Sex addicts often refer to sex as their "pain reliever" or "tension reliever." Other indicators that sexual behavior may be out of control include: an obsession with sex that dominates one's life, including sexual fantasies that interfere with work performance excessive time devoted to planning sexual activity that it interferes with other activities strong feelings of shame about one's sexual behavior feelings of powerlessness or inability to stop despite predictable adverse consequences inability to make a commitment to a loving relationship and/or extreme dependence upon a relationship as a basis for feelings of self-worth little or no genuine emotional satisfaction or attachment gained from sexual encounters Compulsive or addictive sexual behavior may take various forms, including what many regard as "normal" heterosexual behavior. The type of sexual activity and even the frequency or number of partners are not of great significance in diagnosing this problem. Some individuals have a naturally stronger sex drive than others, and the range of human sexual activity is so broad that it is difficult to define "normal" sexual behavior. What is significant is a pattern of self-destructive or high risk sexual behavior that is unfulfilling, a person is unable to stop, and their life becomes unmanageable as a result. The consequences include: broken marriages and relationships severe depression suicidal thoughts low self-esteem shame self-hatred hopelessness despair intense anxiety loneliness fear of abandonment remorse self-deceit. moral conflict
