Sex addiction is the compulsive need to have sexual intercourse as frequently as possible. There are numerous theories as to why a person becomes a sex addict that include, but are not limited to:

Personality disorder
Psychological disorder
Emotional issues
Low self-esteem
Childhood trauma
And coping from a troubled past

If left untreated, an addiction to sex can lead to serious physical, mental and emotional issues. A sex addiction can happen to any person, but there is treatment available. Treatment options include programs such as:

Group counseling
Live in rehab
Individual therapy
And outpatient rehab

There is not one program right for everywhere, so before choosing a program a person should talk to a professional about how to better serve them during the recovery process.

As more details of the Tiger Woods scandal come out, tabloids have been running such splashy headlines as "TIGER GIRL RACHEL CANCELS PRESS CONFERENCE - - $1 MILLION PAYOFF ALLEGED!!!"

Modern America has evolved into a society where television, movies, music, video games and the Internet constantly bombard our senses with provocative sexual message and imagery. We might as well face it - America is addicted to sex.

One of America's dirty little secrets is that it is now a nation that is completely addicted to pornography. One Focus on the Family survey found that 47% percent of families said that pornography is a problem in their homes. America's young men are particularly addicted - more than 70% of all men between the ages of 18 and 34 visit a pornographic site in a typical month.

The Internet has made access to pornography easier than ever before, and instead of getting bored with it, Americans seem to want more of it than ever. In fact, an increasing number of Americans are not even waiting to get home to view it.

Newsweek is reporting the results of a new survey that reveal that 25 percent of American employees who have Internet access visit porn websites while they are at work.

So if you are in an office with at least 3 coworkers, the odds are that at least one of you is looking at porn while you (Read More....)
