Comment: I told my ex husband , if he really wanted to heal himself from his sex addiction all what he needs to do is to keep his pantes zipped up . I do not think anypartner should site in the sex addicition support group meetings to help their partners . I went to one and I met people whoes been going to these meetings for years and still feel and have the same level of anger and frustration towordes there husbands as I did and I was new to the situation . I was sitting in my last meeting and I asked myself do I want to be that woman for the rest of my life one day out of every week for the rest of mylife sitting here talking about my husband sex addiction and I also saw that this woman whoes been going to these meeting for years is a very sad person . I did not want to be that I have my 3 year old son who I want to live happy life with , I want to show him what happiness is , so I called my divorce laywer . Every person who puts their families through a life full of sex addiction , cheating , and laying should be punished by divorce and it is the only way they would learn what they have done is wrong

Comment: my husband comitted suicide and lost our business, h ome, and his family due to his sex addiction....there are no words that describe the pain we all feel each day. He progressed from masturbation, affairs, swinger parties, prostitutes, voyerism....until he admitted that he hated himself but couldn't stop....then drove his rousch mustang over 90mph over a cliff...he was an intelligent man with a top secret security clearance, a pilot, a man of great accomplishments...he could not stop the compulsive cycle...it is a real illness....

Comment: Sex Addiction' is not an addiction at all. It is self arousal phenomena which is inside all the human beings. Lets not exgageratte the word meaning. Every people are affetced by the thinking power related to sex. Mind, body, language, attitute all related to sex. So, nothing to worry. Its just a piece of cake.

Comment: The pain of betrayal is unfathomable. Not only do you lose trust, you run the risk of STD's to yourself and your unsuspecting partner. Please think of the consequences before you cheat......why become commited to someone if you want to be free? iT'S NOT FAIR.

Comment: Alright, Danbookman, it is probably not that she had something to do with their addiction. If you have never been with someone addicted you don't know. It's about her in the choices she makes in the men she dates? Sure it is. There's probably some unresolved issues that cause her to choose such men, but remember that they are VERY charming men. She has nothing to do with their actual addiction. It's not her fault they were/are addicted, just as it's not a woman's fault if her husband is addicted to drugs, alcohol, or gambling. And trust me, she has probably definately taken a look at herself. Having a husband with a sex addiction makes you feel like ***. You wonder all the time, every minute of every day after you find out about it, what you did wrong, what you could have done better in bed, if you should have dressed sexier, how you could have picked such a philandering pig. It's not her fault.

Comment: Have you ever considered the fact that both your ex husbands have been sex addict may not be a coincidence?
Do you think you might have something to do with ther addiction or are you in denial or your ego simply won't let you take a look at yourself and your decision making?

Comment: Sex addiction is real! I have been married twice both my ex-husbands were addicted to sex. Sex is a sacred act not to be taken lightly. Sex should be between a man and a woman who are in love. I ask are we just dogs without any self control!!! What about the children caught up in all of this mess. I see the affects that sex addiction has had on my children. Nothing postive comes from this addiction. Broken families, sex disease, and unwanted pregnancy. If you ask me its selfish!! Before you procede with an action please think about how you decision may affect others around you! Life is about having families and other healthy relationships. If nothing positive comes out of it other than 15 min of gradifacation then don't do it!! I look at both my ex-husbands now and they are miserable. Not only did this addition affect me and the kids but most of all themselves. I'snt life about more than just banging some whore!!

Comment: There is no such thing as sex addiction. Sex is as normal as eating, and should be satisfied whenever possible. Those who created this fictitious ailment are either frigid, or afraid of a good hard one where the sun don't shine!

Comment: I do believe in sexual addiction and understand why women suffer less than men.I feel anyone can get addicted to anything. I believe a brain scan of those addicted are scanned to find what areas are stimulated during the compulsunary act more people would understand. It is a uncontrolled need for something. How can you understand alcohol addiction, but not sex addiction. You can't see someone wanting sex over anything else, but alcohol addiction is a known fact. People are addicted and get treated for chocolate. Yeah that sounds cute till you are 500 lbs, and having to have chocolate or you feel like you will die. addicts feel that not matter what the item a drug, food item, beverage, alcohol, sex, etc. They can not live without it. It is a mental state no matter what it is and needs to be treated. Psychology is a science,Evolve Dammit! Life goes on new things are found out and discoverd. I has to happen for 100 years til you recongnize it.-Ericcia

Comment: Being a heroin addict myself i feel like i fully understand addiction and what it is.. and sexual addiction is no different than any other addiction. i have nrespect fer david too. most addicts wont send themselves to rehab.. most have to be sent there by the courts or somthing of that nature. This is because as bad as most addicts want help, they also dont want help. See, they do but before they even get anywhere, or by the time there in the waiting room at the rehab their addiction comes back and bites them -- they get this feeling this sense of NEED like if they dont get it theyll die. Thats how i used to be. "i need it.. its okay if i steal this, whatever she doesnt need it anyway i do, and thats what she gets fer being a shitty parent" than after i fullfilled my need i felt so bad. with everytime i got high i felt like i took another nblow from addiction and my family was one step farther gone from me. "why did i do that? oh god why??? *** shes gunna kill me what am i doing with myself?" So for those of you saying addictions a cruch, or excuse. WHATEVER. I know addicts give alot of excuses.. hah. and always put the blame sumwhere else but honestly. think how of you would feel if you and your own life were really THAT out of control. Thats a SAD state of afffairs. Imagine having to go through that. I mean i know its hard on the family.. and im not undermining that pain at all. but give us a break. do you know what its like for the addict?

Comment: Being a heroin addict i understand addiction quite well i believe.. It isnt just an ego thing the ego just sort of comes with it after awhile.. especially once you really push everyone out of yer life with the addiction. you have to have an ego as sort of a shell or extierior. and as fer that other comment bashing on addicts. i know how addiction messes with families. they start to hate you and your excuses. but addiction isnt just a cruch. its very real. and very hard for the addict to go through as well. I mean imagine feeling like you need somthing at all costs.. even if it ruins yer life, you'll die with out it. thats the state of mind addicts get in. " i need it i need it.. ill do whatever" than after going "omg omg omg.. my moms gunna kill me... why did i do that? whyy? it wasnt even worth it." Imagine that. imagine losing everyone you have cuz their all pissed. Jus Sit fer a sec. and focus on what life must be like to be so out of control.

Comment: So in essence, I have all the respect for David Duchovny for seeking treatment. It is absolute HELL to live with a person like this. One thing this article fails to mention is TRUST. If it means anything to you, to your loved one, to your spouse, to your children, to your friends, to your family, think twice. Trust is vital and once lost, maybe impossible to regain... for sure never the same. Second thing is for all you Dad's of daughters out there... every time you masturbate to a sick porno online, to a dirty magazine, to a twisted photograph of some young girl in your favorite position, just remember... She's someones daughter.... hmmmm

Comment: sexual addiction? Nope! Like I told our counselor (we meaning mine and my EX HUSBANDS) while in treatment for his disgusting creepy sex obsession.... I hat the word addiction because it's like a crutch for them. They are already pros at blaming their actions on everyone else and the word addiction is a loophole for them to say, "I'm Sick, I can't help it"! Nope! Sexual Deviance.. Sexual Obsession..SEXUAL POSSESSION!

Comment: I am a love addict and it is about ego, attention & control. It does affect your focus and takes your attention away from work or family issues. It is an escape and natural high as you play the game and receive gratification from a posted love song and respond with a written love poem....The feelings are intense and very real...my muse is a love interest who has just remained a distant friend; who travels in the same artistic circle as me. I have a natural sex drive and do wish to have sex with him and even a relationship, but he also has issues and has never married. I do not regret pursuing him and realize it is just a fantasy that will never come to fruition.

Comment: I read rhis article with great deal of intrest. Main thing I was looking for from article is am I addicted to it or not? Some of the clue or traits have been explain in article which I can relate to my life. I have fairley 'open' relationship in my marraige. After 20+ years of marraige, we still have sex 4-5 times a week. However, i also have been involved with others as loving/carring relationship and not so much of sexual intercourse only. Last two partner whom I have involved - both started as being in love with them while I continuosly loved my wife. Slowly but surely, my affaire lead to having sex. Currently, I do engaged twice a week with my other love and atleast 4 times with my wife. I also have strongly believed in that 'one should never buy sexual pleasure' With this thought, I do not go to any redzone area nor strip club nor watch any porn that cost me penny or more. Occationally, I will watch free stuff on net in presents of my wife. She has no objection whatsoever. Sometime if scene look ot of norm, I will share with her - no problem I have always been facinated with human body and always read up or checkout anything that deal with sexuall matter.

Am I addicted to sex as this article explain?

Comment: "I think my wife hates sex, if I don't innitiate it, it does not happen, and I want to be loved and wanted just like anybody else. She even tells me that she could probably go a whole year w/o doing anything. This behavior pushes me in the direction of porn, my way of taking care of me w/o cheating and the amazing thing about that is when she has caught me looking at it, she gets mad and says that it is like i'm cheating on her."
Hah!!! This is the commonest excuse men/women use to view porn or cheat on their spouse, instead of acknowledging that they are sex maniacs. Somewhere in their conscious/subconscious mind they know that their sex obsession is abnormal. By blaming their spouse, they are putting the onus of their so-called ???illness??? on the disinterestedness of their spouse. This obsession/addiction needs to be treated, because many of them are serial rapists/molesters/pedophiles/killers, as this is a psychopathic personality. One treatment would be to bobbit these maniacs. Anything addiction that harms another creature should be treated as a crime and they should be put to sleep. If this is treated as insanity, they should be put away for the rest of their life, without access to sex. They can do whatever they want to themselves, at least others will be safe. Just like we put animals exhibiting undesirable traits to sleep, why are we not doing this with the aberrant humans? Who gave us the right to kill ???aggressive??? animals, fool around with selective breeding in animals, and eliminate unwanted breeds?? How come the same does not apply to sick, utterly sick, humans???

  Comment: this is your probleme you think haveing sex with your wife or anyone else is going to let you feel loved and wanted by those people , you are wrong using sex to feel that way. you need to love yourself first before you are able to feel the love and the wanting of others. you have a much an emotional problemes that you have to deal with . that is how my ex husband felt , and with thearpy and rehab the truth behined his feelings and behavior came to reality and he is dealing with a lot of emotional problemes and issues from this past and is where you need to look inorder for you to know how to heal youself

  Comment: You're the sick one. Get a life. Accept the fact that there is variability in human needs for sex. If one doesn't like it and the other does... problem. If both don't like it.... no problem. If both are sex addicts for each other... no problem. If one denies her spouse food and water, you'd (I hope) figure that was wrong. Well, guess what, it's the same for those with the particular need called sex.

    Comment: In reply to naturesboy???s comment:
    You ARE right on one thing though - sex obsessed people are made for each other and deserve each other...
    Yet, sex maniacs never marry sex obsessed women. They marry ???virgins??? and ???nice??? girls and later expect them to turn into sex addicts, which aint gonna happen. Everything in this world is about is abusing others by calling this a ???need??? and treating it as natural (or a part of ???nature???, as your name suggests). For such people, being a sex maniac is a most ???natural??? occurrence.
    Just let the non-sex-maniacs live peacefully, without molesting, raping, abusing, murdering, pedophile-ing, etc. them.
    These sadly ???sex deprived??? people would gladly use their own mothers, sisters, wives, mistresses, own children, friends and acquaintances. Its the sex-mania that motivates them to forge ???acquaintances???. And don???t we keep hearing about psychos who attack babies, senior citizens, mentally and physically challenged women and kids. That is what I am talking about. Sex obsessed people will find words to justify their sex obsession, after all, for them it???s the only thing, THE ???natural??? thing.
    In fact, most of the attacks and murders that occur at home are due to sex - in the name of sex deprivation, infidelity, abuse, battering, rape of wife/kids. In fact, sex is the ROOT OF ALL EVIL. Go figure???

    Comment: Stop using the excuse "I am not getting enough sex from my spouse which is why I am forced to cheat and view porn" Literally, this statement means only 1 thing - he is not getting sex whenever he wants it, or more accurately, not getting it all the time. Variability in human life does not mean screwing up the lives of their wives and kids. The people who marry for sex are the ones who are sick. Almost every sex-addicted-male-of-the-human-species gives the excuse that they married for sex when (and if) they are caught cheating. It is not rocket science that sex maniacs will see ME as ???the sick one???. Its just like you to think that sex-maniacs are not sick, after all you are a ???naturesboy???. Sorry to disappoint you, but I don???t care what you think about my opinions, and lemme tell ya, I have a marvelously sex free life, one most liberated and peaceful.

    Comment: YOU need to get a proper perspective on life, sex is not ???food??? or ???water??? - those are BASIC needs, one cant do without ???em, while sex is a LESS BASIC need. The way you have portrayed the situation, one would think that the ???sex-deprived??? spouse would die even if he got food and water. Suggestion - lock these ???sex-deprived??? maniacs in a room without food and water and let them have as much sex as they possibly can, or at least till they no longer feel ???sex-deprived???. They???d love that, and wouldn???t mind really dying, I have actually heard such sex-maniacs say that to die during the sex act would be the BEST way to DIE and that they die the happiest then.

Comment: Regarding bobhughes2022 comment - ???Futhermore, the "attacks journalism" our national press expresses (not reports), from a hypocriticle moral posture, makes even more difficult for most men to come forth with this addiction. I believe this disorder is more wide spread than most think.???
Guess what bob?!! This disorder IS the most widespread disease on this planet, why do ya think AIDS is spreading at the rate it is??? And if you think this addiction is being misrepresented based on ???hypocritical moral posture??? we could go ahead and let people kill each other as well. That???s what this kind of disease leads to anyway, only the killer is AIDS. We have these morals to lead civilized lives instead of living like animals.

Comment: When it come to regular physiological needs no one can define what is normal and what is not, so to say that having 40 multiple sexual relationships is unhealthy or not normal is not scientifically sound and cannot be supported by any methodology. That is the main reason sexual "addiction" does not exist in any serious psychiatric book, unlike what the author suggests. If a person is single and healthy, who is to define how many relationships or how many sexual encounters a day is normal, and how is this to be defined? Any number would have to be completely random, and the only thing we can look at is statistics, which has no meaning in this matter. To a single person who has one partner every two years, and have sex with them 2 times a week, having 12 partners a year and having sex with them 5 times a week may seem excessive and unhealthy, however to a person who has 20 partners a year and have sex with them 2 times a day, it may seem very modest. The point is, when it comes to human sexuality every human is different, and normal cannot be defined as a measure over the entire population. As Ufillinme points out, when you do not have your needs satisfied by your partner, some people turn to porn, and in my personal opinion there is nothing wrong with that as a temporary measure. Evolutionary our sexual drive is one of the most potent forces embedded in us, next only to the survival instinct, and trying to repress it artificially brings nothing good. If a given relationship is sexually dissatisfying, a person should not seek sexual "addiction" treatments, but rather marriage (or couples) counseling, and if all efforts are made and the problem is still not resolved, than people should consider parting their ways. It is better than cheating, which will probably lead to the same result, although more painfully, and it is better than living in an sexually unsatisfactory relationship. We only live once, and we should make the most of it.

  Comment: I am a widower, have had bypass surgery on my heart, 1 heart attack and an amputated leg due to diabetes. Also ready for kidney dialysis. I have been impotent for about 8 years. I have a lady friend who is also a widow. I also have a married lady on the side. I absolutely adore a womans body and thanks to my impotence, I enjoy a womans body much more than when I wasn't impotent. My greatest pleasure is bringing pleasure to my partner through manual manipulation and oral sex. That satisfies me and I am an addict of sex.

  Comment: As long as their are bones in your fingers you could still enjoy sex. It really is about giving and receiving.
  They take the clitoris outta little girls in Africa, but they can't take the human out of us. And neither can a soft penis. Most woman prefer outside stimulation anyway! Get with the program and start living again.
  Buy a vibrator and pleasure your partner. Smile :>

Comment: My relationship with my husband and his relationship with our children have been destroyed by his sexual betrayals. For years he has lived a dual life establishing sexual contacts with other married women all the while representing himself as a devoted and respectable husband, father, son and leader in our religious community. I don't see his sexual contacts as an addiction. I see his behavior as a part of his narcasistic personality. He seeks sex out as a way to validate himself as a man. He needs the attention above all else.

Comment: I kinda have to disagree w/ Johnsmith1972. A single guy having 40 multiple sexual relationships is not normal or healthy. I'd also like to point out that when a person says sexual addition, this is anything pertaining to sex. As embarrassing as it is, I have a problem w/ wanting sex all the time, even when I don't want it. I almost feel like anytime my wife and I are laying in the bed and the kids are at school or asleep, it's time to get busy, but I am always met with a lot of opposition. I think my wife hates sex, if I don't innitiate it, it does not happen, and I want to be loved and wanted just like anybody else. She even tells me that she could probably go a whole year w/o doing anything. This behavior pushes me in the direction of porn, my way of taking care of me w/o cheating and the amazing thing about that is when she has caught me looking at it, she gets mad and says that it is like i'm cheating on her. Porn is very addictive and becomes extremely unhealthy when you can't control yourself. When I look at porn, I normally feel the need to (Ejak) to almost every scene and different positions, during a 2 hour session, I may - - - about 7 to 10 times sometimes even 20 times. It even gets to the point where I am empty and nothing comes out. I have even told my wife that I feel like this is a problem, and I don't like doing it anymore. This info goes in one ear and out the other. Some negative symptoms are going from an extreme high, to an extreme low, fatigue, headaches,weakness and soreness. I am dealing with this through the help of God, I know that he can fix anything. I also hope that this might have helped someone else.

Comment: David Duchovny's character Fox Mulder on the X-Files was very much into pornography. I wonder if David suggested that be a part of his character or if the writers of the X-Files just created that out of thin air?

Heroin bottleThe term "addiction" is used in many contexts to describe an obsession, compulsion, or excessive physical dependence, such as: drug addiction, alcoholism, compulsive overeating, problem gambling, computer addiction, etc.

In medical terminology, addiction is a state in which the body relies on a substance for normal functioning and develops physical dependence, as in drug addiction. When the drug or substance on which someone is dependent is suddenly removed, it will cause withdrawal, a characteristic set of signs and symptoms. Addiction is generally associated with increased drug tolerance. In physiological terms, addiction is not necessarily associated with substance abuse since this form of addiction can result from using medication as prescribed by a doctor.

However, common usage of the term addiction has spread to include psychological dependence. In this context, the term is used in drug addiction and substance abuse problems, but also refers to behaviours that are not generally recognised by the medical community as problems of addiction, such as compulsive overeating.

The term addiction is also sometimes applied to compulsions that are not substance-related, such as problem gambling and computer addiction. In these kinds of common usuages, the term addiction is used to describe a recurring compulsion by an individual to engage in some specific activity, despite harmful consequences to the individual's health, mental state or social life.

Comment: I guess there's no end to the evolution of human needs.
Posted By: johnsmith1972 @ 09/05/2008 1:39:58 AM

Comment: There cannot be an addiction to something that is a normal part of human behavior, because we cannot define what is normal "quantity" of sex that an individual needs. Some athletes for example are on a diet of 9000 calories per day, which would be extremely excessive for non-athletes, but perfect for Olympians. Similarly, having sex with 40 different partners at a time may be normal for some, and excessive for others, however it cannot be labeled "addiction." If we accept the notion of sex "addiction", than any normal human function can be labeled as "addiction", such as communication with other people (although such people can certainly be boring, nagging and generally a nuisance) for example. Can we discuss "addiction" to talking then? Generally, the notion of sex "addiction" is an invention of the religious activists, who are trying to ostracize behavior they find sinful as being not normal, and furthermore creating the notion of such "addiction" fuels their fight with perfectly legal, but sinful from their perspective, activities, such as pornography and promiscuity for example. Obviously from their point of view, if they can make "sex addiction" similar to drug addiction, than they can try to make illegal the causes for such "addiction" illegal, the same way drugs are illegal. However, drug addiction and alcoholism can physically destroy your body, while sex "addiction" cannot harm human's body in any way. One can argue the emotional repercussions, however they are relative and cannot be categorized: for example having multiple sexual relationships is perfectly normal for a single person while devastating for a married person, but that's a whole separate subject.

Comment: I have always like David Duchovny. I am glad he has made public that he is getting help for his addiction and that is IS an addiction. I worry a lot about young people (teens and pre-teens) who are getting into this. It will make developing healthy, honest intimacy with a partner so much more difficult. Our culture has focused so much on sex that it has come down to turning people into things and how you can use them. We are so much more than that.

Comment: I have always liked David Duchovny and was sad to hear of his addiction. I am glad he is open about getting help and that he IS getting help. There is so much more of this in our culture than is talked about. It is rampant now with computer sex so available. I worry most about teens who will be stunted in their ability to develop healthy, open intimacy with a partner due to their obsessive fantasy lives.

Comment: To ll99,

Don't you think it is a little unjustified, and steroptypical to say, "Obviously, it is ALWAYS the MAN because he is the weaker sex..." It is not ALWAYS the MAN, sa this is even stated in the article, "Male and female sex addicts are pretty much the same." (page 1, paragraph 5) I am curious, why is it that you would go so far out on a limb to accuse just the men, and men alone, when it is a known FACT that not all men are "the weaker sex"? If it is true that men are the waeker sex, then how have I manages to maintain my virginity for 21 years now, when there are women who have thrown theirs away as early as 14 years? Before you go and attack a specific group like that (aka, be stereotypical), make sure you are speaking truth and not what you want to claim, because there will always be someone out there to call you out on the lie.

Comment: Every Psychologist and Psychiatrist would treat the sex addict with brutally abusing and physical torturously of very enduring painful and often with injection of what they called it putting you in calm down and it is what one would called it half death and half alive. In other word they use the invincible way of whipping and lashes against the sex compulsive and attraction to affection and nakeness exposure patient. I am warning about to keep up the safeties and behind locked door they tend to do there own wars in every wards. What did the police do to Mr. King in Los Angelas, the cops beat him up with baton because he likes sex! As it did appeared on television and Mr. King shied away from his sex desire.

Comment: MEN, ask Yourselves why you arent getting the sex you need from your spouse/partner? a long time ago, men did things for their partners, took them to dinner, helped around the house, helped with the kids, bought them something special, etc. So If youre trying to get sex at midnight after your spouse has got the kids off to school, went to work for 8 hours, picked the kids up, went to the grocery store, made the dinner, washed the dishes, cleaned the kitchen, washed the clothes, fed the dog, taken out the trash, and put the kids to bed maybe YOU need to do something different. It would be really great if sex was something other than just one more 'job' for us to perform in the course of a dayl
And to: I've been looking at porn for 15 hours straight.
If you sleep for 8 and look at porn for 15, When the hell do you work?? Get a JOB for christs sake!! Youll be surprised how much time it occupies!!

Comment: Addiction is addiction whether its sex , drugs, porn, shopping,,negativity, its all part of the addictive system to keep us enslaved and believing that we are separate beings on this great planet...as long as we believe we are separate we will continue to feel incomplete and in need of something to satiate an appetite that feels constant lack, loneliness, separateness, self hatred, etc. And when we are addicted we think we are feeling more but in reality we are creating an illusion and covering up the real feelings of isolation. I dont see why people have such a hard time understanding sex addiction. In my experience,,,self love, support groups whether they are 12 step, spiritual, therapy....and getting in touch with that higher power that is within all of us..we are not separate..we are all connected..we all suffer,,,we all do stupid things and abuse in some way..no one is exempt..but self love and complete self acceptance is the only way to freedom..but you have to want it and care for it the way you care for a newborn child..tenderly . That is how I am breaking free....that is what worked for me and I know for countless others who are part of 12 step programs, spiritual communities, etc..find you path to freedom..it is possible..and we are here to experience joy and be happy...and we dont have to be slaves and addicts forerver....peace and blessings

Comment: As long as a person continues to believe that happiness comes from the outside there will be addiction I dont understand why sex addiction is viewed different than any other addiction. It may sound cliche and like a self help novel but happiness only comes from within..and so what do addicts do about it.....I have found the only way out of addiction is through support through God..and support groups...so you dont feel like such a freak...millions apon milllions of people suffer from addiction. SElf love and acceptance is the only way to freedom...but its a tough path...and requires vigilance and support. Ask any addict....We are here on this planet to do more than consume and take..we are here to give..and then sex can be returned to a joyful act...like anything else we enjoy but it requires consciousness..and awakeness and care...be well

Comment: unless you've been there you have no idea about the pain and torture involved in this disorder. the best way to describe it is to say: it's like having the most intensive itch you have ever had, you scratch and scratch and scratch without relief, there is no way to satiate the itch, you just bleed to death unless you engage in sex and even then there is no relief. i know, i was there, today i'm sober but tomorrow, i don't know.

Comment: Why in the world does anyone besides Duchovny, his wife and his therapist need to know this? It's amazing how the ease of information dispensing in our time seems to often rule out common sense and propriety. And don't anyone say it's a good thing because it may help someone else going through the same thing. There's a greater good that overrides even that - like thinking of his kids (or their friends) who will someday read this drivel on the internet instead of learning it (or NOT) from their parents at the time of their choice. Susanna Schrobsdorff and her editor should have had the decency to say "NO!" to this "Newsweek Web Exclusive. Once again, it's all about the dollar.

Comment: To grndhg00: Yes, blame everything on women, it's there fault for not putting out that you have an addiction. Typical male thinking. Rather than find someone else to blame for your problem, why don't you come to the fact that's it's solely your problem and no one else's. Women are not there just to be your sex toys. It's your fault that you can't control you addiction, not any woman who refused to put out for you. Women have the right to choose when to have sex, and it's not their responsibility is you have a problem with it
