Sex addiction is sadly as common as the flu season.
It can happen in both men and women and is caused by things like abuse, neglect or trauma from your partner’s child hood. We’ve got a bunch of signs to look out for in case you suspect your partner may be a sex addict.
1. They watch porn all the time
Fam, there is really a time for everything. A time to go to work and a time to sleep. A time to eat dinner and a time to eat lunch. If your partner is glued to their screen whether phone or laptop watching porn at all times of the day and night? Issa problem.
2. Compulsive masturbation
We are big supporters of beating your own meat (hehe!) or ringing your own front doorbell, but we advise that you take it like medicine. Once in a while is ok, but touching yourself at the supermarket, at the office, in the parking lot or in traffic is…erm overkill. You may have a sex addiction fam.

3. Exhibitionism
Guys, have you ever had a partner that wants to do the nasty in public. We are talking butt naked on a balcony here. We are talking sex at a public beach. We are talking sex in the Uber with the driver watching. Apart from making the rest of us want to watch our eyes out with beach (Damn, why must you do us like this?), it may be a sign of a more serious sexual issue.
4. Obsessive dating
If you are girlfriend or boyfriend number 7…in a month. Issa problem! How? Explain with diagrams. Unless this man or woman has a twin, how is he/ she able to be with this impossible number of people sexually within such a short period of time. I mean, we want what their drinking fam because we are exhausted just thinking about it. If this is you, we need you to take a time out. IKO SHIDA.
Ladies and Gents, people with sex addictions are not necessarily bad people. They need to speak to a professional so encourage them to do so. If you CANNOT support someone with a sex addiction then amicably end the relationship. Be kind.
