Out of Control - When Hypersexuality Becomes Too Much to Handle

Introduction

According to a 2016 study, 10.3% of Indian men aged between 18–50 reported difficulty in controlling their sexual feelings, urges, and behaviours and experienced hypersexuality. At the same time, Around 70 per cent of Indian women might not have experienced an orgasm or just don't know what an orgasm is all about. In the most populated country in the world, if the conversation on sexual satisfaction is a huge taboo, a blog on Hypersexuality is definitely going to raise a few brows. But then, someone has to say it, right?

Compulsive Sexual Behaviour Disorder (CSBD), as defined by the ICD 11, involves intense, uncontrollable sexual urges that lead to a lot of distress and functional impairment. People suffering from CSBD often go through emotional turmoil and disrupted daily life, while their relationships may crumble due to a lack of trust and intimacy. The reality is far from the pornographic movie-induced imagination.

Aiming to explore the symptoms of sex addiction and the nature of CSBD, this blog seeks to outline its effects on individuals and relationships and showcase effective treatment options and therapy for sex addiction to help in managing and overcoming this disorder.
