What Is Sex Addiction?
Sex addiction is a behavioral condition causing repetitive sexual thoughts or actions, despite harmful consequences. These patterns may include compulsive porn use, risky hookups, or emotional detachment from partners.
The condition mirrors substance misuse, such as alcohol addiction. It involves strong urges, withdrawal-like symptoms, and loss of control. Many also experience anxiety, depression, or trauma that drives the behavior.
