Introduction
Compulsive sexual behavior is defined as an obsession of sexual thoughts, sexual feelings and sexual behaviors. While thoughts of sex are normal, they cross the line into becoming a disorder when they affect your daily life. When one suffers from compulsive sexual behavior, their work, health, relationships and every other aspect of life is threatened. It can begin with normal sexual experiences and build into a compulsion. Once it hits the stage of compulsion it begins to get out of control and must be treated in order to bring normalcy back into daily life.
