Quoted:
I have a friend that has been diagnosed as a sex addict. When he was at his worst he would literally hit on every Asian girl he could, and would interpret anything as flirting. It was unreal. I think at one point he had 4 girlfriends too.

What’s your point? Was that wrong?

I think it sounds pretty awesome myself.

I wonder if chicks at Sex Addicts Anonymous meetings are totally down to fuck in the parking lot.

Sure, if you think the all consuming emptiness that disassociated him from reality, caused him to seek dangerous and unhealthy relationships, interfered with all of his friendships, interfered with his jobs, led him to abuse drugs and alcohol, and led him to turn his body into a carving board, is awesome then have at it.

When I worked at bars I had a lot of friends and coworkers bang many a skank, this was something completely different.

Well, when you put it like that...

It's kind of like when someone says they have OCD because they have some odd behavior. That is not OCD, true OCD is something qualitatively and quantitatively different.

"Sex addiction" is a disease inasmuch as "lack of self-control" is a disease.

So the answer is "no".

If you're not gay, an IV drug user, or black, your chances of getting HIV are astronomically small.

It’s a terrible disease. I’ve had it since I was 14 or so, and hope to continue suffering from the affliction until I’m about 80, at which time I will die happily of a heart attack under two blonde 20-something escorts.

Eta: I guess the best serious answer I can give is “maybe”. Addiction is not simply liking something a lot; It’s liking something a lot (or maybe even not liking it that much) and continuing to do it even though you know it will have significant negative effects in your life. It depends on the individual circumstances.

Sexual behavior is compulsive, its not an addiction. The term addiction has been overused to encompass anything someone does "too much of" that causes problems in their life that they do not wish to take responsibility. The DSM5 does not use the term "addiction" they label it a "Use Disorder."

I provide mental health treatment for sex offenders, getting them to understand that its NOT an addiction is Day 1 stuff.

Its not labeled an addiction in the DSM5. Its called Binge Eating Disorder.

A disease is: an abnormal condition that negatively affects a part or all of an organism, and that is not due to any external injury.
So, yeah, if someone is mentally addicted to sex, then it would qualify as a disease, much like drug addiction does. Being crazy is a disease.

Someone mentioned binge eating, that's why I mentioned the above. Its still compulsive behavior. Your body wont go into withdrawal if you don't stuff your face for a meal. You might feel anxious, but that's due to the compulsive cycle of the behavior and a significant contributing factor to the problematic behavior in the first place.

Sign me up. My wife has stated on several occasions that I am an addict.

She would be content with once a week whereas I am once a day.

We sat down one time and had a long discussion about this and when I finished explaining my needs our frequency increased to almost daily

In fact, when we got up at 0530 she said how about we go back to bed after the oldest leaves for school. We'll have about 30 minutes

If I'm lucky we will fool around again tonight when I get home from Boy Scouts

Fixed it for you. HIV rates among IV drug users and African Americans have become very remote. Today HIV is almost exclusively a homosexual male problem.

Anything that provides a natural (or unnatural) high can be addictive to a person that does not posses the self-discipline to moderate the behavior.

It's a bullshit excuse for the guy or gal that gets caught with their pants down or ruins their life because they can't stop chasing the high. It's no more a disease than the fact that my love of potatoes in fried form makes me fat. Sex feels great. Sex with someone new is exciting and feels good. Very easy to ruin your life chasing that if you allow yourself to indulge in it inappropriately.

Go to your employer and demand a masturbation facility for all employees.

As a minimum it should have tasteful decor, quiet surroundings, appropriate imagery, and individual privacy should be available if desired, if not a group facility shouod be provided.

Seek out some kind of government assistance with establishing such a facility.
