i'd love to write on Sex and advice

The Nature Of Sex Addiction

Sex is powerful because it moves fluidly between the conscious and unconscious, emotional and chemical, physical and spiritual realms. The downside is that, its biochemistry can be as addictive as that of a synthetic drug. If you keep repeating an experience that affects our brain’s chemistry, we start depending on that experience to feel balanced.

If we look at the psychological motivation for addiction as well as its pathway through the brain, we find three basic categories:

Arousal addictions that stimulate and thrills.
Satiation addiction that ease tension and comfort.
Fantasy addictions that escape mundane.
Drugs range from stimulants to opiates and to hallucinogens, but sex spans all these three

Neuropath ways. In other words, it can fill an addictive need a human being can muster.

If you are wounded, unloved or unsure, sex can be addictive as cocaine. But we s****** away while sexual addiction destroys people’s lives; we are too busy to believe it.

Mention sex addiction, and it is taken as a joke:” this is a problem”. So…. how do you know if you are addicted?

There are so many funny stories floating around, such as:

The woman whose husband went to the office on a Sunday to do some catching up? She and their 8yr old daughter found him in the rest room, dead as a result of Autoerotic Asphyxiation.
There was the 38 yr old dentist who, furious about his wife’s sexual unavailability, secretly drugged her so that he could have sex with her.
The young executive who spends his employer’s time on Internet pornography right there in the office.
A senior management staff sleeping with a cleaner in his office.
Sexual addiction is simply an obsessive preoccupation and compulsive act-out that spirals out of control. It happens not in quest for pleasure but because, somewhere along the line, the psyche confused sex with love and the body interpreted the rush of adrenaline as triumph over fear, loneliness and Inadequacy.

Sex then becomes a powerful addictive substitute because, for a few seconds, it fills the emptiness. And that fleeting comfort keeps them coming back for more.



The Cycle Of The Addiction
The cycle begins when a sexual experience temporarily but very effectively relieves painful anxiety, distracts your mind from its problems and releases your body’s lonely tensions Suddenly you feel supremely powerful, in control of anything that might hurt you. You feel desired, satisfied and loved. The next time you start to feel anxious, lonely, hurt or inadequate, you may repeat the process. And it escalates.

Usually there is a predisposition to addiction: a life land mined violations of trust and utter inability to create intimacy. Dr Mark Schwartz, the clinic director of the Masters & Johnson Clinic, Famous, for rehabilitative therapy, says, “people discover that they can get high from it.” Sex is doubly intoxicating because of the hit of adrenaline that comes with the excitement, plus if you are having sex with a new partner. It’s Fantasy sex anything you want it to be, except committed, meaningful and intimate.

True intimacy is having a deep relationship with another person. Instead of strengthening the intimacy like most people think, casual sex punctuates it. Addictive sex is not just a comma: it is the entire sentence. It preoccupies, sending messengers into tardy motel rooms: driving happily married executives to park benches for nervous, furtive anonymous sex. What is the appeal of sex without tenderness, fidelity and all the positive values we are told to cherish.

That in nutshell is the addictive cycle. It’s like crack you go way up and down very fast.

For some people, the addiction is so severe that they have sex with people with active sarcoma lesions (a Sign Of AIDS), adds, Schwartz. It gives you some idea of the depth of craziness. There is nothing in our rational minds that would allow us to understand that.
