Teen Sex Addiction

Seattle Christian Counseling

Sex Addiction in Adolescents

If you have a pre-teen or teenage child, and you don’t know what sexting is, you might have a big problem. Sexting is defined as sexually suggestive texts or photos sent by cell phone and is a real epidemic and challenge for adolescents today. According to a 2014 study by the journal, Pediatrics, teenage students who participate in sexting are six times more likely to become sexually active younger. Things like sexting and Internet pornography are leading to a significant rise in sexually transmitted diseases, teen pregnancies, and sexual addiction in teens.

Is My Teen a Sex Addict?

Adolescence is a time for self-discovery and growth. Many teens search for independence and begin experimenting with adult behaviors. Where is the line drawn between normal teen experience and behaviors that are damaging or an indicator of sex addiction? As a parent, you have to decide what is morally acceptable and set proper boundaries. We are not here to parent your teen, but rather to help you encourage sexual health as to what you feel is best. Even so, if your teen shows any of the following warning signs, he or she might be struggling with sexual addiction.

Common signs of sexual addiction include:

  • Compulsive behavior that your teen feels unable to stop despite negative consequences such as health risks, sexually transmitted disease, pregnancy, poor academic performance, and harmed relationships.
  • Obsession with thoughts and behaviors that are sexual in nature, often placing these things ahead of other things in life.
  • Anger or irritability with discussions surrounding healthy sexual behaviors and precautions for things like sexting, talking with people online, pornography, or sexually active relationships.

 

Christian Counseling Can Help Your Teen Overcome Sexual Addiction

Talking with your teen about sex can be hard, but it is very important. Many times sex addiction is fueled by fear or shame and a need to hide or avoid talking about sex and sexual urges. Maybe you’ve tried talking to your teen, but they just don’t seem to hear you. If you’re unsure of how to start the conversation about sex with your teen or if you’re hitting a brick wall, we can help you bridge the communication gap using teen-focused advice for making healthy choices and forming quality relationships.

If Your Teen Needs Help for Sexual Addiction, Contact Us Today.

At Seattle Christian Counseling, we will help you and your teen find healing while building Christ-centered habits and growth. To learn more or schedule an appointment, contact us online or give us a call at (206) 388-3929.
