What Is Sex Addiction & Sex Addiction Therapy?
Steve Wham specializes in sex addiction therapy. He is the only male certified sex addiction therapist (CSAT) in Evansville, Indiana, the Tri-state area. He collaborates with a female CSAT therapist to work with couples to help restore relationships.
Sexual addiction, also known as “sexual compulsion,” “hypersexuality,” and “hypersexual disorder,” is a dysfunctional preoccupation with sex, often involving the obsessive pursuit of non-intimate sexual encounters (affairs, casual sex, anonymous sex, prostitutes, pornography, compulsive masturbation, and the like).
This pattern of urges, fantasies, and behaviors continues for a period of at least six months, despite the following:
- Attempts made to self-correct the problematic sexual behavior.
- Promises made to self and others to change the sexual behavior.
- Significant negative life consequences such as relationship instability, emotional turmoil (shame, guilt, isolation, etc.), physical health problems, and career trouble.
In simpler terms, sexual addiction is an ongoing, out-of-control pattern of compulsive sexual fantasy and behavior that is causing problems in the addict’s life.
