The cycle of sexual addiction continues to produce higher levels of shame, which in turn alienates the person to further lose intimate connections, which continues to drive the addiction. Therefore, shame, affect regulation, and sexual boundary development are the essential factors for successful treatment for sex addicts.
In a study, it was found that 72% had physical abuse, 81% had experienced sexual abuse, and 97% of those suffering with a sexual addiction had an emotionally abusive past sometime in their life. (Carnes 1997)
