Controlling Sexual Addiction

It may appear unusual at first to believe that sex may become an addiction. It's an innate biological activity, not a chemical consumed into the system. But even as intoxicants and drugs may become habitforming, so may natural activities like eating and sexual activity. These activities become problematic when they're utilized as a means of escaping hurt or tedium, and when the behaviors carry on even when they get destructive. Some people have described sex addiction like this: The substance utilized was humanity. You marshall all your intellect and appeal and power to keep the dependency alive.

Getting fired from a job doesn't make them quit. Losing a mate doesn't make them quit. Risking their life and the lives of their sexual partners doesn't make them quit. Everything and everybody in your life, who you are and what you trust, joins line around it.
