Sex addiction resembles other addictions.
Sex addicts use sex to self-medicate, to numb distressful emotions. Repeated numbing of distressful emotions can result in depression. Sex addicts, therefore, use sex as an antidepressant. Sex addicts, because they use sex to avoid feeling distressful emotions, also avoid emotional intimacies in relationships. Sex addicts can feel very lonely and isolated.
