More and more businessmen entering therapy for sexual addiction.

Step aside, David Duchovny -- New York sex therapists are seeing a startling increase in patients from the finance field, thanks to the declining economy.

According to psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert, there has been a rise in sex addicted men at his Manhattan practice in just the past six months.

"Since early spring, maybe late winter, there's just been an increase, and I believe it might have something to do with the economy," he says. "A lot of the Wall Streeters use sex as a way to cope with stress. Bankers do tend to rely on pretty unhealthy ways of coping with stress -- drugs, sex.

"A lot of them will use adult services," Alpert adds. "Some of them come right out and say, 'I'm stressed. This is how I deal with it. It's not the worst thing in the world. I'm not using drugs.' But when it starts to increase, then it's a problem."

So how are these businessmen getting their kicks? According to Alpert, many of these men visit Asian massage parlors (i.e.: happy ending salons) during their lunch break. "The service received may include being masturbated or even oral sex," he says. "This has increased, as reported by several of my clients. Instead of going once a week, maybe they're going three or four times a week. And these are married men.

"I'm also seeing clients who utilize escort services, visit S&M parlors and strip bars almost nightly," he adds. "With the sex addict, where there's a risk and danger, there's often a rush. This temporarily satisfies their craving."

According to experts, when men feel stress from the disastrous financial world, they become vulnerable to dysfunctional coping mechanisms, which takes the form of excessive pornography use -- even at the office.
