I’m not sure it really matters what label we attach to the sexual behaviors that can undermine our lives. The bottom and more essential line is whether, or not the behavior in question can be stopped before the consequences become too severe.
Usually, when people turn to me for help, it’s because they’ve tried repeatedly to stop some sexual behavior without success. Along with this effort they may have also made promises to loved-ones that they didn’t keep. This doesn’t mean that they didn’t try to keep their word, but that they couldn’t resist the compulsion to relapse.
As I see it, my job is to help build a good plan for achieving their personal goals regarding these sexual-compulsive behaviors and to empower them to keep their promises. My interest is in their long-term and self-defined success, no matter what we call the problem.
