Do you doubt the legitimacy of sex addiction? Here’s why you shouldn’t.

Based on the results of a new study about sex addiction, Rachael Rettner of MyHealthNewsDaily, said that “sex addiction is a real thing.”

Since I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist, also certified as a Sexual Addiction Therapist (CSAT), I am very grateful for this new research. I provide services for people who have been gripped by the despair of living a secret sex life for ten, twenty, even thirty years or more.

The devastation in their families is real; the pain and betrayal are not made up. I see it every day as families strive to mend from their loved ones’ sexual addiction. Healing from the pain and loss can take years of hard work.

    Of course it is… Why do you think people are sexing little children, raping senior citizens, and animals? Its a sickness

  • ANTMilf

    I have one word for this: DUH!

  • luvleigh

    Whoever debated sex was not addictive. It makes you feel good, and if its good enough it can take you way from reality. However I do believe some people use this as an excuse to do whatever they want. People trying to have their cake and eat it too, lies, games, making commitments they have no intentions of keeping.That’s the real issue.

    Sex addiction is very real. It’s not just having a lot of sex or really liking sex. The adverse effect is that creates problems in other areas of your life or puts you in dangerous situations.

    I don’t doubt it. You can get addicted to nearly anything. What i do dislike is people who aren’t addicted but don’t want to change or just want sympathy saying that they are addicted. Tiger Woods is not an addict, he’s a h*e. As well as tons of other celebrities.

      But hoes are addicted. If not, they would stop. Once you start something, maybe it will take over and become bigger than you. So, I don’t doubt Tiger was addicted. What I don’t like is people who get married knowing they are wh0re material instead of marriage material. They need to just stay single and wh0re themselves out until they become old and lonely.

        Being addicted to the lifestyle that comes from being a h*e is not the same thing as being sex addicted. Often times being a h*e is the sign of a different issue, like depression, boy issues, etc. People living like that need help too, but they need to identify their problem instead of claiming something they know they don’t have.

    Yes I know someone who’s addicted to sex. He’s married but cheats on his wife with 3 different women and he still has one night stands whenever he can. I don’t think this is normal it has to be an addiction.

  • Boom.

    I watched a documentary on this, yea sex addicts are real, but they don’t just pop up and almost all of the ones I watched had some kind of psychological trauma in the past like continued molestation or one woman had been raped multiple times since she was a teen. So sorry, but people like Tiger Woods are still not addicts.

  • Meyaka

    I’m sorry but if my husband suddenly becomes a sex addict,I won’t deal.

  • gmarie

    Thank god for the right to choose. I choose not to accept this argument lol. Have some self control for crying out loud.

    If you overindulge in anything, it can become an addiction. However, sex addiction is a so commonly used excuse that I don’t tent to believe it.

  • Pivyque

    Everything is an addiction.
