Sexologist Dr Prakash Kothari says, “One in every 20 people in India is addicted to sex but they do not know it or do not come forward to talk about it.” Dr Kothari goes on to define sexual addiction as a state “when desires are uncontrollable, needs are unquenchable and behavior is compulsive.” If that sounds like you, be on the lookout for these other signs that indicate you might have a problem on your hands.
