Although I feel this article slants to a more dismal description of rehab, the jest is a realistic depiction of the futility of sex addiction. Yes it is true, just as with a chemical addiction, the mind becomes hi-jacked and there is no stopping, each time wanting and needing that bigger and better high.

Aren’t we all addicted to sex?

I recently heard this remark. Not sure if they were joking or serious. I think the best way to approach this question is to ask what constitutes an addiction. Merriam Webster defines addiction as: The compulsive need for and use of a habit forming substance (as heroin, nicotine, or alcohol) characterized by tolerance and by well-defined physiological symptoms upon withdrawal; broadly: persistent compulsive use of a substance known by the user to be harmful. With regard to sexual addiction, I have heard several definitions, but I deferred to Patrick Carnes and his explanation. “Sexual addiction is defined as any sexually-related, … Read More >>>
