However, for some people, the need for sex turns into a real problem, and no less than alcoholism or drug addiction. We decided to find out what can cause a manic desire to get sexual satisfaction and what to do about it when this addiction begins to affect relationships with other people.<\/p>\n<h2>What could be the reasons<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Childhood did not develop a sense of security<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many mothers believe that the crying of a baby is an attempt at manipulation, but at such an early age, the child simply cannot perform such complex schemes. His brain is not yet formed for such manipulations. When no one responds to the crying of a child, the child is deprived of the opportunity to properly form his nervous system and receives a signal from the outside world &#8211; there is no need to hope for help, the world is dangerous. A person carries this attitude through his whole life, refusing close relationships, but it is impossible to completely do without contacts, so casual relationships in large numbers become simply a necessity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Relieve stress<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Severe stress always needs to be withdrawn, sex in such a situation becomes one of the ways to overcome tension. If there are a lot of stressful situations in life and the condition turns into a chronic one, a person is desperately looking for a partner in order to shed the negative and get new, more positive emotions. And who will be the partner is not always important.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Violence in childhood \/ youth<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For a young psyche, one shock is enough to launch defense mechanisms that will not only block negativity, but can also become a hindrance in adult life, &#8220;forbidding&quot; a person to have feelings for other people. Sexual violence becomes one of such extremely negative events in life, after which a person often begins to lead a promiscuous sex life, trying to relive this negative moment again and again, since only at this moment at least some feelings that are in a normal state &#8220;come to life&#8221; blocked by the brain.<\/p>\n<h2>Is it possible to solve this problem<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Working with a psychologist<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If trauma has become the cause of sexual addiction, a psychologist is indispensable here. As a rule, the strongest experiences from the past go so deep that it is simply impossible to solve the problem without the involvement of a specialist. The psychologist will gently talk to you about all the &#8220;acute&#8221; moments, and together with him you can come to learn how to build boundaries and understand what you want and what is imposed on you from the outside.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Work on self-esteem<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Very often, with the help of constant sexual contact, a person struggles with low self-esteem. It seems that the number of partners serves as a confirmation of attractiveness. But this is again a deception of our consciousness. If you can't handle it on your own, be sure to seek professional help.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Learn to trust others<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, it is not always easy, but without trust it is simply impossible to build long-term and, most importantly, positive relationships. The partner should help you grow personally, if this does not happen, discord begins both in the relationship itself and in the soul of each of the partners. Start gradually opening up to everything new, but at the same time always be attentive to who is next to you. You will no longer want to look for quick love on the side if there is a person next to you who will always support you.<\/p>\n<div id=\"PostUnique_PostSource\" style=\"padding-top: 50px\">Post source:  <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" href=\"\/\/salon.kr.ua\" class=\"external external_icon\">salon.kr.ua<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We found out where the incredible craving for constant sexual intercourse comes from.
