10 Warning Signs You’re A Sex Addict

Do you experience problems in many aspects of your life because of your sex habits? Here are 10 red flags to look out for to know if you may be a sex addict.

Sex is considered as nature’s gift to humanity. Unlike other animals who merely have sex to procreate, humans experience pleasure from sex. While sex is but natural, there are people who may come across all sorts of trouble because of it.

If you can’t go through a day without porn, or maybe you got caught cheating by your wife or partner, then sex addiction may be part of the equation. A sex addict, after all, just like any other addiction, would seek out and satisfy their addiction despite the negative consequences.

However, a sex addict would have a hard time admitting the truth to other people, even to themselves. Even if they lose their jobs, ruin their reputations, break families and even get poor health due to their sex habits, they would not acknowledge that they are a sex addict.

If you think you or someone you know is a sex addict, take a look at these 10 red flags to know for sure.

10 Warning Signs You Could Be A Sex Addict

1. You’re constantly preoccupied with sex. You’re always thinking about sex. In fact, you can’t go 10 minutes without fantasizing or day dreaming about your next sexual exploit. And if you’re not thinking about sex, you’re having sex.
2. You have sex despite negative consequences. Perhaps you have become pregnant or have made someone pregnant because of your sex drive. Or you may have gotten a sexually transmitted disease because of it. Other consequences may include losing your job, ruining your reputation, losing a relationship, or even getting broke because of your sex habits.
3. You have an uncontrollable urge to masturbate. You masturbate a lot. You do it even in public places, or even just under your desk at work.
4. You feel ashamed or guilty afterwards. You feel ashamed or have a feeling of remorse whenever you’ve done your deed. And you hate yourself, but you can’t stop.
5. You feel powerless over your urges. You just can’t stop. You’re even willing to lose everything–or perhaps you don’t care if you do–as long as you keep on going.
6. You have unhealthy and short-lived relationships. It could be because of your weird sexual preferences, or your infidelity, but your relationships are always dysfunctional, because for some reason, you are.
7. Your needs need to be met more and more. It’s like there’s no satisfying your urges. You go deeper and deeper in those urges and you want more and more to be satisfied. At first, certain kinks can be fun, but you tend to go overboard.
8. You lead a double life. You can be a functional sex addict, able to keep a job, keep a relationship, and your friends and family has no idea. At first, you are great at hiding your activities or habits by lying and deception, but these are bound to catch up on you.
9. You exploit yourself and others. You may tend to treat people as sex objects. You couldn’t care less what people would think, or how you may hurt the people who care about you. As for your sexual conquests, you may never care about them as soon as you’re done with them. You just do what you want.
10. You want to stop, but you can’t. Maybe the problems start to bubble up to the surface, and you wan’t to cut down on your sexual activities. However, you always fail at controlling yourself and you still end up giving in to your sex addiction.
