitutes, and treating them as objects to be used for sex.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Engaging in excessive masturbation, as often as five to 15 times a day.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Using pornographic materials frequently.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Exposing yourself in public.\u00a0 Luckily we don\u2019t see them in Dominica except in the mentally ill.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Feeling compelled to have sex when you\u2019re stressed, anxious, or depressed.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Experiencing sexual excitement by receiving pain during sex (masochism), or by inflicting it (sadism).<\/p>\n<p><strong>CAUSES OF COMPULSIVE SEXUAL BEHAVIOR<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most experts believe that psychological disorders are at the root of the problem, involving emotional problems, including mood and personality disorders.<\/p>\n<p>For example, they say that if you grew up in a dysfunctional family or were sexually, emotionally, or physically abused as a child, you may have developed an unhealthy attitude toward sex.\u00a0 These early experiences may lead you to feel shameful and unworthy, emotions that can inhibit normal sexual expression and intimacy and can result in extremes in sexual activity.<\/p>\n<p>If you feel lonely and depressed, you may think of your sexual compulsions as a way of filling the voids in your life.\u00a0 But even if your sexual behavior brings you short-term relief, your negative feelings will likely return, often at an intensified level.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, your sexual behavior may be caused by diseases such as epilepsy or Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHEN TO SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most people with this problem need professional treatment, because attempts at self-care are usually unsuccessful.<br \/>\nThere are some questions you can ask yourself.\u00a0 For example:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Can I control my sexual behavior?<br \/>\n&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Is my sexual behavior hurting my relationships with friends and family, affecting my ability to work, or causing me to get in trouble with the law and getting arrested?<br \/>\n&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Is sex constantly on my mind, even when I don\u2019t want to be thinking about it?<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0If you think you could be obsessed with sex, look for a doctor who specializes in treating sexual disorders.\u00a0 You may need the services of a psychiatrist or psychologist. Your family doctor (general practitioner) can refer you to them if you prefer not to go directly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHAT ARE THE COMPLICATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Among the complications of compulsive sexual behavior are that you may:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Neglect your partner or become deceitful in you marriage of other primary relationship.\u00a0 This can jeopardize or destroy the relationship.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Accumulate large financial debts spending money on prostitutes or pornography.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0CONTRACT SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES, INCLUDING HIV, and place other partners at risk.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Lose your focus at work, risking your job.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Cause an unwanted pregnancy.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Engage in other high-risk behavior, such as abuse of drugs or alcohol.<br \/>\n\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Feel guilt and shame about your inability to control sexually unacceptable behaviors that interfere with normal relationships.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOW IS THIS DISORDER TREATED?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0As mentioned before, psychological treatment is often going to be necessary. Individually or with a group, therapy can help many people manage their sexual obsessions.\u00a0 One can be treated as an inpatient, but more often, outpatient treatment is sufficient.\u00a0 Support from family and friends can assist in the recovery process.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Marriage counseling is often necessary to help resolve the relationship problems that arise from compulsive sexual behavior.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Antidepressant medications, such as Prozac, Paxil, or Zoloft may be prescribed to reduce the anxiety of depression that are often associated with sexual obsession.<\/p>\n<p>In our culture, many men and women will not accept that there can be such a thing as sexual obsession or compulsion &#8211; addiction.\u00a0 It is thought that the more one has, the merrier.\u00a0 Even the marital and relationship problems that result are often considered as just the way we do things in this part of the world.\u00a0 The attitude is, \u201cit happens, so what, that\u2019s our way of life, our culture, our heritage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I invite you to start thinking differently. By making things better in your little world, and someone else doing the same thing in their own world, we can eventually create a better whole world for us to live in.<\/p>\n<p>Think about this problem if you have signs of it.\u00a0 See your psychiatrist, psychologist, or counselor. They can help.\u00a0 Take care.<\/p>\n<p>See you next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OVERVIEW I think it\u2019s fair to say that sex crosses just about everyone\u2019s mind at some time, maybe fairly often, and that\u2019s not abnormal.
