Some people become addicted to sex. Compulsive sexuality is an addiction and a problem with control.
Healthy sex is a fulfilling expression of affection and love.
It provides a channel by which to achieve deeper emotional intimacy. Yet, for some, there is a driving compulsion to engage in sexual activity excessively and harmfully. Sexual addiction gives a destructive turn to normal, life-enhancing activity. Sexually addicted persons are unable to control or postpone their sexual feelings and actions. They may go on sexual binges, futilely striving to satisfy an insatiable sexual craving.
