It wrecks marriages, destroys careers, and saps self-worth, yet Americans are being diagnosed as sex addicts in record numbers.
The Cabala points out, Sexuality was dormant in the previous world call Tohu/Confusion and only now in this world called Tikun/Fixing, is sexuality being defined. The Cabala refers to the place of sexuality as Yesod/Foundation, made from the word Sod/Secret – the hidden.
Sexuality is found in the center column of the body that connects to the essence of the human being, like the third eye and navel; the triangle made from the two nipples and the navel are symbolic of the three pillars from which the body is built – left, right and center.
Addiction stems from experiencing the essence; the unbounded nature of essence leaves the taste of more – challenging, tempting the person through whatever means, to return to the source of everything. Experience evokes essence; addiction is the short cut.
There is a short road that is long, addiction; and there is long road that is short, experience – to treat sexuality with sensitivity is a long road, requiring patience, learning restraint and practicing love. Cabala is the most feminine of the Jewish knowledge.

In most cases, addiction also stems from experiencing trauma, especially during childhood. And at times the underlying emotional needs of a partner that is not met manifests in compulsive behaviors and adding complication to the problem is that the other half often believes that his or her trust has been irreparably corrupted.
