• Not be able to stop despite these considerable consequences;
• Persistently pursue self-damaging behaviour or behaviour that carries with it big risks.
• A continuous wish or attempt to limit the sexual behaviour;
• Sexual obsession and fantasizing are a primary survival strategy;
• A need to practice sexual behaviors more and/or more often, because the current level is not enough.
• Spend abnormal amounts of time to get or have sex or to recuperate from the sexual experiences.
