The behavior of a partner with a sexual addiction can be a source of great suffering. The feeling of betrayal, of not being able to meet his or her needs, becomes a source of suffering for the partner. 

It's important to be able to understand that you have a medical problem, and to help your partner realize this so that he or she can seek professional help. 

For further information, we recommend that you consult :

- The Geneva University Hospitals website, and their special report on addictions
- The website of Dr Sanquer's practice, psychologist and sexologist

For support in cases of addiction, it's important to consult a professional such as a sexologist or addictologist.
