SEX ADDICTION

Sex addiction is when someone medicates their feelings and handles stress through their sexual behavior. The person cannot stop this acting out for any length of time by himself but spends a lot of time in pursuit of the sexual behavior and/or fantasy or he or she binges. This becomes their major coping mechanism.
