Thousands of men and women struggle with the pain and suffering associated with an uncontrollable urge to take part in sexual behaviors such as watching pornography, excessive masturbation or having multiple sexual partners. Sex addicts realize that they have little control over their sexual behaviors and this lack of control often leaves people feeling alone, afraid and as if there is nowhere else to turn.Sex Addicts Anonymous为那些对强迫性行为上瘾的人提供康复支持，为那些需要帮助的人提供力量、希望和支持。

Are You A Sex Addict?

There’s a difference between an ill desire to take part in sexual behaviors that you know are wrong or that cause undue harm to others in your life and being a sex addict. Sex addicts recognize their behaviors as posing significant problems in their lives but despite their desire to do what’s right, they continue to fall victim to the erratic and compulsive activity or sexual behaviors. You may want to stop, you may have even tried to stop, but you continue to suffer from a lack of control over your will to do better.

The following characteristics are common among sex addicts:

• Feeling powerless when it comes to sexual behaviors and having a perceived inability to quit taking part in sexual activities that are disruptive to a normal lifestyle
• 由于性活动或性参与而无法管理生活
• 对你参加的活动感到羞耻或不高兴，但仍然继续这样做
• 试图戒烟、减少性活动或不参与某些行为而失败
• 全神贯注于性
• 把性当作一种仪式性的行为
• Suffering negative consequences as a result of sexual behavior and continuing to take part in activities regardless

If you have suffered any of the above scenarios and sexual behaviors continue to interrupt your life, you could be suffering from more than just a natural will to be sexual—these could be signs ofsex addiction.

什么是匿名性上瘾者？

For those who are willing to accept that they have a problem and that they need help, there are methods of recovery that can work. Counseling and therapy are usually very effective but can leave a recovering sex addict in search of more support; that’s where Sex Addicts Anonymous comes into play. The Sex Addicts Anonymous (SAA) fellowship is a supportive environment in which men and women who want to improve and overcome their sex addiction can meet together for peer support, guidance and integration back into society.

Once an addict is willing to accept that he or she is powerless over their addiction and that the addictive sexual behavior requires help from outside sources, SAA groups can actually have many benefits. Like many other addiction support groups, Sex Addicts Anonymous is a twelve step recovery method that encourages abstinences, sobriety, spirituality, sponsorship and service amongst members.

How Much Does Sex Addicts Anonymous Cost?

参加SAA中提供的常规支持小组没有相关费用。性成瘾匿名组织成员必须满足的唯一要求是，他们必须有停止参与成瘾性行为的愿望。会上接受捐赠，欢迎会员向组织捐赠，但不是必须的。

SAA会议类型

There are various types of匿名性瘾meetings that may be offered in your hometown. Some meetings are for men only, women only or mixed and some are considered open or closed. A solid understanding of what types of Sex Addicts Anonymous meetings are available to provide you with peer support will help you to choose the best meeting for your individual needs. The types of SAA meetings that you may hear about include:

• 针对性别的会议比如只给男人用的或者只给女人用的。大多数时候，性上瘾者的匿名会议实际上被认为是混合的，这意味着他们允许男女成员参加。有些男女分开的会议只欢迎男性或女性参加；SAA提供这些会议的前提是，一些遭受性上瘾的男性和女性只有在与同性成员一起参与康复时才会感到舒服。
• Closed meetingsare only open to people who have a true desire to stop their compulsive oraddictive sexual behaviors. 出席非公开会议要求个人承认他们的性行为是一个问题，他们想改变。
• 公开会议对任何有兴趣了解匿名性上瘾者和性上瘾者的人开放。参加公开会议不需要承认性上瘾。
• 网络或在线会议are open meetings that are held in actual real time via the internet. Anyone with an internet connection and a desire to learn more about SAA or a desire to receive support for sexual addiction may attend online meetings.
• 电话会议are provided via a conference call over the telephone. These meetings are sometimes common in certain SAA groups and are typically scheduled around the busy schedules of all members of the group to provide for a supportive atmosphere that is also accommodating to such needs.
