So, is sex addiction real?

I can cite all kinds of psychologists and first person accounts that sex addiction is harder to kick than heroin or cocaine. I've met people who destroy their lives with sex addictions, ruining everything they care about. In their "sane" moments they hate themselves for what they do, but when the urge strikes they're powerless to stop themselves.

I met a girl who would sleep with anything that moved. I mean she was having sex 10 or more times a week, almost never with the same person. And then she'd cut herself later because she felt so bad about it. She had hundreds of scars all over her body. Saddest thing I've ever seen.

So just because it's a c*** she's putting into her body instead of a needle, it's not an addiction? Your comment is just plain ignorant.

Now dig up ya'll

Now we're stoned to the bone, hot and sweaty

Look at us, we're everything your parents ever warned you about

They think we're all junkies, but everybody's some kind of junkie

There's money junkies, booze junkies, dope junkies, sex junkies,

And there's one thing they can't understand , all of us, you and I, we're Godz , and Godz are rock and roll junkies

In addition to sex, I am addicted to drinking water and water-containing liquids and to foods.

Also, I cannot resist the daily urge to sleep, no matter how hard I try. I am hopelessly addicted.

I cannot resist the urge to watch television. I have coffee every morning. Pills to help me sleep. Hourly cigarettes.

I am simply beyond hope -- a HUMAN, no less.

For 50% population

Of course it is. Didn't you see the South Park episode featuring Tiger Woods that dealt with this issue? (Surprised that an old guy would be watching something like that? I am what I believe you young people would call "hip.")

Actually, only old people who think they are in touch with young people use the word hip. Not saying you aren't in touch with young people (to at least some extent) but believe me, young people don't use the word hip except when talking about the body part.

I think you may have missed OldXCGuy's humor my friend...

Yes, but it also goes by the name of "horny"

Nope. She's just a slut.

The general consensus in the clinical community is that there is no such thing as a separate and unique "Sex addiction". Compulsive sexual behaviour is usually related to anxiety disorders, either as a symptom or as a poor coping mechanism. SA is rarely effective because the program does not target the underlying psychopathology and merely targets behaviours that are only negative in the context of the anxiety felt by the patient.

There is no such thing as sex addiction. It is called "getting caught and needing a quick excuse."

Tiger Woods was not a sex addict, he was an opportunist.
