'''Sexual addiction''' consists of an unhealthy [[addiction ]] to sexual activity and/or [[pornography]]. See ''[[Escape From Intimacy]]''.
== Homosexual Sex Addiction ==
As with an alcohol or drug addiction, the satisfaction of sex addiction, whether within or without a homosexual liaison, or by means of masturbation, is purely ego-centered. It is not a sharing of love, but in essence an impersonal event, like contact with a prostitute. Homosexuals do not so much seek the other ''person'' as human being in their sexual encounters but rather the materialization of their wish fantasies. The real other person is not perceived as he is, and to the degree that he is experienced more realistically, the neurotic attraction correspondingly fades away. Ego-centered lust fills no void, only deepens it.
Sex addicts, among them homosexuals, may have a tendency to lie about their behavior, to others and to themselves.<ref name="Aardweg1997"/> It is not unusual that they mock the fidelity<ref>{{cite web |title=Modern Romance: Love, Marriage & Monogamy |author=Dan Savage & Esther Perel |publisher=Talks at Google |url=https://youtu.be/s7E9ASb3LfE?t=365

== Side Effects ==
Sex addiction, like any other addiction, comes with its problems.
The most common ones are:
#Drowsiness
#*In extension of the above, forgetfulness and slow-wittedness
#Rapid heartbeat
#[[Depression|Feeling down]]
#Sore wrists and forearm muscles
#Peyronie's disease
#Increased body heat (It gets dangerous in hot climates or coupled with alcohol)
#Eternal hell
And, in more extreme cases, the following can happen which can result in a coma, or worse, death:
#Brain hemorrhage
#Heart attack
#Phthisis
Fun fact: With the consideration that all of the symptoms above are real, "sex positivity" activists will insist that masturbation and sex addiction, in general, are safe and often resort to citing ''popular science'', notwithstanding the fact that science was wrong before (For example, scientists once said cigarettes were safe for consumption).<ref>[https://www.history.com/news/cigarette-ads-doctors-smoking-endorsement History.com on Tobacco companies recruiting doctors]</ref><ref>[https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm4843a2.htm CDC on smoking and cancer]</ref><ref>[https://www.pophistorydig.com/topics/tag/cigarettes-1930s/]</ref> Some of the more unhinged nutcases claim that you must masturbate often enough to avoid getting cancer, despite the risks of getting the cancer being non-existent, contrary to the risks of dying from a heart attack due to sex addiction.
