THT launches sexual addiction group for gay men

On Wednesday the 16th of July, Terrence Higgins Trust (THT) is launching a group for gay men who feel they behave compulsively or addictively when it comes to sex. The group will take place weekly for 10 weeks from 6.30 – 9pm in Central London.

The group aims to help people who feel that their sexual behaviour is having an overwhelming and negative impact on their lives.

Gordon Mundie, Group work co-ordinator at THT said “Having lots of sex might sound fantastic but some people find it taking over their lives or becoming more of a compulsion. This group aims to offer support to men who feel like their relationship with sex seems out of control. If this is the case, you might not be able to talk to your friends about it, but there is help available. Just get in touch.”

The group is funded by the Pan London HIV Prevention Partnership. For more information, venue details or to book an assessment please call 020 7812 1773 or email groupworklondon@tht.org.uk.
