Sex & Pornography Addiction Counselling Psychotherapy
“Sex Addiction” is described as a compulsive need to engage in or perform sexual acts or activity in order to achieve the kind of “fix” of an unconscious difficulty or problem. This has many similarities to the person with an eating disorder, or alcohol problem or opiate use or other drug addictions, social media and doom scrolling or a chocoholic or a work or gym addiction. However sex addictions are also shrouded in secrecy and shame while being more powerful than opiate addiction.
Pornography, differs from Sex and other addictions, in that it enables the user to engage in a ‘non person’ relationship with the illusion that all of their addictive sexual compulsions can be satisfied.
Pornography & Sex Addictions can best be seen as an Attachment or Relationship disorders. Sex related addictions profoundly affects our most personal feelings like no other addiction.
Might you addicted to Pornography and or Sex?
Due to the intense conflicts that accompany it, sexual related addictions are also the most complex obsession. Counselling Psychotherapy provides a correct healing approach, in that it can be overcome with simple, straightforward, common sense methods.
Struggling with a sex addiction, such as promiscuity, compulsive masturbation, anonymous sex, phone sex, fetishes and voyeurism are quite different from an addiction to pornography. The best way to described pornography addiction is as an addiction or an obsessive relationship with a fantasy.
While pornography has little appeal or interest for one sexually addicted person, another person’s entire sex addiction revolves around pornography. For others, pornography is an added supplement to their regular addictive behaviour. The entrapped, isolation and shameful feelings of the sexually addicted person are extremely powerful.

Pornography, differs from other addictions, in that it enables the user to engage in a ‘non person’ relationship with the illusion that all of their addictive sexual compulsions can be satisfied. This may be described as an obsessive relationship with a ‘non person’ fantasy. Similar to other sex addiction pornography becomes a way of ‘non relating’ as in relation with an object rather than a person, resulting in the user’s fix. The addict becomes so enraptured that they destroy good relationships, while spending hours and days cruising the Internet for porn.
