Sexual addiction

Sexual addiction, also known as sex addiction, is a conceptual model that describes compulsive participation or engagement in sexual activity, despite negative consequences. It is considered by its proponents to be the same thing as hypersexual disorder. In clinical diagnostics, the term sexual dependence may also refer to a conceptual model that is used to assess people who report being unable to control their sexual urges, behaviors, or thoughts. Related models of pathological sexual behavior include hypersexuality, erotomania, nymphomania, satyriasis, Don Juanism (or Don Juanitaism), and paraphilia-related disorders.

Clinicians, such as psychiatrists, sociologists, sexologists, and other specialists, have differing opinions on the classification and clinical diagnosis of sexual addiction. As a result, "sexual addiction" does not exist as a clinical entity in either the DSM or ICD medical classifications of diseases and medical disorders.

Neuroscientists, pharmacologists, molecular biologists, and other researchers in related fields have identified a transcriptional and epigenetic model of drug and behavioral (including sexual) addiction pathophysiology. Diagnostic models, which use the pharmacological model of addiction (this model associates addiction with drug-related concepts, particularly physical dependence, drug withdrawal, and drug tolerance), do not currently include diagnostic criteria to identify sexual addictions in a clinical setting. In the alternative reward-reinforcement model of addiction, which uses neuropsychological concepts to characterize addictions, sexual addictions are identifiable and well-characterized. In this model, addictive drugs are characterized as those which are both reinforcing and rewarding (i.e., activates neural pathways associated with reward perception). Addictive behaviors (those which can induce a compulsive state) are similarly identified and characterized by their rewarding and reinforcing properties.

Sex Addiction

by: Kayle

When you are closed to me,
I can't breathe normally
I am not what I used to be,
When you are closed to me
And I move in the dark,
I choose the wrong way like the past
I am not what I used to be,
When you are closed to me
You are like an injection
You are my drug, my afection
I still want an interdiction and I come over you
And I know it's insane, I am the Orly one to blame
You are like morohine in my veines
It doesn't change, it still the same
SEX ADICTION
Can't stop to think about you
SEX ADICTION
You are my drug, I think of you
SEX ADICTION
Can't stop to think about you
SEX ADICTION
You are my drug, I think of you
SEX ADICTION
When you are closed to me
I can't breathe normally
I am not what I used to be
When you are closed to me
And you are like an injection
You are my drug, my afection
I still wait for an interdiction and I come over you
SEX ADICTION
Can't stop to think about you
SEX ADICTION
You are my drug, I think of you
SEX ADICTION
Can't stop to think about you
SEX ADICTION
You are my drug
