  • Volume 57 Number 10 Features The Western Carolinian Page 5 Thursday, October 24, 1991 Sexual Addiction John Ritchie Contributing Writer Our American culture is becoming increasingly aware of different types of addiction (e.g., alcohol,drugs, gambling, food, work, etc.) and the addiction cycle. Sex addiction is now being addressed with greater understanding of how the addiction progresses and how to treat it. An addiction can be defined as an unhealthy relationship with a mood-altering substance or experience which becomes destructive to one's health, relationships, and self concept. An addict progresses through stages in which he/she retreats further from the reality of friends, family, and work and becomes emotionally and psychologically isolated in maintaining this double life. The sex addict utilizes sexual thoughts and behaviors to diminish or distract from present stress and to temporarily enhance self stimulation and a sense of power, "connection", or self importance. In the long run, the addict loses the ability to manage his/her relationships, work, finances, and health. He/she loses a solid sense of self and experiences much shame, guilt, and powerlessness because of the damage he/she causes to others and oneself. The addiction cycle is Preoccupation, Ritualization, Compulsive Sexual Behavior, and Despair. For the sex addict, the Preoccupation phase is when he/she gets into a trance or mood in which he/she is completely engrossed with thoughts of sex. This mental state creates an obsessive search for sexual stimulation. The Ritualization phase includes the addict's own special routines, which intensify the arousal and excitementand lead up to sexual behavior. Examples of routines include cruising, watching, waiting, and preparing. The Compulsive sexual behavior involves the actual sexual act, which is the end goal of the Preoccupation and Ritualization. Sexual addicts are unable to control or stop their behavior. Despair follows the sexual act and is a feeling of utter hopelessness addicts have about their behavior and their powerlessness. The cycle then repeats as the pain felt at the end of this cycle can by numbed or hidden by sexual preoccupation which re-engages the ad diction cycle. There are three levels of sexual addiction. Level one includes behaviors like compulsive masturbation, exploitive or degrading sex (when the other feels victimized or sexual needs become more important than relationships needs), repetitive one-night stands or use of prostitutes, multiple affairs, or obsession with pornography. Level two includes behaviors like exhibitionism , voyeurism, indecent phone calls, and indecent liberties. Level three includes such acts as child molestation, incest and rape. If you feel you (or someone you know) repetitively turn to sex ual thoughts or behaviors to meet personal needs, which in turn destructively interferes with relationships and work and diminishes self worth, then you may want to utilize (or recommend) counseling to help break this addictive cycle.

Memory is intriguing to all With today's complicated society and technology, the subject of memory is intriguing to both young and old people. Overloaded mental circuits affect memory, but they are not as devastating as cell loss and neuron entanglement. An article on "Memory" (Newsweek. Sept. 29, 1986) says that, while in the past, memory has always been the domain of philosophers and poets, today's scientists are studying the hardware of the brain and psychologists are probing to learn whether there are different kinds of memory. They want to know how emotions can strengthen memories to make them as vivid as the day they were formed. Newsweek contends that memory precedes knowledge; yet it has been determined that there is no single entity that can be called "memory." To short-term memory it ascribes the ability to remember a phone number long enough to call it; while long-term memory retains for a lifetime something that is experienced in seconds. According to the article, once a memory is embedded in the mind, it is stored forever; although a person may "forget" how to reach it. Parts of the brain, it says, store facts (names, images, events) whileotherparts store procedures (recollections of how to do things). It explains how memories, like books in a library, may be arranged according to subject. A child's first baseball game may be recalled by thoughts in general about baseball, through mental pictures of a hometown baseball field, or by seeing a baseball. Emotions, too, are said to serve.either as an index to the memory, or as a fixative to block it. The sense of smell is often associated with certain memories and it is thought that the same parts of the brain may process both odors and memories. Recent studies on Altzheimer's Disease have added insight into the causes of memory loss and dispelled the myth that old age and senility are always concomitants. The techniques they offer are helpful in improving the memory of people both young and old.
