Is a REAL thing but it isn't him wanting more sex than she does - or vice versa - no, nothing like that. It isn't about being able to say Yes.
Sex addiction is the inability to say No to anyone, anywhere, at any time - no matter how inappropriate, disgusting or illegal. The truly sex addicted has no boundaries, no limits whatsoever. The sex they do have is also not about orgasms, pleasure, or the shared intimacy - for them sex validates/proves their existence. "I fuck, therefore I am." Unfortunately for them, this 'proof of life' doesn't last and so they must continue.
This is a very rare condition and not a happy one.
That's a better definition of sex addiction than the usual horse manure that I typically see.
Once again your wisdom shines through EEK.
Some horse manure: Any addiction is the need or want for something to an extent that it interferes with normal relationships.
Evil gives a good operational definition with respect to sex specifically. Witness the current nonsense regarding various sport stars around the world.
Not sure I follow you Brandye. Are you saying Tiger is a sex addict or are you saying it is a misapplication of the term based on what we know from the media?
Personally, I have issues with the "Any addiction is the need or want for something to an extent that it interferes with normal relationships" concept of addiction.
Is work an addiction? It causes a lot of problems in many relationships. Is sex an addiction in every case of adultery? I find that hard to agree with. Also, I find it hard to buy the concept that there's an addiction which can be totally determined by another person (e.g. the spouse that only wants to have sex for reproductive purposes and no other. That person's spouse is a sex addict? Huh????)
Is money an addiction? People fight over money more than anything else and is a constant conflict in marital relationships (or so I hear, I'm not married myself, but I recall it being an issue in my parent's marriage which I did observe in person).
Please clarify.
Thanks.
WSO - Brandye did say horse manure - as in "this is BS".
Tiger Woods, et al, is easily understood. Mrs. Woods is also completely understandable. He just went 'over the limit'. Now the senator and the Brazilian involved emotions therefore his wife divorced him. Spitzer's transgression was a commercial transaction only so his wife didn't. NONE of these men are sex addicts.
The sex addict has no ego, no sense of self-worth.
The examples above have an excess of ego: hubris.
Phew, I am cool then. I'd love to have more sex, but I can definitely wait on.
Not sure there are any real addictions, I there may only be things people do without real consequences. If the consequences are severe enough, then you won't do that action again.
I wouldn't say i'm addicted to sex as such,but i think about it so much that my breasts and vagina hurt.I masturbate to try to alleviate my sexual frustration,but i never seem to be satisfied.
All of you have missed the point - it is NOT about the amount of sex you desire.
It is ALL about whether you think you exist when NOT having sex.
[QUOTE=ashok;261368]:):):):)sex[/QUOTE]Are you man enough for a woman like RG?and what is the point of having private messaging if you make it known to everyone on the forum the fact that you want to screw her
Could sexual addiction be driven by perhaps a feeling of being inadequate?
Raunchy, I dont think you fit the bill. You like I fall in to the catagory of one track mind and always horney :o )

addiction is controllable, according to an expert, who says new research could help treat the problem by dealing with the issues causing impulsive sexual behaviour.
For an addict, the behaviour is not about sex but more an urge for sexualised relief
Whew, than i'm not a sex addict.
But I have a hard time saying no to an attractive woman who wants to have sex
I also pursue sex a lot
Nightmare - you've missed it.
Addictions are NOT controllable - that's the entire point. Addicts will do anything and everything no matter how debasing or foul and will sacrifice all to gain what they crave.
Addicts do NOT have a normal life in any way.
and Super - you're not addicted - we can tell because you also used the word "attractive" - the women have to be attractive. If you were addicted to sex all that would matter would be "breathing" and even that would be up for grabs.
I've watched an episode of a show called "sex rehab with Dr Drew" yesterday. It was episode 5, I suspect, and I don't know the previous (and I'm not allowed to view them in my area according to VH1 website :mad: [url=http://www.vh1.com/shows/sex_rehab_with_dr_drew/series.jhtml]Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew | VH1.com)
Anyways, I guess sexaddiction is not about "sex". Just like a drugaddiction is not really about the drugs. It's a cover. What I saw in this show is that all girls were sexually abused, raped and/or had a history with violent relationships. This reflects in both sexual as non-sexual behavior. Their boundaries were violated in the past and today they seem unable to set boundaries. Not to mention protect them. Some of the girls are unable to express true emotions, they learned to smile when they should be crying. (Personally, I'm far away from any addiction and my history is not near to the horror these girls went through. But looking at their non-sexual behavior was rather scary at times, cause it felt like looking into a mirror, especially on how I used to be a few years ago. I've learned and still learning though.)
I guess that's what it's like with most addictions; something horrible preceded it. The addiction is supposed to cover up things we try to hide from.
wow i like dis eeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh
