Sometimes, the Addict does feel the need to publicly humiliate their self in a public display of masturbation. Old women gasp and run the other way. Teenage boys laugh and point yelling out what a sicko the person is.

The truth is, with the internet providing more stimulation than ever before, these people do not have a way to remove the temptation or the desire to masturbate. Most obsessive sexual desires are pronounced throughout one’s day and cause discomfort in the workplace and often disgust from their partners. True addicts would rather have sex with themselves than partners anyway. They don’t view it as a problem, until someone brings it to their attention either directly or indirectly.
