Am I obsessed with sex?
Who sets the boundaries between good and bad, and who sets the boundaries between a testosterone high and an abnormal high? Tempted to read...
Maybe there was a time when you looked at yourselves in a mirror and said: “What if I’m obsessed with sex?” Or you watched your moves during sexual intercourse, as did 
American Psycho in a threesome. You can relax, I am sure that nobody knows exactly how to classify this human trait.
Who is obsessed with sex?
People who believe they are obsessed with sex claim that the whole life revolves around sex, wherever and whenever, and in some way they know that such behaviour does not give any special thrills. However, they also need a constant amount of non-special thrills. Otherwise, they are in a melancholy and sullen mood and, above all, they are irritated. A patient admitted to Peggy Elam, a therapist and psychologist, that gender as well as race did not matter much to her. Only the act in the form of sexual intercourse was important. She often compared herself to drug and alcohol addicts. She concluded her thoughts about the problem, as she saw this trait, by saying that she desperately wanted to have a monogamous relationship that would help her stop this obsession.
What do experts say?
You will probably like the response of therapists. Namely, experts themselves have not yet clearly defined “
sex addiction”, and thus an official diagnosis cannot be made by a psychiatrist. However, if you consider yourselves as someone who is aware that their behaviour is a burden and it causes stressful situations and self-destructive conduct, it is time to admit that. Then, you can set a goal to change certain habits.
It is essential that you learn to make a distinction between “being in the company because of the company” and “being in the company because it leads to sexual intercourse”. Maybe you are one of those people who behave according to the principle of constant attention, and if you think that you do not attract so much attention because it is redirected elsewhere, you have sexual intercourse to compensate for the loss. To start with, ask yourselves a few questions...
Adventures of a sex maniac who never was that
Michael Douglas had to enter a rehab clinic because his wife caught him in bed with a friend. Naturally, that is not a sufficient reason to label a person as a sex addict, but there are a lot of situations in the world of celebrities that are applied to a wider part of the society, which also happened in that case. Before that time nobody spoke of sex addiction, from the first part of Basic Instinct on. Therapists who consider such a problem as serious say that this group of people is as irresponsible as drug addicts and alcoholics because their wild sex life endangers their families, health and jobs. When speaking about jobs; how many of you visit porn or erotic websites at the workplace? And how many of you take laptops home at the end of your working hours because you do not have enough time to do your work at the office?
In any case, there are different opinions. I think a line should be drawn between megalomaniac sex drive and sex addiction. In case of the first, you are doomed to constantly seek pleasure and self-confirmation and in case of the second, you will probably be referred to a hospital environment where you will be persuaded that your behaviour is wrong. Obviously, there is a very thin line between fun and abnormal. And on which side are you? Let others tell you that, for instance, unprofessional therapists – people that are close to you.
