What Are Symptoms Of Sex Or Porn Addiction?

Your relationship with sex or pornography should be considered an addiction if It is interfering with your life. It’s as simple as that. You may hear differing definitions or boundaries from individual therapists or clinicians, but we like to keep it just that clear and simple. The situation can be complicated enough. We have worked with people who have lost jobs, marriages, homes, and more from sex and porn addictions. It is no joke. When you recognize you are struggling with these things, we can help. Some of the signs that sexual or pornographic addictions are causing concerns include the following:

  • Irritability and depression

  • Anxiety and inability to concentrate

  • Obsession with body image and objectifying people (seeing them as sex objects/organs)

  • Poor sexual relationships with people

  • Erectile dysfunction, premature or delayed ejaculation, or vaginal pain problems

  • Inability to feel satisfied after or during sex

  • Risk seeking behavior (often sexual in nature)

  • Inability to feel emotions or hold meaningful conversation

What Will Sexual or Porn Addiction Work Look Like?

The first thing we need to do is understand exactly where you are and what your current needs are. We will talk with you about this during your first few sessions. Then, we focus your ongoing session on both behavioral change and the underlying causes of your sexual struggles. This might mean trauma or grief work. We may recommend couples counseling, and we may use other techniques that are all evidence based and effective! We often work with clients in the following ways:

  • Understanding the impact of your sexual struggle

  • Making behavioral changes that are effective

  • Figuring out the relational damage and impact

  • Resolving underlying causes and patterns that keep people going back to sex

  • Cultivating a satisfying life with close, intimate relationships and real joy
