But sex with a child is rape and it is child abuse & committing rape of anyone is a psychopathic act in my book
SW-User

"Sex addiction" is made up. If being too sexual is a problem, something else is amiss.
SW-User
lol i guess you dont know that sex addiction is real..

I read that sex addiction is a disorder. People become addicted to sex as if it were drugs in order to try to numb/ forget about a past trauma. It's an addiction when it starts interfering with the ability to work/think/socialize/ do life.

I feel sorry for him then. And you're wrong. I've explained that if someone is having "sex addiction" there's something else wrong. Sex is like eating or going the bathroom; normal parts of life that you can has issues over but not physiological or psychological addiction. To say otherwise is to be clues as to what the words mean and science says. The pro-sex addiction people are either Christians pushing their religions views or people looking to hide behind a fake diagnosis. Find me sex addiction in the DSM.
SW-User
no you are wrong sex isnt like going to the bathroom but it is like food. people have food addictions too. anything can turn into an addiction if you cant understand that than theres no use talking to you as you are very closed minded and know nothing about psychology.

"anything can turn into an addiction "
Nope, that's not how it works.

As for mentally closed, you haven't listened to the segment yet.
SW-User

Faith does not equal science.
SW-User
neither does what some people say
GoldenWorm · 51-55, M
Right, that's why i posted a link to an expert.
SW-User
and since you post quack people who are no better than drug people on tv who clearly have no experience
GoldenWorm · 51-55, M
amazing you can say that without any knowledge about the expert
SW-User
amazing you can post quack post links without knowing a lick of science background
GoldenWorm · 51-55, M
riiight, i'm stepping out. you're asserting quack on no evidence.
