Myxedema

                         While there is no official diagnosis for sex addiction, clinicians and researchers have attempted to define the disorder using criteria based on chemical dependency literature. They include :

☞ Frequently engaging in more sex and with more partners than intended.
☞Being preoccupied with or persistently craving sex; wanting to cut down and unsuccessfully attempting to limit sexual activity.
☞ Thinking of sex to the detriment of other activities or continually engaging in excessive sexual practices despite a desire to stop.
☞ Spending considerable time in activities related to sex, such as cruising for partners or spending hours online visiting pornographic Web sites.
☞ Neglecting obligations such as work, school or family in pursuit of sex.
☞Continually engaging in the sexual behavior despite negative consequences, such as broken relationships or potential health risks.
☞ Escalating scope or frequency of sexual activity to achieve the desired effect, such as more frequent visits to prostitutes or more sex partners.

You may have a sex addiction problem if you identify with three or more of the above criteria.
