Sex addiction: Sex addiction is characterized by compulsive sexual thoughts and acts which increase over time. It may be limited to compulsive masturbation/watching porn, but may also include escalating sexual activity with multiple partners. Like with other addictions, family relationships ; other roles suffer. Women are more likely than men to call it "love addiction." http://tinyurl.Com/n5ay2j8 much shame.

Addiction: Sex addiction , any addiction , can be seen as a manifestation of a shame response. It can cause shame but it's also a response to shame. I understand shame to be a physical feeling that results from not getting what we want. When that happens we can try to run away , blame ourselves for the hurt , blame others for the hurt or we can act out indulging in activities that can become addictive.
