Porn or Sex Addiction / Out of Control Sexual Behavior
Sex Addiction vs "Out of Control Sexual Behavior"
Sex therapists debate whether we should classify harmful compulsive sexual behavior as an "addiction" and often prefer the term "out of control sexual behavior". I am comfortable using whatever terminology is useful to you and will work to understand your goals for changing your sexual behavior. In addition to minimizing harmful sexual behavior, I want to develop a vision of healthy sexuality that resonates with you.
Porn and Masturbation
Many people come to sex therapy due to excessive or harmful engagement with pornography, often with an issue of masturbating too much, viewing content they regret watching, or having a generally negative and shameful relationship to their masturbation and porn watching behavior.
Hyper-sexuality
Sometimes our sexuality can lead to harm to ourselves or others. People who end up cheating, or having risky or unprotected sex might have shame or negative feelings about their sexual activity.
