When the search for love and sex becomes an obsession
In sex or love addiction, sex and love become a compulsion that significantly affects the lives of those affected and is difficult to control. Psychological issues such as low self-esteem or traumatic experiences often trigger the development of sex and love addiction.
Falling deeply in love or engaging in sexual activity can produce a mood-lifting effect. In love addiction, for example, the experience of being in love becomes pathological, so that all other areas of life, such as friendships or work, are neglected or abandoned. The affected person often demands complete devotion from their partner and quickly becomes jealous if their expectations are not met, leading to frequent conflicts in the relationship.
