Sexual obsession and fantasy as a primary coping strategy
Though acting out sexually can temporarily relieve addicts' anxieties, they
still find themselves spending inordinate amounts of time in
obsession and fantasy. By fantasizing, the addict
can maintain an almost constant level of arousal.
Together with obsessing, the two behaviors can create a kind of analgesic "fix."
