I'm surrounded by alcoholics and addicts every single day of my life. Sans my friends here on Derby Trail, every friend I have in my life and hang out with on a daily basis, is either an alcoholic or an addict. Some are both. I don't claim to know and understand everything about how the mind of an addict works, but I do think I understand it a lot more than the average person.

I understand it is all subjective opinion, but for anyone to state with certainty that his "sex addiction" is a cop out or bullsh*t is stating that with a complete lack of knowledge on the inner workings of the mind of an addict.

Fair enough Kev, I respect your insights on this topic immensely and understand what you are trying to say.

The reason the man's world caved in is because he misled these women greatly, and they came back to get a piece of his ass. He seemed to enjoy having a pack of women thinking he was each of them's soul mate. While they shouldn't of done it, they didn't lie to him. He told them some very cruel deceiving lies that kept him "owning" them. He deceived many by telling them he was gunna be with them (in due time, be paradise.) There's some sort of control issues involved. It's not only sex. He's worked their heads over. They didn't come forward to complain he cheated on his wife. They did the same thing. If it was just that, then they would of protected him. I think he needed to work on his apparent addiction to misleading people with lies (in order to get a power high.) See, he was enjoying the power that came from these women being totally "his." The desire to have sex with many women may be normal, but the hi he got from misleading women is sick. Those women wanted the public to know that (that he's cruel.) That's why this got so public.

very much agree..
