Anna Dear Anna, Thank you for writing. Obviously, there are no easy answers for sexual addiction. I would say that underneath the drive and lust is a deep thirst. A seemingly unquenchable thirst for something to satisfy, something to take away pain, something to bring excitement. That might not make sense, but in any addiction there is emotional pain that needs numbing, a psychological and physiological need for a high, and a deep spiritual thirst for answers to life and relationship with God.
People look for answers to life in all the wrong places.
You probably have. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. So people fall into a trap and the get hooked physically in addictions or some sin and the temptation gets greater psychologically.
