Sex And Porn Addiction

Sex and Porn Addiction

Sexual addiction comes in many forms including things like pornography use, compulsive masturbation, and virtual sex services. Some might become involved in illegal activities like solicitation of prostitution, obscene phone calls, or violating the sexual boundaries and rights of others. Whatever struggles you face, no matter how minor or severe, help is available to you through Christian counseling for sexual addiction.

Partners and Spouses of Sex Addicts

If you are in a relationship with someone who struggles with sexual addiction, you probably have a lot of intense, sometimes overwhelming emotions. Feelings like depression, anger, insecurity and confusion are common, and can make trusting your partner difficult or impossible. Our Christian counselors will help you recover from the pain sex addiction has caused your life and your relationship.

Couples Recovery

Often times, full sexual addiction recovery includes intensive couples counseling. Finding hope and healing for your relationship is possible through Christ and we are here to support you through the process. With dedication to one another and to Christ, you can recover from the effects of sexual addiction and even come out of counseling stronger and more connected than ever.

Sexual Addiction Recovery Groups

Group counseling is very useful for sexual addiction recovery. Finding support from like-minded people who understand what you’re going through can enhance your treatment and likelihood of success. Through shared goals, accountability, and encouragement, you can find greater tools for hope and healing.

Affairs and Infidelity

Sexual addiction often leads to betrayal within relationships. If sexual addiction has resulted in infidelity, we can help you work through this difficult and confusing time while providing you with tools for guidance, hope, and healing from sexual addiction and the damage it caused your relationship.

Adolescent Sexual Addiction Recovery

The temptation and struggle with sexual thoughts and behaviors can be especially challenging during teen years. We help Christian teens find support for handling these sensitive issues. In a time when pornographic material thrives, and young people are becoming sexually active at increasingly earlier ages, there is a strong need for support teens who want to stick to their faith-based values. We can provide your teen with a safe place for talking about these things while offering strength and guidance for living a sober, Christ-filled life.

Love Addiction

If you look for affection, self-esteem, and identity through sexual encounters like one-night stands and infidelity, then you might struggle with love addiction. Love addiction is a real and treatable condition, and Christian counseling for sexual addiction can help.

What is sexual addiction? Is sex addiction real? Despite the controversy, sexual addiction is a real, treatable condition – and it is on the rise among men, women, and teens. In fact, over 30 million suffer from sexual addiction in the U.S. alone.

Am I a sex addict? Many wonder if their sexual behaviors are normal, or a sign of a real problem. If you answer yes to some of these questions below, Christian counseling for sexual addiction recovery might benefit you:

• Are you preoccupied with sex?
• Does your partner express concern about your sexual behavior?
• Do you feel your sexual behavior is abnormal?
• Do you hide aspects of your sexual behavior from your partner?
• Do you frequently watch pornography or purchase sexually explicit materials?
• Do you use sexual behavior to change your mood?
• Do you often feel bad about your sexual behavior?
• Has your sexual behavior interfered with intimacy in your relationship?
• Have you been unable to stop your inappropriate sexual behavior?

As Christians, we strive to please God in all things. So even though you might not feel “addicted” to sex, any sexual acts that are against the teaching of Christ are a form of sin and bondage.

Jesus replied, Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. – John 8:34.

We don’t take sexual addiction lightly, but we believe in the power of Jesus Christ for freedom from this heavy bondage. We also have faith in His patience, and because of this we do our best to create a safe, compassionate environment for those who are bound by sexual addiction.

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. – 2 Peter 3:9

At Seattle Christian Counseling, we provide a non-judgmental space for all who are afflicted with sexual addiction. If this speaks to you, you might carry heavy feelings of shame, fear of being exposed, and feel out of control. Sin has a strong hold and is not easily broken at times. We know that if it were in your power, you would not give into habitual sin. In Christ, we can find freedom, and we are here to help you discover that healing for your life.

I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. – John 8:12

If you’re tired of letting sexual addiction rule your life, we are here to help set you free. We want to see you find healing from the wounds your addiction has caused you and others, including the often deeply rooted emotional pain that led to your addiction in the first place.
