  Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous Encyclopedia Article @ Overcame.org   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
SLAA was started in more specific message, in by members of pornography who discovered that they had problems with sex and love that they could not freely discuss in AA meetings, so a new 12-Step program of recovery was born.
S.L.A.A. believes that in many cases sexual acting-out is tightly bound to this dependent pseudo-love; and that love addicts are often attracted to sex addicts with mutually destructive results.
SLAA is therefore often and openly used by sex and/or love addicts for recovery from these issues too.

 [No title]
Sex addicts are characterized by a preoccupation with sex, the strong desire for sex, and particularly, a sense of shame due to an inability to control their sexual impulses.
Sex addicts cannot identify a time when their compulsion began but there seems to be an agreement that it occurs as a coping response to anxiety.
Although sex and love addicts may experience anxiety, loneliness and despair and the road of recovery may seem long and bumpy, they can become healthier in their relationships and lead fuller, more satisfying lives.

 Are You A Sex Addict?
Sex and love addiction has been defined as an addictive pattern of establishing love relationships with specific people, where the person and the relationship, as well as sex with the person, are all part of the appeal to the addict.
Sex and love addicts may have several love relationships with different people going on at the same time or they may pass serially from one to the next, leaving each when the initial ``love high'' wears off.
Sex addiction, by contrast, is usually a preoccupation with sexual arousal and sexual release, which often has little to do with who the person is and requires no relationship.

Yet a primary complaint of many sexual addicts in treatment is that previous clinical interventions either didn't identify their problem at all or didn't provide clear intervention, direction and resources to aid them in addressing their sexual acting-out behaviors.
Like alcoholics, drug addicts and compulsive gamblers, sexual addicts employ typical defenses such as denial, rationalization and justification in order to be able to continue to engage in their behaviors, while blaming others for the resulting problems.
Sexual addicts in group work are offered the safe, facilitated space to be able to confront their denial and rationalizations while more realistically redefining shameful self states.
