There are many sex addiction symptoms that could be evident that one's sexual activities could be leading to a problem:
- Having sex with multiple and/or anonymous partners.
- Engaging in chronic sexual activity with prostitutes and/or sex workers.
- Masturbating excessively, even to the point of injury.
- Habitually using pornographic materials and engaging in sexual objectification.
- Having or desiring to have sex in response to some psychological issue such as stress or depression.
Experts believe there are a number of underlying reasons why some people suffer are addicted to sex: it could be a mechanism they use to cope with deep, painful emotional issues such as childhood abuse or a past violent event (such as rape or sexual assault). There is also a small chance its cause is not psychological at all, but rather symptomatic of a neurological disorder.
