ABSTRACT
Sexual addiction is sexual behavior that is, in some way, out of control. Treating sex addiction in couples requires counselors to address complex issues for the individual struggling with the addiction and the couple. Although sex addiction can have negative effects, it is possible to recover and have healthy, successful, and fulfilling relationships. This chapter will provide an overview of sexual addiction and pornography, explore how it can impact couples, and provide a case example. Assessment and treatment recommendations are discussed.
