There no such thing as sex addiction, it's just something high priced shrinks made up to increase their income and give celebrities an excuse to act badly. Personally I don't need an excuse like addiction to cover my misdeeds...
I would disagree. I mongered heavily from 2001-2004 and got to the point at which I could not get through the day without a session. I started an active mongering website, organised a group of about 25-30 like-minded (and similarly addicted) guys, and arranged occaasional meet-and-greet cocktail parties with local escorts. The hunt for the next new babe was consuming most of my time, energy, and consciousness. It was an addiction in the sense that I could not break the cycle, and it was crippling my ability to function in real life. It was not, however, an excuse to deny responsibility.
I finally went "cold turkey" for a month and dropped all of my connections. When I inevitably started again, I was careful to try to keep things in control. It's one reason that I am not very active on this board. I fear getting sucked in again. For those of us with addictive personalities, it can be a problem...
Have fun, CGP
