It would be rare to find a sex addict who would volunteer the information about his or her state. Chances are, that person would be in denial that he or she is indeed having an addiction. More often than not, having the sex addict admit to his or her addiction is the first step towards that person’s healing, because only the acceptance that a treatment and an intervention is necessary would force him or her to address his or her problem.

Sexual addiction, according to the medical community does not exist. It does not exist in a sense that it has no clear definition and that medical practitioners are not in complete agreement with one another on its symptoms and diagnostic criteria.

Common sense dictates that a person cannot be addicted to something if they have not tried or experienced it so i guess it is safe to say that, anyone and everyone who has tried or had an enjoyable sexual experience can be addicted to it.

The addiction is not in the act itself but on the chemicals, such as dopamine, that is released in our brain during the act.
