Episode 086: Is It Sex Addiction? Understanding Out-of-Control Sexual Behavior and Infidelity

Episode 086: Is It Sex Addiction? Understanding Out-of-Control Sexual Behavior and Infidelity

If you or your partner are navigating the aftermath of infidelity and wondering whether the sexual behavior involved was really "sex addiction," this episode is a must-listen.

In Episode 86, I'm unpacking one of the most common and confusing questions couples face after betrayal:
Is it sex addiction—or is something else going on?

We'll explore:

  • Why "sex addiction" is not a recognized mental health diagnosis in the DSM-5

  • The risk of mislabeling sexual behavior and missing the deeper emotional drivers

  • What the Out of Control Sexual Behavior (OCSB) model is and why it offers a more compassionate, effective path forward

  • Actionable next steps for couples dealing with out-of-control sexual behavior—including excessive porn use or secretive sexual activity

This episode is especially supportive for couples who want to move beyond shame, blame, or one-size-fits-all labels and into real, values-based healing.
