Sex addiction in men vs. women
There can be some differences with somebody being sexually addicted depending on their gender, whether they’re male or a female. With men we tend to see a lot more stimulation with looking,; porn, strip clubs and so forth. Or very non-intimate experiences: prostitution, short-term affairs and anonymous encounters.
Women who have compulsive behavior sexually and romantically, in general, tend to be more relational in their acting out. When we say acting out we mean being sexual outside of set of boundaries that are explicit or implied in contract with another person, or violating their own values. They tend to play out the compulsion within a context of multiple relationships.
However, when you see women who come into treatment for sexual addiction, because there’s so much shame associated with the concept or the label of sex addict with a woman versus a man, she oftentimes does not seek help until it’s really bad. So oftentimes when women come into treatment their problems and their consequences are as severe if not worse than in a men.

Testimonials
I should have done this two years ago. Very helpful with abstinence and recovery. I feel real progress.
My desperation has gone away.
My overall impression of the Beginnings Care Program in regards to codependency and addiction is both informative and supportive! Giving me the opportunity to learn, grow and heal rather than continue with all the negative coping. It has also benefited my recovery by helping me to ‘detach’ and be healthier while doing so.
This program is ground -breaking and keeps you centered in recovery. It has allowed me to remain in my marriage and conitnue my recovery.
Incredible! I am learning to listen to my body. Each week I learn something new about myself through the homework. Much greater awareness. I have choices. Learning not to be so reactionary. I feel freer.
