I have called myself a sex addict. Now, I understand that sex became unhealthy. I was raised in a home where sex was not talked about, and education was never given freely. I searched for what sex meant, but came up with the view of sex as a means to release other emotions besides love. Then someone kissed me, and it lead to rape, and I became hooked. Sex became a way out.

I have a therapist and we did talk about some aspects, but when it became virtual talk about addiction slowed. When I started to see as I sat and did little, I felt worse and when I started to do more and make goals, things have started to change.

The name of a mental health concern gives different ideas to the person and anyone around them. Those ideas can be good or bad, but the treatment is starting healthy behaviors to create health. And joy and peace. Then love can come in, allowing sex to be enjoyable.
