What Is Sex Addiction?
Sex addiction describes sexual behavior with other people that feels out of control and continues despite serious harm. Clinically it is assessed as compulsive sexual behavior disorder, a condition recognized by the World Health Organization.
Types of Sex Addiction
- Affairs and Serial Infidelity: Repeated affairs or emotional infidelity despite promises to stop.
- Hookups and Dating App Use: Frequent anonymous or casual sexual encounters arranged online.
- Paid Sexual Services: Use of escorts, massage parlors or similar services.
- Mixed Patterns: Interpersonal behavior combined with pornography or online sexual activity.
Interpersonal Acting Out & Recovery
Unlike digital habits that exist primarily on a screen, sexual compulsion often involves high-risk physical encounters that jeopardize marriages and careers. At Atium Health, we specialize in helping individuals confront the interpersonal dimension of sexual acting out: chronic infidelity, anonymous encounters, and the relational devastation that follows.
Available in-person at our Pleasant Grove Clinic or via Utah telehealth.
We approach these challenges as learned behavioral patterns rooted in unresolved trauma, attachment wounds, and dysregulated coping. Recovery is possible through structured, evidence-based clinical support.
Recognizing the Relational Fallout
Interpersonal sexual compulsion creates a distinct pattern of consequences. You may benefit from professional support if you recognize:
- Chronic Infidelity: Repeated affairs, one-night stands, or involvement with multiple partners despite a committed relationship and genuine desire to stop.
- Anonymous Encounters: Seeking out risky sexual encounters with strangers through apps, online platforms, or in-person situations, often escalating in frequency or danger.
- Living a Double Life: Maintaining a carefully constructed public persona while hiding a secret sexual life that consumes increasing amounts of time, money, and emotional energy.
- Career & Legal Risks: Engaging in behaviors that put your professional reputation, employment, or legal standing in jeopardy, and continuing despite close calls or consequences.

The Path to Recovery
Our structured approach addresses the unique challenges of interpersonal sexual compulsion through three critical phases:
Identifying Triggers
We uncover the emotional wounds (trauma, anxiety, and unmet attachment needs) that drive the compulsive cycle. Understanding your triggers is the foundation of lasting change.
Safety Planning
We create immediate, actionable "barriers to entry" and high-accountability plans to interrupt the acting-out cycle and protect your recovery during high-risk moments.
Restoring Relational Trust
For those in committed relationships, we guide couples through the clinician-led Formal Disclosure process, providing a safe, structured environment for transparency, accountability, and rebuilding authentic intimacy.

Diagnosing Sex Addiction
Reading about symptoms can help you put words to what you are experiencing, but only a trained mental health professional can diagnose sex addiction. At Atium Health, your first appointment includes a thorough assessment of your history, symptoms and goals, often supported by validated questionnaires. We repeat those measures over time so you and your clinician can see real progress.
Your provider will also look for anything that may be contributing, such as sleep, medical conditions, medications, substance use or other mental health concerns, so your plan fits the whole picture.
What Causes Sex Addiction?
There is rarely a single cause. Most often sex addiction develops from a mix of life experiences and biology.
Lifestyle and Environmental Factors
- Using sex to cope with stress, shame or loneliness
- Secrecy and living a double life
- Travel or work settings with little accountability
- Relationship distance or conflict
- Alcohol or substance use
Someone may have several or none of these factors and still be affected.
Biological Factors
Sexual behavior strongly activates the brain's reward system, and repeated use under stress can make urges feel automatic. Early trauma, attachment wounds, ADHD, anxiety and depression frequently occur alongside it.
Telehealth Treatment for Sex Addiction
Many people can be assessed and treated for sex addiction through secure video sessions. Research shows telehealth therapy and medication management can be as effective as in person care for many conditions, and it makes it easier to fit treatment into a busy schedule. Atium Health offers telehealth throughout Utah, Arizona, Idaho and Florida.
