Our view on sex addiction
The concept sex addiction is complex and we strive to constantly stay up to date with the latest the research on the problem.
New Beginning is critical of the diagnosis of sex addiction. Compulsive behavior does not necessarily mean that you have an addictive disease.
Both love and sex are a pleasure for (many of) us and many with sexual compulsive behaviors experience a pleasure and excitement in what they do and would continue with their behaviors, unless a relative had a different arousal pattern or values regarding the behaviors.
It is a fine balancing act to determine what is healthy sexuality. Is it about you as a client needing help accepting that it is included; sex with multiple partners; watching gay porn even though you define yourself as straight; practicing BDSM; kink etc. in your arousal pattern and dare to stand up for it or do you want to change the behavior because it creates great suffering for you. That it helps you to deafen or suppress one or more negative emotions in a destructive way?
