Men who experience sex addiction feel an overwhelming loss of control. Their sexual behavior feels compulsive and excessive and impacts their life in a negative way. However, these patterns will always vary; what feels like sex addiction to one man might look like healthy sexuality to another. It’s not necessarily the behavior that suggests an addiction but how men feel about it.
Though there is no standard definition, sex addiction does exist and has damaging consequences for the men who experience it and their loved ones. This compulsive behavior is overwhelming, obsessive, and does not lead to fulfillment. Many men live in cycles of shame, guilt, and loneliness- but sex addiction therapy
It is important to remember that there is no scientific definition of sexual addiction, so this list should not be considered as a guide. However, we recommend you seek professional help if some of these behaviours are persistent:
- Seeking sex from individuals you perceive are more vulnerable
- Rarely having sex with partners you would consider equal (actually, you are scared of those partners)
- Always trying to seduce women (or men) regardless of the situation
- Rarely in a committed relationship or compulsively unfaithful when in one
- Frequently visiting sex clubs, strip clubs, or porn sites
Men experiencing sexual addiction are in intense pain, feeling powerless and inadequate in their lives. We ensure Men Therapy Toronto provides the tools and strategies to address these issues, including:
- The freedom to choose your therapist so you can connect with someone you trust.
- Flexible online therapy options are available across Canada, so you can work on yourself wherever you are.
- A judgement-free environment to address your concerns and experiences.
- Our Virtual Drop-In program lets you try one no-cost session with a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying).
