True sex addiction is more than just having a high sex drive.

The consequences of sex addiction can be severe, much like any other addiction (gambling or drug addiction).

Sex addiction may come in many forms. It may be limited to pornography and fantasy or may involve prostitution and/or sexually deviant behaviors.
Of course, sexually not everyone is the same.

What some regard as deviant, others may not. However, those with sex addiction feel their lives are out of control or have begun to suffer negative consequences as a result of sex addiction.

Such negative consequences may include loss of marriage, friends, health problems, or financial difficulties.
