HMMM! Al l these years I tought I was just taking up the slack.

It's "in the throes" of... not "in the throws of". I'd expect more from a doctor than reliance on Speelcheeker.

So when is sex "NOT AN ADDICTION"?.....once a week, twice, three....six? I think it's all in the eyes of the unwanted; the person who does not like it very often. I was married to a woman who did not care how often. We divorced and my next girlfriend liked it every nite. Now I am with a lady who can take it or leave it { I think the later is what she really likes!} I miss the sexual connection!!!! Am I a pervert for wanting it often? Oh well if I can get it daily...I WILL TAKE IT!

Yes it is a problem and yes it is real. My ex has this problem to a very real extreme, to the point of masturbating at home and work several times a day. It has even cost him several jobs.

Sex is a physical addiction. A physical addiction is defined when physical withdraw symptoms are present when the chemicals/action is no longer present. Being a former sex addict, I know that people truly addicted to sex may experience physical withdraw symptoms. Every time I would quit, I would get a migraine. If I went longer, I would develop a lack of focus. When I had sex again, the problems would go away.

Our societies problem is the emasculation of men...the feminist movement ...

I was just about to agree with you when I read this, but then as I continued on, and read this:

".....has made it immoral for us to sleep around with many women, when it seems that this type of behavior is nature's intention."


I realized that you are an idiot.

at least there's a cure

.....marriage

The term "$ex addiction" is not really accurate. The addiction is not to the actual $ex act but to Porn and Masturbation. The people with the problems do this to the exclusion of all other forms of Sexual interaction. Yes it is a problem and yes it is real. My ex has this problem to a very real extreme, to the point of masturbating at home and work several times a day. It has even cost him several jobs.

Well, that's not true in every case..it's not just porn and masturbation.
