![]() ![]() Many SAA members use a "three circle" concept to model their behaviors. Members are encouraged to respect each other's definitions of sobriety. In SAA each member creates a unique definition of "sexual sobriety" based on abstaining from a personalized list of compulsive sexual behaviors. When completing the questionnaire males more often perceive themselves as sexually compulsive, but score lower (show less signs of sexual addiction), on average, than females. This questionnaire, with slight modifications so that it could be used experimentally, was able to correctly differentiate self-identified sex addicts and court-determined sex offenders from a control group. There is a specific questionnaire that can be used to determine if a potential member is likely a sex addict. Some SAA groups screen new members before giving them meetings times or locations. There also exists a group called COSA, for family members of SAA members it is described as analogous to Al-Anon for family members of AAA. SAA is open to anyone who desires greater control over their behavior, and is intended to be safe for people of all sexual orientations. SAA was founded in 1977 by several men who wanted a greater sense of anonymity than what they perceived in other twelve step programs for sex addicts. Sex Addicts Anonymous (SAA) is an organization that describes itself as providing a twelve-step program for recovery from what it calls sex addiction. Not to be confused with Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous or Sexaholics Anonymous. ![]()
