The Sex, Porn & Love Addiction Podcast

Defining the difference between Sex addiction & Love addiction:

Love addiction is all about trying to getting attention and a sense of feeling wanted, even if the attention is being paid for – since any attention is better than no attention. It has its roots in childhood development causing Insecure Attachment; a sense of rejection and loss – due to a disruption in the early years bonding with key parental figures.

So, there is a searching out, using such activities as dating sites, chat sites, web cam interaction and other methods of interacting with others, to give a temporary sense of being wanted; that may lead to a sense of feeling love and affection. You never fill that void for very long. You leak and keep searching to fill the leak. That might mean giving sex away to get the affection and sense of being wanted, but after the sex, may come rejection again and therefore repeat hurt for a season; eventually getting up and doing it again.
