In response to "I actually think the whole idea of a clinic is a sham." by groiny

I don't go that far.....

I think there's a small group of people who can't live their lives due to this type of behavior but it's not many and Tigger ain't one.

See, I'd say, if you have a baby at home who you (presumably) love and aren't processing the consequences of your actions might include losing access - TFox Jan 20, 08:41 7

  - The difference is whether it's a compulsive behavior. Yes, people screw up, ignore consequences, etc. and they too have issues to deal with. But it - pmb Jan 20, 08:49
  - yes, it is. but see, where i guess i'm going is, saying "i'm a sex addict" doesn't equate to "now i am not responsible for what i did". - TFox Jan 20, 08:46 4
    - If that's his realization, I think he attends couples/marriage therapy.....not "I can't help but desire sexual gratification" therapy. - Will Hunting Jan 20, 08:47 3
      - my biggest fear of getting married was that I was going to be able to be with only her. - groiny Jan 20, 08:51
      - it seems like it's too late for that, because Elin didn't want to. which, you know, good call for her, probably. - TFox Jan 20, 08:49

I am not sold on the "addiction" part of it. - groiny Jan 20, 08:40 10
- Oh yeah...a lot of them and I don't include them in the group who 'need' targeted help like this. - Will Hunting Jan 20, 08:44 3
  - there's usually other problems going on as well, if it's an actual addiction. -- nm - znufrii Jan 20, 08:47 2
    - Word. Now, if he was taking a "potty break" on the 15th green...I might agree that he has an addiction. :) -- nm - Jim Jan 20, 08:48 1
      - Exactly. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 20, 08:49

  - ok, sure, but then why are we sure he isn't either? -- nm - TFox Jan 20, 08:42 1

- You need to watch that Dr. Drew show. -- nm - pmb Jan 20, 08:41 2
  - again, they have behaviour issues. not an actual "addiction" - groiny Jan 20, 08:44 1
    - It's a compulsive behavior. If you're hung up on the word "addiction" that's fine, but it isn't any less of a significant problem. - pmb Jan 20, 08:47
