The two behavioral addictions that most resemble one another, and often go hand-in-hand, are sex addiction and eating disorders. Both of these problems are difficult to change because the human race can’t survive without sex or food. However, if you are addicted to sex you can certainly live without it (at least for a while) but if you’re addicted to food, you definitely can’t live without it.
Recovery from these addictions requires clear boundary plans that are monitored by others in the person’s recovery community such as a sponsor, therapist, etc.
In his article entitled “Sex Addiction Common Alongside Eating Disorders,” author Matthew Teimeyer examines the parallel between these two behavioral addictions. To read the article, click on

At the Center for Healthy Sex, women often ask if male circumcision can lead to sexual compulsivity. The thinking is that an uncircumcised penis is more sensitive while the circumcised one is less sensitive, therefore needing more stimulation in order to experience pleasure. As far as I know, there is no scientific data to bare this out and therefore, this is only speculation.
Many factors can contribute to sexually compulsive behaviors. If a person is masturbating compulsively, it may be that he/she has an obsessive compulsive disorder that manifested in this way due to some form of early childhood experience that was traumatizing.
Each person who suffers from sexually compulsivity has a unique story, which is often based in pain as a result of suffering emotional, physical or sexual abuse in their childhood.
