Signs of intimacy anorexia include:

  • Being too busy

  • Blaming partner or spouse for relationship problems

  • Withholding love

  • Withhold their praise

  • Withholding sex

  • Withhold feelings

  • Being constantly critical

  • Controlling money

  • Withhold or control with silence

  • Living like roomates

What is sex addiction?

Sex addiction is being so drawn into sexual activities that it interferes with daily activities...It may be used as a coping mechanism or distraction

Examples of sex addiction, may include any or all of the following:

  • extensive use of pornography

  • compulsive masturbation

For others it may increase to:

  • illegal activity 

  • exhibitionism

  • voyeurism

  • obscene phone calls

  • child molestation or rape

What is porn addiction?

When the usage of porn interferes with daily life. When you spend so much time looking on the internet at pornography that you can't get into work...sex becomes non-relational.

  • You're unable to stop watching

  • Loss of large periods of time

  • Incessant craving for more

  • Loss of interest in relationship sex

  • Unrealistic demands during sex
