The shame of being addicted to sex
Hit sex addiction movie Shame is screening in New Zealand and, for one recovering addict from Wellington, the condition is all too real.
The long-time married man, who asked not to be named, said he was hooked on sex with prostitutes for 20 years. He spent "many" thousands of dollars bedding hundreds of working girls.
"I first started visiting escorts as a teenager and thought it would all stop after I got married," he admitted.
"I did stay away from the scene for a while but before long I was back.
Brimming with self-loathing, he finally reached rock bottom. His wife eventually discovered his sleazy habit, but stood by him after accepting he had an addiction.
He attended a self-help group and has never looked back.
