SEXperience - Experiences Around SEX with Dr. Rachana Watramani
Love and sex are two different concepts. Addiction to sex and love is a common manifestation of the illness; just because it doesn’t involve a substance doesn’t mean it is any less harmful or destructive to the individual sufferer, or to their family and loved ones. We spoke to Dr. Rachana Watramani who is a Counseling Psychologist and Relationship Counselor who helps people embrace their true self and here’s what she told us about her experience with her clients.
Biological, Psychological and Social
While working with my clients, I have noticed three main reason : Biological, Psychological and Social causes for addiction. Biological reasons where some individuals have higher hormone levels than others; this can affect their sex drive. Psychological reasons where those who have suffered abuse in childhood or during their relationships, may be more prone to developing a sex or love addiction. Social reasons where the addiction may be learned behavior, if a child is brought up in a home where one partner is a love addict, that child may go on to believe that this behavior is normal and so continue the cycle.
Look Out For These
People addicted to Love often face common symptoms where they Cling to an idealized relationship, they return time and again to an abusive and damaging relationship and place responsibility for emotional wellbeing on others. Those addicted to Sex Need more sexual activity or more extreme forms to feel the same pleasure and often engage in risky sexual behavior. They end up neglecting personal and financial responsibilities in favor of sexual activity.
After Effects are Harmful
Those affected often feel deep shame and guilt around their addiction. Fear of being mocked or judged often delays them in seeking help. As with any addiction, they simply cannot get enough of the activity they are addicted to and often resort to more risky and extreme behaviors in order to try and satisfy themselves. Many that suffer from love or sex addiction, do not even realize it is an illness and that there is treatment and help available.
I do not have an exact number on how many clients I have worked with but more and more people are understanding Love and Sex addiction to be an illness and are seeking professional help. The ultimate goal for any sex and love addiction treatment isn’t to deprive you of any form of intimate relationship. Therapy aims to give you the best chance of learning to develop and maintain healthy romantic connections and relationships which may not have been possible in the past.

Hello everyone, I am from Wembley, Britain. I want to write this testimony to tell others and thank Dr. Odunga for what he has done for me. The first 12 years of my marriage I had 5 miscarriages and I was called all sorts of names by my mother-in-law and this made my marriage life very hectic and a burden of sorrow. I contacted Dr. Odunga for help and I will say that he is a very strong and honest man and he indeed helped me solve my problem. I saw his email in a testimony and I contacted him, little did I know it would be the end of all my problems. After 2 days of contact, I received a fertility herb and he told me to use it. The herb worked and my husband even loved me more and bought me expensive things. One afternoon, I went to a nearby hospital and came back home with the positive result of my pregnancy and after 9 months I gave birth to a baby boy. Ever since I contacted Dr. Odunga, my story has been different. I have 3 children at present and I am very happy in my marriage. Please, contact him at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com OR Whats App him +2348167159012 to help you too
