Understanding Love Addiction Therapy Versus Sex Addiction

By Catherine Smith


When it comes to sex addiction, there remains some controversy as to whether or not the condition actually exist. As one might imagine, the same goes for Love Addiction Therapy. While this is the case, those effected by these conditions continue to argue the point.

Currently, there remains a great deal of controversy as to whether or not this type addiction exists. Although, for those who have experienced first hand the disappointment of repeated rejection, most will suggest the addiction is a reality. For, it can often be vastly disappointing when someone a person loves has no interest in a romantic relationship.

While this is the case, the definition of this type of addiction includes having a compulsive pattern with regards to relationships, sexuality and romance. In many cases, these compulsive behaviors can have negative effects for addicts and partners. In fact, these addictions often end in failed marriages, legal issues, custody battles and sexually transmitted diseases.

One symptom in which these addicts share is that of being active on several different dating websites, talking on chat lines or reading personals in local newspapers at the same time. While many sex addicts may become involved in or with the sex work industry, others often refrain. As such, while some symptoms are shared, there are others which remain separate and apart from each addict.

Whatever the case and regardless of symptoms, there are now therapies available to help those who feel one may have this addiction. Some of these therapies include learning how to build healthy relationships, setting appropriate boundaries and achieving legitimate intimacy. While this type addiction can be quite difficult, an addict of this nature becoming involved with a sex addict can often be a deadly match.

These addicts often need to be cautious of becoming involved with sex addicts. While it can often be difficult to know if someone is a sex addict or otherwise, there are often signs. For example, when meeting someone new, if the individual attempts to make a move, is rejected and yet continues to do so, this person may very well be a sex addict.

When it comes to heartbreak, both have caused much pain in this area. For, whether one is the addict or partner, there is often disappointment when a relationship ends. Whether that be a long-term marriage or a casual dating relationship, there is often one person whom experiences more pain than the other.

Ultimately, it is up to each individual to determine whether or not one is interested in a long-term relationship. Individuals going through a dating process need to clarify any intentions one has towards a commitment or long-term relationship as early on in the process as possible. For, while dating can be fun, falling in love only to discover it is a one sided love can often be more destructive than most people realize.
