For some adolescents, curiosity also leads them to look at porn and self-stimulation. Young adults are experiencing sexual urges for the first time and are surrounded by an environment filled with others going through the same phases, as well as a society that is obsessed with sex. In many cases, difficult relationships, emotional pressure, problems at work or at school, and depression can all lead to a possible outcome of becoming a sex addict.** ==== 

====**The brain tells the sex addict that having sex is good the same way it tells others that water is good when they are thirsty. These brain changes translate into a sex addict’s obsession with sex and exclusion of other interests.** ====
