Exhibitionism (exposing oneself) Voyeurism (peeping Toms) Anonymous sex Prostitution Massage parlors Sexting No single behavior defines sex addiction. However, these behaviors can potentially take control of a persons life and become unmanageable or cause negative consequences. Professional help should be sought when one knows he/she cant stop despite negative consequences. The good news is help is available! There is hope to stop what youre doing, even if youve repeatedly tried to stop before. Recovery from sex addiction can be a reality. The first step is to admit that there is a problem and that outside help is needed. Much hope exists for addicts and their families. Sex addicts have shown an ability to transform a life of self-destruction into a life of selfcare, a life in chaos and despair into one of confidence and peace. Dr. Patrick Carnes.
