Sexual addiction, like any other addiction involves defense mechanisms that allow the desired behavior to persist despite negative consequences. The sex addiction attributes the problems associated with his/her sexual behavior to anything but the sexual behavior. Since sexual addiction co-occurs with other addictions, the other addictions often get blamed for unintended behavior or consequences. And the combination of addictions and/or their patterns of interactions can prompt unintended behavior or consequences.
As most pornography users will admit, there is no such thing as just one more look. Addiction comes easily and quickly.
And, as with a drug addict, the brain habituates and is no longer able to get high on the same erotic images and stimulating visuals that once turned him on. Therefore, he must seek more – more graphic, more carnal and more lascivious.
Often pornography was used initially to increase arousal during sex. But the longer it is used the more it has the opposite effect. Men find then that they must use the images and scenes they viewed in pornography. And often want to act it out because “run of the mill” sex just doesn’t produce an orgasm. So, eventually, sexual intimacy with a spouse becomes difficult, or may be altogether cast aside because the only stimulation that works is the pornography.
There is no longer healthy sexual intimacy and the pornography addict becomes impotent in these three ways:
If she does, she probably thinks, “At least I’m not drinking”. But in fact, she is engaging in mood/mind altering behavior. When sex addicts are able to connect their own sexual compulsivity to negative consequences and outcomes, they like other addicts, attempt “softer, easier ways” to get their lives back under control. These attempts usually involve trying to manage their external environment a little more closely. It could involve using an internet filter to take away their digital drug of choice, putting a parental block on the television, putting a 900 number block on the phone, or it might even involve trying to engage in a romantic relationship.
Sexual addiction is also an intimacy disorder, where the addict has difficulty with being truly intimate in a relationship. The sex addict, in an attempt to get the sexual compulsivity under control, may believe that if they get married or focus all their sexual activity or energy in the relationship, that their sexual acting out will stop. They believe that their need for porno, one-night stands, fantasy, (or whatever their sexual drug of choice is), will go away
