How Desire And Powerlessness Can Lead To A Compulsion For Sexual Behavior

If it is ruining your life and you can''t stop it, it''s an addiction.

Hmmmm....I need to do more research before I can come to a conclusion....

[luvchild1027]

Addiction is a disease of the body, mind and spirit that''s made up of three components: compulsive behavior, obsessive mentality and, the least obvious of the thre components, self-centered fear. Those of us who describe self as "having many addictions" are identifying the different compulsive behaviors, (substance abuse, overeating, gambling, compulsive ***) as the problem, when the REAL problem lies in the self, as this news reports suggests. I agree with Dr Drescher''s assertion that *** addiction is "a mask covering deep-seated issues", but I would take it a step further to say that''s true of addiction, regardless of the behavior. When a person in recovery admits they are an addict, he or she is assuming responsiblity for their behavior which opens the door to maintain daily in a personal program of recovery that reduces the amount of harm inflicted on self or others. That''s different from the person who wants to justify unhealthy behavior by proclaiming, "I''m an addict! I can''t help myself!" Being a *** addict is not determined by a feeling of moral deficiancy based on social mores or the quantity of *** one is having. Answering the question "Am I an addict" can only be done only by the individual by contemplating such questions as "Is this compulsive behavior causing disruption in the life of myself or others?" and "What is my TRUE intention for engaing in this behavior?"

Thanks, Truthislife. I invite non Christians to read the scripture as well.

You''re welcome. I invite non-Christians to read scripture as well also. So many of us Christians have given more people reason to not believe in God than to beleive in Him it''s shameful. But, yet He is still the truth. Thessalonians was written to Christians in Thessalonica because they had these problems back then too. Hypocrisy is a world problem, not just a church one.

I am probably not the only one saying this, but too lazy to go through all the posts to verify ...


The biggest ''problem'' is this matter ?

Right here. Where we are now. What we are trying to do.

Talk about this subject.

CBS - you will not allow the word ''***'' to be written.

How can we talk about something if we can not use the word ?



Reminds me of a story told by a Professor in University many years ago.

Was about efforts to teach birth control in India.

There was a problem however.

Was no way to talk about it since their language did not have a word for ''***''



Unless you find a way to update your censorship technology CBS, you have painted yourself into the same corner.

Hope you realize that, and will not need a 12 step program to break your control addiction.


Thanks

This seems like the old Roman empire, before they died, they were in a big orgies for the fun of it then they all died. Bush, Cheney, Condee Rice and Mark Foley, Ted Haggard go 1st.

It''s mine, and I''ll wash it as thoroughly as I want to.

Cleanliness is next to Godliness, I always say.

And I am Godly.

So I''ll wash it as often, as fast, as hard and for as long as I like. Repeatedly. Night and day.

I like feeling clean. It makes me feel dirty.

Rub-a-dub-a-dub-a-dub-a-dub-a-dub-a-dub. . . .

I would like to point out the psychotic nature of the CBS censors. You can lift a quote containing the word "sexx" directly from the article. By the time you have posted it with your comment, it becomes "***". Wierd or what?
