Abstract

Attachment theory is one of the psychological concepts explaining the relationship between early childhood experiences (in relation to caregivers) and many problems in later life (emotional disorders, personality disorders, relationship disorders). Researchers are also trying to use it to explain addiction, especially sex addiction. The path from attachment style in childhood to addiction can lead through a mechanism of disturbed affect regulation, a neurological and cognitive mechanism. The literature also describes the specificity of the family of origin (parenting style, emotional climate) of people addicted to sex. In addition, the socio-cultural etiology of sexual behavior with traits of an addictive personality comes to the fore, apart from early childhood experiences. Researchers postulate to look at sexual behavior in terms of hypersexuality, OCSB (out-of-control sexual behavior) or sex addiction from a new perspective. In the past the people at gmost at risk for addiction (including sexual addiction) were the ones with a tough childhood. However, recent changes in society, culture and technology meant that everyone is equally endangered as our entire environment has become a part of an addiction culture.
