S3xual addiction and compulsive s3xual thoughts and behavior lead to increasingly serious consequences, both in the mind of the addict and in his or her life.
These consequences can include profound depression (sometimes with suicidal thoughts), chronic low self-esteem, shame, self-hatred, hopelessness, despair, helplessness, intense anxiety, loneliness, moral conflict, contradictions between ethical values and behaviors, fear of abandonment, spiritual bankruptcy, distorted thinking, remorse, and self-deceit.
Sometimes s3x addicts will engage in multiple behaviors with the risk of addiction; for example, combining drinking and drug use or gambling with their sexual behaviors to help ease the pain of their emotional struggles.
