Relationship Advice on Sex Addictions

 
There are a whole lot of one-liners floating around related to sex addiction, but like other addictions, there’s really nothing funny about it. 

It destroys lives and relationships just as decisively as addictions to drugs or alcohol.

A sex addict can be addicted to one type of behavior, or a variety of types.

As is true with other addictions, addicts experience a sense of powerlessness to change a compulsive behavior, and as a result their lives become unmanageable.

The lives of women who are in relationships with them don’t fare so well either.

So if you and a Prince are just starting a sexual relationship, how do you know it might be leading down a dangerous path?

Clues that you may be dating a sex addict

Internet porn Yes, a lot of people are watching Internet porn, and they’re not all men. But if you discover your Prince is spending an inordinate amount of time online, and he’s going to porn sites, it’s definitely a danger sign.

We’re not going to tell you to snoop, but you can always check the history of the sites he’s visited recently by clicking the down arrow on the Internet browser of his computer.

Not all men are smart enough to delete the addresses of sites where they’ve been lately.

You might find out something you’d rather not know, but we believe it’s better to know it.

Other tipoffs could be

• irritability when questioned about why he spends so much time online,
• going to a room with a computer where he can lock you out,
• nervousness, quickly shutting down the screen when you approach.

Other clues of sex addiction are less obvious, especially in the beginning of a relationship. But, depending on how far you’ve progressed, you may detect

• changes in sleep patterns,
• demands for privacy,
• evidence of lying,
• personality changes,
• a loss of interest in sex with you
• guilt or feelings of guilt after sex
• he quickly “checks out” after making love. He leaves the bed, leaves the room or possibly even leaves the house, even though there’s no reason to do so.
