Do You Believe in Sex Addiction

  Not sure I believe in the diagnosis....I think we used to call it "ego-mania."

  People who are sex addicts engage in all sorts of behavior that go beyond simple promiscuity--some of these people do stuff that's clearly, painfully stupid to the point of being insane, yet it's an addiction that is tough for them to kick.

  +1 to this. Simply cheating on a spouse doesn't equate to being an addict, it's being stupid.

  It is real for sure. Many people are addicted to porn. Look it up.

  VH1 had a celebrity rehab for sex addiction a month or two ago. definitely pretty interesting, especially when you see why the addiction may have been triggered.

  I mean, if you aren't strong enough to control your urge to have sex with women, it could drive you to do crazy things. Not saying it is a defense in marriage either, and not trying to defend Woods either, just playing devils advocate.

  if you watch dr. drew's sex rehab, you'd know it exists. maybe not how tiger and others like him claim they have it, but people who have been abused or raped as children can become addicted to sex, and it is a serious affliction.

  We used to call AIDS gay cancer too.
