Sexoholism is sex addiction. It belongs to the so-called behavioral addictions.
An addicted person treats sex as the most important aspect of his life. Sexoholism manifests itself in the need for a significant frequency and diversity of sexual activity.
Symptoms of sexoholism
The first signs of sexoholism are frequent masturbation, imagining sexual relations, and watching pornographic movies.
In the next stage, all actions of an addicted person are reduced to initiating sexual contact, even with random people.
The patient loses control of his own drive and strives for physical contact at all costs.
Causes of sexoholism
Sexoholism, like other types of addiction, involves giving yourself pleasure. The voltage accumulated in the body is temporarily reduced.
Often people addicted to sex come from families with addiction to alcohol or drugs.
Sexo-holism may co-occur with depression, and seeking body contact with another person may be an attempt to find support.
Sexoholism treatment
In the first stage of treatment, complete withdrawal is usually used.
Because this addiction is specific because it is not associated with the cessation of sex throughout life (as in the case of alcohol or drugs) the next stage of treatment is to restore a healthy sex life.
To this end, you should go to a psychiatrist or psychologist qualified in the field of behavioral addiction therapy.
