Most people are already very well aware of sex addiction thanks to the Tiger Woods scandal a couple of years ago. What most people don’t realize is that there’s actually a disorder that is the polar opposite of sex addiction. Sexual Anorexics actively avoid sex, as well as any form of romantic intimacy. This isn’t due to a hormonal issue, either. Instead, it’s due to a deep seated fear of rejection. Many who suffer from Sexual Anorexia actually will go out of their way to hide their disorder, simply because they are so scared of being judged.
