The Healthy Manhood Primer: How to Spot Pleasure Addiction Let’s be honest: Men love pleasure. Men love pleasure so much that sometimes, a guy might wonder if he has a pleasure addiction. A guy might do all sorts of things to foster his healthy manhood, such as using a good member health crème or otherwise taking care of his beloved tool, but it’s important to remember that not all member health goes back to the male organ itself. Sometimes it goes back to the mental and emotional issues that might lead to problems for that member, such as pleasure addiction. But how does a man know if he has a pleasure addiction or simply really, really loves pleasure? Understanding Pleasure addiction Also known as hypersensuality, pleasure addiction is defined as a preoccupation with sensual fantasy. It can include elements of casual or anonymous coupling, the excessive use of adult materials, self-gratifying to a point where it interferes with daily life, romantic intensity, and objectification of partners. To be classified as pleasure addiction, these behaviors must last for six months or more. It must also continue despite the efforts to stop it or curb it. It will likely have serious impacts on a person’s personal life, social life, and ability to work. In fact, it can be easily compared to a gambling addiction, or even an addiction to alcohol and tablets. But Is It Really Addiction? There is some debate about what actually constitutes an addiction. That’s because the object of addiction – in this case, pleasure – is used to make a person feel better. However, men use sensual fun and self-pleasuring all the time to relieve anxiety and stress. So is it really an addiction? The answer lies in how often it happens, or how much of a crutch it becomes.
