Sexual Addiction
Sexual addiction is best described as a progressive intimacy disorder characterized by compulsive sexual thoughts and acts. Like all addictions, its negative impact on the addict and on family members increases as the disorder progresses. Over time, the addict usually has to intensify the addictive behavior to achieve the same results. Technology and social media have introduced pornography that can develop easily into a serious behavioral addiction bordering on a substance-like addiction, stimulating dopamine and other neurotransmitters.
