Compulsive Sexual Behaviors

Compulsive Sexual Behavior

In sexual compulsions, sex is a priority more important than family, work and values. Sex becomes the source of nurturing and trust-the organizing principle in that individual's life. The individual then sacrifices what he/she cherishes most in order to preserve the unhealthy sexual behavior. Such behavior causes severe stress to both the individual and his/her family.

Compulsive sexual behavior can include compulsive masturbation, sexual acting out, pornography obsession and compulsion, visits to prostitutes, exhibitionism/voyeurism, indecent phone calling, and child molesting or incest. Obviously, some compulsive sexual behavior is illegal. All compulsive sexual behavior is damaging-to the individual and to involved others.
