Sexual desire or sexual addiction?

Sexual desire, or lust for sex, may be greater than desirable. This is called hyper sexuality, sex addiction or satyriasis.
When is sexual desire excessive in a Man?
It is hard to determine when someone has excessive sexual desire. It is often the environment of the person or the person who is limited by it.

Not much is known about the physical causes of this disorder. Possibly hormones and/ or anomalies in the brain play a role. The patient with a manic disorder (mood disorder) may have excessive sexual desires. Certain medicines, such as some medicines against restless legs and Parkinson's disease, may cause excessive sexual desire. Alcohol and some narcotics, such as cocaine and amphetamin, can also have this effect.

If a person feels considerable distress because of his or her sexual desire, this can be a reason to regard the desire as excessive.

This is often treated with medication.

Considerable consequences caused by sexual behaviour;
Not be able to stop despite these considerable consequences;
Persistently pursue self-damaging behaviour or behaviour that carries with it big risks.
A continuous wish or attempt to limit the sexual behaviour;
Sexual obsession and fantasizing are a primary survival strategy;
A need to practice sexual behaviors more and/or more often, because the current level is not enough.
Spend abnormal amounts of time to get or have sex or to recuperate from the sexual experiences.
Neglect of important activities in the field of work, relations, home front and daily pastime because of sex.
Can medication support a sex addiction treatment?
Sometimes medication can support the treatment of a sex addiction, but:

Medication should always be a choice that you make in consultation with your doctor or a therapist.
Try medication for at least a month to find out if it has a chance of success.
Sometimes medication is simply necessary to support recuperation.
Medication brings rest and structure and can be supportive in that sense.
Usually, in the case of psychopharmaca, everybody should find out which medicine works best for him/her; there is not a standard medicine that works for each sex addict. So be prepared for the possibility that you will not have success immediately or have to search some time for the right medicine and dose.
Medication is your choice; it is not a 'must'. Enough sex addicts have been cured without medication.
Examples of medication are:
Prozac/Fontex/Fluoxetin
Fevarin (also antidepressant and anti-anxiety)
Luvox (anti-compulsion)
Depo-Provera (medroxy-progesterone acetate) (adjusts to a normal level of testosterone in your blood and influences the hormone level).

What should a sex addiction treatment comply with?

The treatment of a sex addiction should consist of:
Handling old pain, traumas
Contact with others
Expression of all feelings
Reprogramming of dysfunctional messages from the family of origin.
Deal with shame
Loving, supporting sponsoring
Training new coping strategy

Why do men look at porn ?
According to evolutionary scientists, natural selection has favoured men who want to have sex with as many women as possible. Men with such a genetic code have bigger chances to spread their genes. On the other hand, a man knows that his own wife would be furious and heartbroken if he cheated on her. Some married men argue that they have too little sex or have it too seldom. Those men can calm down their genes by looking at pornography, thus avoiding the risks of infidelity.

Wanting to view porn can for some men be an addiction, similar to drug or alcohol addiction, and as difficult to get rid of.

However, men's interests in pornographic material often hurt women's feelings. Some women feel that they are not good enough and that their men dirty their love with repulsive pictures. It is difficult to find a solution for such a problem. A man who cannot manage to give up his porno watching must be very discrete in his hobby so that his wife will not discover it. But it is difficult to hide things from a woman in her own apartment. Do you want to keep your man even if he doesn't want to quit his hobby? Is it possible for you to accept it and let him look at porn?

It may be that your husband wants to live a bachelor life, even though you got married. Perhaps he thought that he could quit but he was not able to do it. Only you have the power to decide what to do. Your choices are the following:

you convince your husband to quit.
you tolerate him as he is.
you leave him.
Men, who both cheat on their wives and watch pornographic material, usually say that it is their wives they love, the other ones are just sexual objects. Women find it very difficult to accept. Are you sure that your husband is not talking on a cell phone when you think that he talks to himself? Would you have married him if you had known how sex-interested he is?
