Use of sexual humor
|
Just jokes?
|
|
|
Sex addicts may use sexual humor all of the time. They are always teasing (which many consider sexual harassment) or telling sexual jokes. Sex addicts "sexualize" most situations and see some humor in it. Sexual jokes can be used to recruit new sexual partners. Sex addicts can gauge the reaction of a person hearing their sexual joke, and if that reaction is favorable, the level of sexual engagement may be taken up one step higher. |

Sex addicts are great at double entendre - words or phrases that might have two meanings, one of them sexual. Say something in this fashion and the sex addict will smile and point out the sexual content. If a person says, "My friend was able to get off on time this morning," a sex addict will interpret get off to be about orgasm and will make some sexual joke about it. | |
