Is Sexting Healthy Or Is It A Compulsion? Sex Addiction Therapist

I have experience with working with this addiction as well as with a range of other additions and we can develop a unique plan that fits your particular situation. The best thing a good parent can do is use FamiSafe in blocking such sexting apps on their mobile phones. This brings control to parents in preventing the use of some apps that promotes the transfer of explicit content. You can also use the app to help your kid gain self-control, especially if they are addicted to sexting. A teenager who is addicted to sexting is setting a pace for a series of emotional imbalances.

  • However, in addition to these results, the motivation to strengthen body image is predicted by both positive expectations about sending and negative expectations of receiving sexts, an unexpected outcome.
  • Over 60% of our clients are individuals who normally wouldn’t go to a strip club or rent an adult video but suffer from problems related to online sex addiction.
  • As sex addiction experts in the Dallas area, we deal with this issue frequently and everyone wants to know the answer.
  • People who have positive expectations about sexting believe that sexting makes them more tender, intimate, more likely to have sex and also more attractive to others [14], and to feel more aroused, related to and loved [36].
  • But for a certain percentage of sexters, the behavior can be indicative of a problem such as love or sex addiction.
  • If you look at their smart devices, you may stumble across suggestive texts, videos, or pictures.

In order to determine for certain whether sex addiction does play a role in Weiner’s behavior, he’d need to be fully evaluated by a mental health professional. Today, she has moved out to a hotel, all alone in a foreign country with no one to really console her as she is too embarrassed to confide these things to her family members. She has lost all trust in me and I have ruined her life and possibly scarred her fragile heart permanently.

The Link Between Trauma, Shame, Sexual Shame and Sexual Addiction

In Drouin’s research, respondents have said they engage in sexting because it’s “fun” or “flirtatious.” But there are also neurochemical factors to why crafting a spicy text. As Drouin points out, there haven’t been any studies done on which parts of your brain light up from sexting. But based on her professional experience, she says your brain would likely act the same as when you’re watching or reading porn. “When you view other nude photographs or view erotica, probably similar areas of the brain are lighting up,” Drouin says. But ultimately sexting “addiction,” like most sex tech panics, is something of an overblown idea. “Our society is overly prone towards both technophobia and fear and condemnation of sex,” said David Ley, author of The Myth of Sex Addiction.

  • Yet another sign of addiction would be sexting with another person behind your partner’s back or sexting with multiple partners just to get a “fix,” without knowing who they are or having any intent to form personal relationships.
  • A teen who always sex-texts with other teenagers could be ruining their reputation.
  • Sexting can also lead to dating and relationship problems as it clouds your thinking in finding and choosing the best partner for you.
  • These include cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, group therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy, all of which will assist in overcoming sexting.

Understanding why you personally engage in the behavior will help you create a strategy for recovery. The first thing to do when quitting any addiction, is to identify what that addiction provides or its perceived value to you. Understanding the perceived benefit of any addiction is actually the secret to recovery.

So how can you tell if sexting is becoming an addiction for you or someone you care about? As with all addictions, sexting becomes problematic if it interferes with your daily activities and hurts your personal or professional life. Sexual addiction is related to obsessive and compulsive thoughts and actions, and the inability to control behavior, even when the addiction is destroying finances, self-esteem, a career, and even family relationships.

If you don’t always have your phone in your hand, there will be less opportunity to engage in sexting. Indeed, set a challenge for yourself and work towards achieving it. You can, for instance, decide not to be on your phone after dinner. Make it clear to family and friends that that may not be the best time to reach you. Also, remember that the root cause of sexting may very well lie in sexual addiction. It becomes a compulsion, and the brain always has obsessive thoughts about doing it.

One partner may have knowledge of the other’s sexting behavior and accept it, trusting that an in-person sexual encounter is not the goal. For others, sexting may be a confidence-shattering betrayal. One partner perceives sexting as a violation of intimacy or emotional infidelity, but regardless, the other engages in the behavior. According to a Pew Research Center poll, 6 percent of American adults have sent a sexually explicit (nude or near-nude) photo to someone and 15 percent have received one. Other researchers believe the behavior is even more widespread, estimating that more than half of adults are sexting. If you or someone you know is struggling with sexting , it may be time to get addiction therapy to confront issues around sexting behavior.
