I am not sure I like the whole Sex Addiction diagnosis. Maybe it exists, maybe not. I am not a psychologist or therapist. I couldn’t say whether it was a legit diagnosis or not. What I do know is now I am seeing more people blaming one’s actions on an addiction and not on the person. It is starting to sounds a lot like a scapegoat for one’s actions.
From Bill Clinton to Eric Benet to Charlie Sheen to Colin Farrell, blah, blah, blah and now Tiger Woods, many have had a label slapped on explaining their “transgressions.” Not all have admitted having a sex addiction. In most cases, the media and “contributing experts” have helped give an on air diagnosis. I have no idea whether they have a sex addiction and quite frankly don’t care. However, I don’t like the idea that one cannot help themselves or that it’s not their fault they slept around on their wife or significant other because they suffer from a sex addiction. They had a choice and made the wrong one. Pay the consequences and don’t expect much sympathy from me.
Addiction is addiction, and sadly it exists and a sex addiction really is no different than a heroine addiction or an addiction to alcohol. Though truthfully, no matter what the vice, personal accountability is always the kicker. Can you be a sex addict and not cheat on your significant other… hells yeah, that’s called monogamy. Can you e-mail your “F Buddy” telling them you love them and you wish you had found them sooner and then say “but, I’m a sex addict!” – nope! I wish Tiger wanted my sympathy… I could do with a million in hush money
Famous person + penis = Thinks he can get away with it
Famous person + vagina = Thinks she can get away with it.
Guys aren’t the only ones that cheat.
