Like drug or alcohol addiction, porn and sex addiction can negatively affect a person’s physical and mental health, personal relationships, quality of life, and safety.
The medical community has not classified sex addiction or porn addiction as diagnosable mental health disorders. But that doesn’t mean these addictions aren’t real and don’t have profound impacts on people’s lives.
Porn and sex addiction may fall into the category of hypersexual disorder, an umbrella term that includes problematic behaviors, such as excessive masturbation, pornography use, sexual behavior with consenting adults, strip club visitation, and others.1
If addiction to sex or pornography is interfering with your life and ability to have healthy relationships, RECO Intensive can help.
Our addiction specialists in Delray Beach, FL have the training and tools to treat porn and sex addiction, based on the latest evidence-based therapies.
There’s no consensus on exactly what constitutes sex addiction, but the following symptoms may indicate a problem:
While there’s no standard definition of porn addiction, if porn use interferes with your daily life and relationships, it’s a problem. Symptoms of porn addiction can include:
Substance abusers who view images of drugs or alcohol show certain brain activity patterns on MRI scans. Research has found that compulsive porn users and sex addicts show similar brain activity patterns when viewing erotic images.
Excessive use of pornography, especially by men, can harm romantic relationships. One study found that female partners who perceived their boyfriends’ porn use to be excessive reported experiencing lower self-esteem, lower sexual satisfaction, and poorer relationship quality.2 Another study found that men who use porn excessively also tend to report lower levels of sexual intimacy in their real-life relationships.2
Excessive porn use or sexual behavior that significantly disrupts your life is serious, regardless of whether it is considered an addiction in the traditional medical sense. RECO Intensive treats porn and sex addiction in much the same way as we treat substance addictions. Treatment strategies may include:
