So I woke up this morning, got out of bed and immediately had to hug the door jamb to keep myself from falling over, I was so dizzy. Then came the nausea. Blargh.

I also think that it's because people don't see the harm in it. I mean, people get the downside of gambling, but what's the harm in having lots of sex?

Happy Birthday to Beverley and Benno!

what's the harm in having lots of sex?

They should ask Mrs. Woods. Or Tea Leoni. Or Tiger or David, for whom I assume it's driven home now.

You spend too much time doing anything, it can drive down the quality of your life, no matter how much fun it is. And that effect percolates out to the people in your life.

The thing that impressed me about his speech was he admitted he had felt entitled.

Begin shallow snap judgment.

Here's, actually, where I don't see that it is sexual addiction. Because isn't sexual addiction, like gambling, or any other destructive behavior, the outlet but not actually what you're treated for in therapy? That is, you're a sexual addict because it's a result of underlying depression or some other mental health issue.

If you're a sexual addict because the underlying problem is you think you're entitled then in my mind you're an ass.

End of shallow snap judgment!

Tickle Cock Bridge returned to original name after row

A Victorian landmark has been recognised by its traditional risqué name after locals were offended by a council’s politically correct alternative.

If you're a sexual addict because the underlying problem is you think you're entitled then in my mind you're an ass.

Well, it can be part of the problem without being the underlying issue. It's a common rationalization for all kinds of addictions - I work hard/am so talented/whatever justification that I deserve this pleasure whatever the cost.

I haven't been following the Tiger Woods story, so I have no idea if that applies to him, but can see how it might.

well, asses are addicts quite frequently...Tommy Gavin on "Rescue Me" always acts like he has special rules, with or without vodka in his hand. And I hate to sound like one of those people who try to win arguments acting like Ally McBeal was a real person, but I'm not that swift today.

I think it is more the "rehab" than the sex addiction that makes me giggle a bit. Both because I associate it with physical withdrawal symptoms, but also because I associate it with sort of physical/role playing kinds of activities all in a group environment. Which doesn't really seem good for the sex addicted. I mean, rehab removes the user from the alcohol, drugs, even gambling, but being enclosed with a group of people who also are sex addicted doesn't seem to be a good way to cure them of that addiction.

Now I have this image of a gambling addiction rehab group making bets on who is going to bed with who in the sex addiction rehab group.
