| The Intoxication Of Young Love Theory ( Sex Addicts ) |
The most euphoric thing on mother earth for most human beings is the opening rounds of a new & more exciting romantic relationship. The professionals call this the intoxication of young love which affects the arousal template later on in life. Think back to the first time you held hands with your very first boyfriend or girlfriend & how that felt. That feeling ( emotional high/intoxication ) is what the female or male sex, love or romance addict is after or attempting to re-create by repeatedly indulging in their bottom line sex, love or romance bottom line acting out behaviors.
If their very first encounter with romantic sex or love came in the form of sexual abuse, molestation, rape or incest through no fault of their own the end result is usually repeated unconscious reenactment episodes or in some cases sexual anorexia which acts in instead of out which is now being called avoidance addiction.
except their own brains & bodies produce the powerful chemicals that get them high or mood alter them. No one knows for sure why some people ( both men & women ) are born with the body chemistry that makes this possible. Dr. Patrick Carnes believes the process was started before they were born ( they seem to be born that way ) ( AA Big Book ). In reality, what they are really doing is losing much of their lives to a very powerful & life damaging addiction. |
