Female sex addiction is a sexual addiction rarely spoken about and this is the reason why women are less likely to identify their problem and seek help. A common belief classifies sex addiction as a predominant male problem. In reality, women of any age or social standing, and of any sexual orientation, culture, or ethnic background can become caught up in the cycle of sexual addiction.
If you are living with a lady who has this addiction, you’ll likely recognize these 2 signs:
1. Feeling remorse or guilt after sex: Shame and guilt often accompany most addictions, and this is prevalent when it comes to eating disorders, too. The more the person eats, the guiltier they feel. It’s the same with sexual engagement. It feels good at the moment, but shortly afterwards, not so much. The type of ‘emotional hangover’ that a sex addict often experiences after engaging in risky sexual behaviour is nothing to be envied. These feelings of inadequacy often follow them around for a long time until they get their next ‘fix’ and the cycle ensues.
2. Repetitive and compulsive sexual activities that take priority over your health, work or personal relationships.
