Should sex addiction really be categorized as an illness, and if so what title is given ?

Sex Addiction & Habits



Sex addiction was first introduced as an illness around 2003-2004. Compulsive sexual behavior is a very real disorder, with an unbelievable estimated 25 million Americans whom engage in various forms of sex addiction. It seemed incomprehensible to diagnosis a man or a woman as a sex addict based on their sexual habits, however excessive sexual desires or behaviors today can be assessed as an illness.

Humorously enough a spouse goes out and has an affair or perhaps two or three then pleads for help stating he or she is a sex addict is preposterous to say the least but, from a physiological stand point their sexually deprived in fact starving for affection, therefore seeking to fulfill their lustful desires outside of the marriage.

Sexuality in the Black community has not always been talked about; avoidance comes to mind and or having a cavalier approach to real topics of sex and its consequences. Some of us learned sex from our peers or watched TV, everyone is having sex you just don't talk about it till something major comes up like pregnancy!

A black male diagnosis with sex addiction probably never happened; he was just being a guy or man whore the same would apply for our black women. Black sexuality has been driven by a sense of urgency with the AIDS & HIV crisis, sexual addiction in its most illegal forms is on the rise. Many people today namely African-Americans aren't educating themselves totally as a result our people are getting affected at an alarming rate.

With the time, money and energy spent pursuing casual sex to boost one's ego or for that quick fix of lustful gratification is astounding! The CDC ranks Atlanta as 6th in the nation with current HIV infections. The reason for its relevance is Georgia is predominantly African-American, Sexual compulsive behavior in the Black community is taboo, perhaps stereo-typed to the point of normalcy.

To go ever further experts are quoted as saying that the HIV rate in Atlanta is as bad as some African countries! Contrary to myths black sexuality is no different from human sexuality and I find this to be quite silly, were all human beings, there is no wild monkey swinging from the chandelier sex going on just love!

The correlation between a hypersexual brain & that of an addict's brain varied based on neural response to different sexual stimulation such as pornography. With this being said some researcher's seem to believe that porn could be the gateway to sexual addiction & compulsive sexual behavior in the black community because of our ability to mimic what we see!

As Human beings not matter your races educate and protect yourself, and enjoy love to the fullest!
