Am I addicted to sex?

I want to know if it is possible for someone to be addicted to sex. I can’t seem to be able to do without sex on a daily basis. If I don’t have sex in a day I will start feeling restless. Kindly let me know what to do to cure this problem. I am a 25 -year old unmarried business man.

Although some degree of controversy surrounds the diagnosis of “sex addiction”, it’s still written about and studied in psychology and counseling circles. “Sex addiction” is described as a compulsive need to perform sexual acts in order to achieve the kind of “fix” that a person with alcohol or drug disorder gets from a drink or drug. Sex addiction (the compulsive sexual behavior described here) should not be confused with disorders such as paedophilia or bestiality. For some people, sex addiction can be highly dangerous and result in considerable difficulties with relationships. Some teaching hospitals have in-patient treatment centres that offer sex addiction recovery programmes. Often, people with a sex addiction are removed from their normal daily lives for at least 30 days to help them regain control of their impulses and start healing. These types of programmes typically include in-depth individual and group therapy sessions.
