Sex Addiction
The term “sex addiction” is used to describe any sexual activity that feels ‘out of control’. Being sexually addicted is the feeling that you are engaging in a sexual activity that you are no longer in charge of. Sexual addiction is not defined by the activity itself, however, it is defined by the frequency of the activity.
Sex addiction has risen sharply over the last decade, with recent research suggesting that this is largely due to the large number of explicit pornographic sites which are easily accessible on the internet.
The psychosexual therapists
Nightingale psychosexual counsellors are highly qualified and experienced sex therapists working with many sexual problems and sexual issues. The therapists will have trained for at least two years with Relate or Relationship Scotland. Our psychosexual therapists will immediately put you at your ease and they will never judge you or your behaviour. The motivation of the sex therapist is to help you overcome sexual issues affecting your life and relationships.
Working with sexual issues and problems including sex addiction is very specialised work and should only be undertaken by experienced psychosexual counsellors, who are qualified to Diploma Level and beyond.
