Is it possible to be addicted to love and sex? A psychologist weighs in:
If you struggle with intimate relationships, you might relate to a reader who recently asked me to address love addiction. This person reported a pattern of bouncing , between intimate partners. Is this love addiction or some other issue?explains that those with a sex or love addiction cope with struggles of loneliness, fears of abandonment, shame, and other emotions by sexualizing their relationships.
I hesitate calling the relationship struggles of highly anxiously attached people an addiction because the evidence is unclear as to whether they are experiencing a true addiction. It’s true that their love relationships may consume their lives and that they may use them to modify their mood. However, one critical aspect of addiction is that there is an increasing need for the substance or activity over time to get the same effect.
If you struggle with these issues, it can often help to work simultaneously on nurturing a positive relationship with yourself and with others. Start by observing the ways in which you experience yourself as unworthy or unlovable. Also observe how others either respond to you in emotionally supportive or rejecting ways.
