Some time ago, there was a lot of speculation on WeChat that a rich woman in her 50s in Thailand was looking for young men in their 20s and 30s to satisfy her sex life more than 20 times a day. If this news seems to be true, and if it is, from a medical point of view, this “rich and powerful” rich woman may have a “sex addiction” problem. The famous American golfer Tiger Woods, who has had affairs with more than a dozen women, is also suffering from sex addiction and is being treated at the Mississippi-Behavioral Health and Addiction Services. Sexual addiction is a “disease” that is often questioned, but it is real. Let’s take a look at what sex addiction is. What is sex addiction? Sexual addiction is also known as compulsive sexual behavior, or sexual addiction, sex addiction, or orgasm addiction. It is a compulsion related to sexual behavior in which the person unconsciously desires to have sex with other people very much. Sexual addiction is very common among people with OCD, occurring in about 20% of patients. Because this addiction is associated with sexual behavior, patients are often ashamed to talk about it and to seek help from outside sources, making the condition worse. What are the dangers of sex addiction? 1, sex addiction is a serious damage to the body and mental behavior. Sexual addiction damages the body’s motivation, as well as the emotions, so that people are depressed, weak will, indecisive, indecisive, and even irritable and perverse, suspicious and fearful. The person may be impatient or retreat, lacking patience and persistence, as well as the confidence and courage to win. Sexual addiction may also affect the intelligence, memory and thinking ability to produce obvious damage, and then affect the ability to work. 2, sex addiction will also affect the family, too much sex leads to partners can not meet, and then lead to family conflicts, if an extramarital affair will destroy family happiness. What to do about sex addiction? First of all, look for the cause of sex addiction, if it is a physical disease, you should seek medical attention to eliminate the cause of the disease. If it is caused by a mental illness, then you should seek help from a psychiatrist. Many sex addicts often have anxiety disorders or compulsive disorders, so active treatment of these psychological disorders can often be affected by the effect of the bottom of the barrel, and thus reduce the degree of sex addiction. The increasing mental stress brought on by modern society suggests other healthy ways to reduce stress, such as running, gymnastics, ball games and other sports, singing, dancing and other recreational activities, but not obsessed with sexual activities, and to prevent “sexual dependence”. You can also develop a specific treatment schedule, gradually reduce the number of sexual partners, and extend the interval until the sex addiction is eliminated.
