Sex Addiction Disorders.

Sex addiction is the uncontrollable urge to behave sexually even though negative consequences may occur as a result of that behavior. Various organizations have been created to support sex addicts as well as their families in the treatment community. The Internet is a concern for therapists because it allows sex addicts to access pornography in an anonymous way. A study examining the behaviors of sex addicts is reported here, as is research conducted, which focuses on the sexual behaviors of college students. Concerns addressing the lives of clergy members and comparisons between behavioral dependencies, like gambling addictions, and substance dependencies are made here as well.
