The process and climax of sex hits your brain with dopamine and feel good chemicals. Your brain is already designed to be addicted to these chemicals, as the brain simply won't operate without them. You can't get the same amount or rush of these chemicals by any other means either.
Now like you said, the sheer amount of sex you have isn't an issue, unless it suddenly stops. You might find yourself looking elsewhere for your next fix. So technically the harmful component is not the sex, but the loss of it that may cause some people to do stupid things.
Sex addiction is a myth. Change my mind
