HOW PEOPLE GET ADDICTED TO SEX

People don’t just start out and become sexual addicts in a day.  Addiction is a product of prolonged use.  There are so many ways through which  guys and gals get into sexual addiction.  I will be discussing a few of them in this post. Enjoy your reading.

1.      Sexual Abuse.    Abuse as we earlier defined is   abnormal use.    Sexual abuse is probably to most profound reason why people get addicted to sex.  It is usually in 2 broad forms ; addiction through interaction and addiction through orientation.

a.                  Abuse through interaction is usually a fall out of boys/girls that were touched and exposed to sexual pleasures very early in life. Oftentimes by older adults who take undue advantage of their naivety.   Sexually abused people tend to develop a condition called sexual anorexia ( a desire not to have sex ). They often resort to masturbating or use of sex toys to derive sexual pleasure.

Conversely, others get addicted to sex as a result of sexual abuse as young children.  I know of a particular 12 year old girl that got sexually abused at age 3 by three men.  It actually opened her up and she became sexually promiscuous.  It got so bad that as  young as age seven, she had literarily started luring not just other children but older men to come and have sex with her. Her sexual appetite was awakened too early and she found it too hot to handle. It also affected her psychologically.

b.        Abuse through orientation is as a result of what people watch, read and the music they listen to.  It is also known as mind abuse.   The irony of it all is that this form of abuse could be a fallout of genuine teenage curiosity to peep into the adult world.  Let me tell you my own story.  I grew up to discover very early in life that I had a penchant for reading.  Due to lack of guidance, I pick up any book, magazine or journal I could lay my hands on and devour the contents.  In the course of my exploration, I stumbled on some pornographic materials as a very young teen (13).   It tickled my fancy and I wanted to know more, so I began to fill my mind with all sorts of erotic stuff .   That was how I began to paint mental pictures of the materials I read because I’m also a very imaginative person.   Eventually when I felt it was not good for me, the pictures had become stuck in my memory and it is played back unconsciously and randomly.  It led to a journey of years of eventual addiction to masturbation.   It took the grace of God to eventually deliver me from this monster.    That is one of the reasons why I made up my mind to let young adults know that they need to guide what they feed their minds with. You have to choose what to read in order to preserve your future.  The trait of being an avid reader is very good but the devil can pervert it, if you don’t know how to control what you read.

So long for today, I expect your comments and have a nice weekend as you ponder on this post.  The world is waiting for your manifestation, don’t destroy it with a careless today.
