What to do if I notice obsessive sexual thoughts and it's starting to affect my satisfaction?

Research shows that sexual compulsivity affects men and women differently: in men, it is associated with deterioration of physical function, while in women, it is directly linked to dissatisfaction, bypassing physiology. If you recognize yourself in this description, it is worth consulting a sexologist or psychotherapist — a specialist will help you understand whether the problem lies in the body or in the emotional sphere. You can also take a pause and listen to yourself: what do you really want from sex. This is not a diagnosis, but if the obsession causes stress, talking to a doctor will be helpful.
