9 Identifying Signs of Hypersexual Disorder

Hypersexual disorder is an addiction where the victim has no control over their sexual desires. Just like an alcoholic craves his drink, a sex addict craves sex. These people usually do not feel any form of connection with their partner and when the act is over they tend to feel lonely. This is a disorder that progresses in time.


In the beginning, it seems to be harmless. But, the scariest part of this is that it can lead to rape. So, sex addicts do not only harm themselves, but also others surrounding them. Sexual disorders are more than just an unusual sex drive. They are an actual disorder that has its own causes and that needs treatment.

This is why it is very important that we know all the signs and symptoms, so we can help the ones who are suffering from it. Anyways, there are several signs that that show that a person might be suffering from a hypersexual disorder.

1.



They are masturbating too much. It is not a secret that everyone masturbates. But, when it comes to these people they overdo it. Someone who is addicted to sex will masturbate anytime, especially when they are having phone sex or watching porn. Masturbating too much is unhealthy and a characteristic of people who suffer from sex addiction.

2.



Their life is revolved around sex. All these people think about is when they are going to have their next sex. Whatever they say or do is related to sex.

Sex eventually become their life. If you notice that someone is having these problems, then they are most probably sex addicts.

3.



Frequent use of online and phone sex services and watches pornography. This means that for these people sex means life and they are definitely addicts. They frequently watch pornography and contents related to sex, and use online sex services.

4.



They are infidel. Sex addicts do not only limit themselves in having sex only with their significant others. They usually tend to have extramarital affairs or more than one sex partner, and if this progresses they end up hiring prostitutes to satisfy their sex needs.

5.



They remain emotionally detached from their sexual partners. All they want is sex. They don’t like to be emotionally involved with their sex partners. Once the act Is done, they do not care anymore.

6.



They frequently indulge in paraphilias. Paraphilias include activities, such as: masochism, voyeurism, or paedophilia. They are all a sign that the person suffers from hypersexual disorder.

7.



They are obsessed about sexual partners they can never have sex with. We are all attracted to something that we know is hard for us to get. But when this becomes an obsession, then it is not so beautiful. People addicted to sex start stalking the people they know they can never be with, and spy on them. Sometimes the situation gets even more serious when these addicts actually sexually assault these people, and this is very dangerous for both the parties.

8.



They engage in sexual behavior which is against their moral values. These sexual behaviors include paraphilias, extramarital affairs, or having sex with strangers. This is a big indicator that this person might be a sex addict. This is more shocking for those people who abide by very strong family values or who are very religious (devout Muslim, Christian, or Catholic). They go against their morals and beliefs just to fulfil their sexual desires and fantasies, even though they know that what they are doing is totally wrong.

 

9.



They cannot stop no matter how much they want to. This is one of the major and most important signs. They know that what they are doing is not normal. They just cannot stop, no matter how much they try to. Sex addiction is the same as every other addiction. These people need help.

If someone you know exhibits one or more of these signs, then chances are that they are suffering from a hypersexual disorder. You should immediately call a therapist and leave an appointment for them.

Sex addicts need you to notice since it is not always easy to talk about topics like this. Sex addiction can be treated and if everything goes right then the person can start a normal and healthy life pretty soon.

The road to recovery is never easy, but with support and a good treatment plan, everything Is going to be better. It is going to be hard, but totally worthy in the end.
