subject: Sexual Addiction, Promiscuity, Infidelity and Meaningless Sex [print this page] Infidelity on the part of the promiscuous partner is inevitable since the former would be interested in having extra affairs rather than confine the sexual activities with the innocent partner. This would eventually lead to the innocent partner leaving the marriage or the relationship. If such relationship is meaningful to the afflicted, its dissolution would bring emotional distress, anger and anxiety. Like substance abuse, sexual addiction in its long term effect would cause the afflicted to become depressed, remorseful, desperate, lonely and anti-social. Shame and anger may even lead to suicidal tendencies. For in the end, the sex addict would only find regret and remorse upon realizing his or her pitiful situation. Some of its effects may even be irreversible. At this point, the afflicted has to admit to his or her problem if he or she wishes to recover from it.
