Is Sex Addiction an Addiction?
Journal Title: Edelweiss: Psychiatry Open Access - Year 2020, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
In the past decade or so there has been a development for the addiction paradigm to be applied to sexual behaviors. An increasing number of people are reporting excessive thoughts or behavior that is sexual in nature, and that they claim causes them suffering. They attribute this suffering as sex "addiction" [1]. Diagnosing sex addictions implicate narratives of a compulsive obsession with behaviors of a sexual nature. It also needs to obstruct everyday living [2].
