When looking for signs of sex addiction there are specific behaviors that are important to look out for. Many times 'other addiction' (drugs alcohol gambling, eating disorders) clients will show signs of sex addiction that may even go unnoticed, some instances of this include, noticing that a client is dressing provocatively or in more extreme cases a client may attempt to start a sexual relationship with a staff member. If a client jokes about sex within conversations at times when it is not necessarily appropriate or even mentions current sexual escapades then there is a chance that they are dealing with sex addiction.
However, the most important aspect of a client to look at is there past history. Is there an occurrence of multiple abortions, arrests from sexual escapades or life consequences that stem from sex? If a person exhibits these signs it may be important to look into sex addiction as an underlying issue. Some other warning signs to look out for are whether or not your client has a history of prostitution or chronic infidelity.
