Okay, I didn’t find what I had hoped to, but here’s what I have:

Sexual addiction is fueled by anger and loneliness.

Definition of Sexual Addiction:

A. Unmanageable: an addict wants to stop, but can’t. Patterns of out of control sexual behavior have developed over time.

B. Neuro-chemical Tolerance: brain chemistry adjusts to whatever chemicals we put into the brain. These include the chemicals produced when we think about or engage in sex. Over time the brain will need more and more of the same chemical to produce the same feeling. Sex addicts will need to think about or be sexual more and more over time. (combined with the adrenaline from risk-taking behavior, this is supposed to be as addictive as crack cocaine.)

C. Medication. Depending on the nature of the sexual activity or fantasy, sex can be used as a mood elevator or a relaxant. (In other words, addicts use sex to medicate themselves, as an alcoholic would resort to drinking to relax or elevate mood.)

D. Destructive: Sexual sin leads to a variety of spiritual, emotional, physical, legal, social, and vocational consequences.

From “Male Sexual Addiction” by Dr. Mark Laaser.

The roots of sexual addiction are:

A. Abuse:
1. 81% of sex addicts are untreated sexual abuse victims.
2. Adult survivors of childhood abuse – physical, emotional, sexual or spiritual – often medicate their pain through compulsive sexual activity.

B. Abandonment trauma creates a hole in the soul that fuels an addict’s compulsion to fill the loss. Intense sexual activity or relationships get confused with genuine intimacy. (From Female Sexual Addiction, by Marnie C. Ferree, M. A.)
