Having a healthy sex life is an important and fulfilling part of a relationship, and can often mean you have a more emotional connection with your partner. But if you’ve noticed them engaging in certain behaviours such as an intense preoccupation with pornography, or their sexual desires have become the main focus of their life, it could be a sign that they are suffering from Compulsive Sexual Behaviour Disorder (CSBD).
We’ve asked the team of addiction specialists at Private Rehab Clinic Delamere, to share what exactly CSBD is, the signs and symptoms to look for in a partner, and how you can find ways to cope with dating someone with a sexual behaviour disorder.
Compulsive Sexual Behaviour Disorder, which is sometimes known as hypersexuality disorder or sex addiction, refers to extreme preoccupation with sexual fantasies or urges that overpower everything in a person's life, despite how dangerous they may be.
