Sex addiction is not something that is often talked about publicly. However, there are not a few people who struggle with sex addiction, including some of the most famous characters.
Sex addiction is not uncommon in Hollywood. The stress of being a celebrity can be too much to handle, leading some stars to turn to sex as a way to escape. Others face hordes of fans and admirers, causing them to leave a long-term partner.
Porn addiction is another challenge that many people – including celebrities – face, since internet pornography is so accessible. The negative effects of pornography addiction can cause a person to lose interest in their relationships and activities.
Many celebrities have spoken about their experiences with sex or porn addiction. These singers, actors and athletes have worked to live a balanced life without hyper-sexual disorders or porn addiction.
Kanye West
Kanye West's first encounter with sexual desire came in early childhood, fostering a sex addiction that would manifest itself in adulthood. "My dad left out a Playboy when I was 5 years old, and it influenced almost every choice I made for the rest of my life," West told Elle in 2019.
James Franco
Actor James Franco developed a sex addiction while recovering from alcohol addiction. On the Jess Cagle Podcast, he admitted to sleeping with students who were attending an acting school he used to run.
"Është një ilaç kaq i fuqishëm," tha ai. “Unë u lidha me të për 20 vite të tjera. Pjesa tinëzare e kësaj është se unë qëndrova i matur nga alkooli gjatë gjithë asaj kohe.” Që nga viti 2016, Franko është shëruar nga varësia ndaj seksit dhe vazhdon të punojë drejt një stili jetese të shëndetshëm.
Jada Pinkett Smith
Në një episod të podcast-it të saj Red Table Talk, Jada Pinkett Smith pranoi se po luftonte me varësinë ndaj seksit në një moment të jetës së saj. Ajo pranoi se varësia nga alkooli dhe droga nuk kanë qenë diçka e re në familjen e saj.
"Llojet e mia të varësisë kapërcejnë nga një në tjetrën. Kur isha më e re, definitivisht mendoj se kisha një lloj varësie ndaj seksit... çdo gjë mund të rregullohej nga seksi"
Smith thotë se tani ka një tjetër varësi, stërvitjen.
Billi Eilish
Grammy Award-winning artist Billie Eilish went through her own struggles with porn addiction after a video for the first time when she was just 11 years old. In an interview on The Howard Stern Show, the "Bad Guy" singer said she used to watch porn to feel "accepted" but has since completely distanced herself from it.
"I think it really blew my mind," she said.
