Extractions: Eating Disorders are serious medical/emotional and behavioral problems that occur when food becomes a compulsive mechanism for coping. People suffering from eating disorders believe that the use or control of food is necessary for the relief from uncomfortable moods and feelings. Eating disorders are serious medical/emotional/behavioral problems that require specialized, professional treatment. Destructive eating behavior can be triggered by external pressures to maintain a certain weight. What begins as weight-controlling behavior may end up as an eating disorder; bulimia (binge eating with or without purging), bulimarexia, or anorexia nervosa (self-imposed starvation). On the surface, the desire to be thin appears to be the cause of the disorder, but food is not the real issue. The real issues are underlying fears, doubts, insecurities, low self-esteem, and anxiety. The eating disorder victim believes that use or control of food is necessary for relief from uncomfortable moods and feelings. Food is a drug for the person with an eating disorder. When it is consumed in excessive amounts, it "dulls the senses and relieves the pain." Nationwide experience shows that eating disorder victims almost always suffer from depression. About sixty percent come from homes where there is a history of chemical dependency, and some experience family violence. Many have suffered some form of sexual abuse, and more than half of bulimic patients experience intermittent periods of substance abuse and are at high risk for chemical dependency.
Repentance For Sexual Addiction
God wants to strip us of our illusions. Repentance for sexual addiction. Theprocess of dealing with sexual addiction is a process of repentance.
http://www.pureintimacy.org/online1/essays/a0000025.html

Extractions: Many of the illusions we design to find fulfillment are sexual. We believe that if only someone attractive will touch us with warmth, everything will be okay. God wants to strip us of our illusions. Repentance for Sexual Addiction The process of dealing with sexual addiction is a process of repentance. For some, the word repentance conjures up images of preachers pounding on pulpits, demanding that we get right with God and flee our sins. Consequently, it can seem more like an act of shaming than a challenge to move towards God. Yet repentance essentially means to change direction. It means to turn away from a focus on yourself and your own autonomy and toward God. Dr. Harry Schaumburg Give Us Feedback The real question isn't, "Are you sexually addicted?" The real question is, "Are you living your life by demanding that you fulfill your desires and avoid all pain?" A sexual fantasy stems from a desire to gain more in a relationship than is possible. It's an attempt to gorge ourselves with passion and move into a state free of any chance for disappointment. Simply put, we want to enter the Garden of Eden again. But the very desire to know the bliss of the Garden here on earth is skewed by our obsession with self. In demanding the bliss of someone's real or imagined warmth, we become consumed with ourselves, which destroys the very ecstasy we seek. There is no way out. We are locked in reality, always wanting and therefore always destroying what we want. The process is insane. Until we become consumed with the love that desires to give for the sake of another's good, all joy is an illusion.

Sexual Addiction
This concept of hypersexuality ties in well with Brown's (1991, p. 117)definitions of sexual addiction as compulsive sexual behavior.
http://www.umkc.edu/sites/hsw/issues/sexaddict.html

Extractions: I. What is Addiction? In fact (Peele, p. 981, p. 24) suggests that addictions: Tend to eliminate psychological pain/reduce personal awareness of such when the "addict" is acting out. Causes one to be less aware of, or pay less attention to problems in his/her life and thus precludes their dealing with problems constructively. When not participating in the addiction, mental pain is experienced upon thinking about his/her life. Reduced self regard, personal disapproval and lowered self-esteem generate further practice of the addictive behavior. The cycle is repeated - returns to phase one of cycle. We see, then, that addictions are comprised of these elements: Devotion, to the point of compulsiveness, to a mood-altering experience; a cyclical preoccupation with achieving the desired effects in spite of life damaging consequences.

Click here to review an actual case study in which Viagra was successfully used to treat "functional impotency". Loss of Desire Other problems in men with sexual dysfunction are inability to have an orgasm, and loss of sexual desire. Loss of desire can be a complicated issue, including physical problems, hormonal imbalance, or mental issues such as depression. It is important to understand the relationship the man is having with his mate. This can destroy desire, particularly if the mate herself is having her own issues. One or two counseling sessions can be very helpful. A plan can then be formulated to repair the problem so one can go on with a normal sexual life. Women Women also struggle with sexual problems, but usually it is not as obvious as men. The most common problems among women are lack of desire, failure to respond sexually, or inability to have an orgasm. Some women also struggle with sexual addiction.

Extractions: Sexual Addiction The Problem Is your spouse 'super sexed' or is he or she a sexual addict? Are his or her sexual needs causing problems in your marriage? Is sex with just you - no matter the frequency - simply not enough for him or her? Sexual incompatibility can wreak havoc in a marriage. Counseling may return passion and intimacy to a marriage, if both partners are open and willing to consider compromise and change. What happens, though, in a marriage where one partner is sexually addicted? When sex with a spouse is never enough, no matter the frequency. When pornography, multiple sex partners, constant self-pleasuring and other sexual practices are never enough? Now the problem has moved into a much more intricate and complicated place... one which will cause pain and sorrow for all family members. Being 'super sexed' is no cause for alarm if the two of you are on the same level most of the time. EVERY relationship is going to have its moments when partners are out of sync with each other. When the need for sex gets out of control for either of you and your relationship is in jeopardy NOW there's a problem.

http://www.brunner-routledge.com/journals/sac.htm

Extractions: Now being understood and treated as a significant and widespread disorder, sexual addiction and compulsivity is an enormously complex problem that requires a multidisciplinary approach from psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, family therapists, pastoral counselors, and law enforcement personnel. Its emergence as a life or death issue is increasingly more apparent, manifesting itself in suicide, dangerous sexual practices, and high-risk sex that can result in catching HIV disease. Additional aspects that play a role in sexual addiction include sexual trauma, sexual exploitation at the hands of professionals such as physicians and clergy, sex offending, and much more. The first and only journal devoted to topics pertaining to this growing illness, Sexual Addiction and Compulsivity: The Journal of Treatment and Prevention is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for research and clinical practice. As the source for information in this expanding new field, this journal will give practicing clinicians useful and innovative strategies for intervention and treatment from the necessary multidisciplinary perspective. Conceptual issues regarding addiction, compulsivity, and sexual medicine will be explores as new research emerges, as well as the underlining challenges in public policy and prevention, and criteria for diagnosis and reimbursement.

Extractions: The increasing frequency of couples requesting help with adultery and sexual addiction is a strong indication that sexual sin will be the number-one marriage problem facing twenty-first-century Christians. Fortunately, God provides a tested and tried three-part formula for overcoming both adultery and sexual addiction. Invariably, however, if Christians don't know how to deal with these devastating sexual sins, they do great harm to both the sinner and the mate.
