Sex Addiction - is it a real addiction?
Does sex addiction really exist? A recent study published in the journal of Socioaffective Neuroscience and Psychology suggests that maybe it doesn’t—which is bad news for many celebrities who have made it trendy in recent years and partners who get caught cheating to claim a clinical addiction to sex as an explanation for sexual misbehavior and go to treatment.

Despite common misunderstandings, this idea of addiction is not simply about "too much sex." Addiction is a serious problem in which one engages in persistent and escalating patterns of sexual behavior despite increasing negative consequences to one's self or others.


The study (which, amazingly, is the first of its kind) measured how the brains of people who struggle with sexually compulsive behavior respond to sexual images.If sex can be addictive in the clinical sense, scientists theorized, then the neural response of sex addicts to porn should imitate the neural responses of drug or alcohol addicts to their drugs of choice. What is amazing, researchers found that hypersexual brains don’t react in the same way as other addicts’ brains—in fact, the neural responses to pornography only varied based on levels of sexual libido, rather than on measures of sexual compulsivity.

People with higher libidos had more active brain reactions to the sexual images than people with lower libidos, but that was the only correlation. Degrees of sexual compulsivity did not predict brain response at all. If the results of this first study can be replicated, it would represent a major challenge to the notion that sex and pornography can be literally addictive.

So my friends, you can no longer pull the sexaddict card when you get caught or find yourself faced with consequences from bad actions you took ......
