That sex is an addiction and it can be cured by attending sex rehab centers, man oh man I was sick and didn’t know it, thanks Tiger Wood, thanks Jessie James now I finally know what has been afflicting me since puberty.

I am a bit perplexed though, does the scourge of sex symptom manifest itself when having a lot of sex with your spouse or when having a lot of sex with several partners, does the disease strike singles or you have to be married with money to catch the dreaded sex disease?

I wonder if Health care insurance covers that, if they do I can't be turned down for Pre-existing conditions.

Got to love public relation firms.

Sorry for the outburst TMBS (Too Much Bull sht) gets me cranky

Nav. watch now that Tiger did it all the famous people are gonna go out and screw everyone they can and when they get caught they will say it is an addiction honey I am sick. Then they go to rehab and their spouse forgives them. LMFAO!

TMBS yeah that's the ticket.

I see folks trying to learn new behaviors when the old ones were destructive... I do not see spousal forgiveness in either of the celebrity cases mentioned.

Addiction is when the organ that governs behavior (your brain) learns destructive habits that have physical "reward stimuli". So yes, I'm sure someone could get addicted to the post orgasmic glow if they had it 30 days in a row.

Depending on that individuals will power and libido, as well as the intensity at which the "glow" was felt... it could be hard to "break" said "habit".

Eating has its rewards (neural stimuli) and its stronger for some folks than others. Smoking is more than a "bad habit", but some folks have less problem quitting than others. Coffee, Sugar, Cocaine... hell, I knew a guy that worked at a semi truck repair shop, when he quit he had headaches for a week because he was "addicted" to the fumes.

As for "should" mental or physical addictions be covered under health care, I say sure. Add Dental to it as well.

But be sure to have consequences and freedom of choice. Let folks who insist on smoking proceed with FACTS, and fully aware of the consequences and additional tax burdens on the products they abuse.

Ideally with Sex addicts they should find a mate with a high libido and open mind. Maybe some of these folks are just CLAIMING sex addiction to try and mitigate the consequences from bad decision making.

In the end shame on the media for picking this to call news, and shame on us for passing judgment when we have fewer clues to the mystery than Scrappy Doo.

Perhaps they have no strength of character?

I had to accept responsibility for my behaving like a damn whore and clean up my act.

I had to accept responsibility for my cocaine addiction screwing up my life and quit.

When a man falls of his horse he has to get up dust himself off and get back on ( or not as the case may be )

Hiding stupidity behind a phony diagnosis is just more stupidity.

Take your lumps like a man and bleed in silence.

Anyone 4 T

Will Power is a factor... lots of factors figure into the equation, no one answer is going to fit every different person. If I give someone poor quality cocaine several times in a row, it will give them a false opinion of the folks hooked on the good stuff too, right? Cocaine isn't sold at convenience stores, so it really is "easier" to break that habit than Ciggs, in some ways. Social Acceptance is a big factor... if its cool to be a whore, you have to play the role to succeed right?

I happen to personally agree with you, my strength of Character has overcome everything I have properly applied it to. I do not lack the will, but rather the discipline to apply it correctly in every case.

But I also know that every time I judge the world by the standard I judge myself, I am disappointed.

No shame in being a strong man, no shame in asking for help if you need it. It's what Brotherhood and Civilization are supposed to be about.

Well worded Dewy.
Environment is a big factor indeed as is moral support from one's peers.
Often one must change his environment ( and his peers ) to succeed in making major lifestyle adjustments.
I am a big believer in one's "will" and have always equated "will" with "discipline" or as taught an "unyielding intent"
I like the way you dram analogy of having "discipline" to apply "will" as separate but equal factors.
This is something I'll have to ponder.

Often one must change his environment ( and his peers ) to succeed in making major lifestyle adjustments.

Amen Brother Sans, The Change must be realized both inside of one, and then outside to be real. Then it must last to prove to be change.

My Quitting smoking has been premeditated, waiting on better weather. Now we will shift smoking to outside only and with some of my agitation I will wash the walls next week and we will all enjoy the benefit of a cleaner house.

A Change inside of me, and a a change of the environment.

You got it JH by laughing you are taking this PR nonsense in the right spirit, that what my original post was about to satirize this feeble attempt to shift the blame of adultery to some fictitious element.

BWT thanks for the kind words bro, long before I signed on I had already enjoyed your music including the video, good playing had to listen to it twice.

The Scientologists would say Tiger's developed some harmful engrams.

A Buddhist would say he stepped off the path to enlightenment.

The Christian would say he's sinned.

Some ppl want to see him castrated, while others think he has sexual powers beyond most ppl.

The psychiatrists say he is an addict, & probably needs drugs to fix his brain.

The sponsors see that he's still in the spotlight over all of this, & those co's with the words "family-oriented" in thier ad campaigns will or have dropped him.

Golfers just wanna see him play.

As for me, I just don't give a good damn. I think he is what he is, & I really don't care one way pr the other about who or what he is until I meet him & deal with him on a personal level, & that isn't likely to happen.

There are other pro golfers who lived the 'rock star' life and NONE of them have ever made the news for their lifestyles, many of which were lived in plain public view.

So why is tiger any different? He isn't. Times changed. Anyone remember the 80's? EEsh, sex was everywhere, I had actually thought we finally got over the stupid fear of sexuality. Wrong. We're WAY too uptight about it, that's for sure.

Yeah, this sorta thing is only a big deal in the oh so "chaste" American society. Makes me sick, frankly, to see ppl berated for it all the time, but Americans in particular seem to be very caught up in the scandals, esp those of a sexual nature.

We advertise sex all the time. We just don't want anyone to participate in it.

We have some really stupid ideals.

Philby you pretty much nailed my thought's on it...
it's called BUSTED PAL!
I got caught and I need an escape from blame!





" I know my sh*t stinks"

He is beyond famous, he is the #1 athlete in the world. That makes him the one with the biggest bulls eye on him. A story that can be stretched and manipulated forever. That means profit. I think the original cause would stem back to the way he was molded and developed and controled by his father. I suspect that dented his way of acting socialy and
personaly. He was probably told of the rewards of being the best and practicing for hours upon hours. In his mind he was just cashing in his ticket and getting what he deserved. This view takes a lot of the blame off him and puts it on his parents. Bad parenting can be blamed for many things around us that happen every day. Imagine having his formulated childhood. Imagine the money, the women, the treatment, the traveling and those that protected him and his behavior. I suspect it was almost druglike. Many will say he's an adult and should have known better but he is an adult with a F**KED - UP MIND. All of us have a mental issue of some degree but his is to the enth degree and fueled by a BILLION DOLLARS. He really didn't have a chance once he became that successful. Failure in some aspect of his life was inevitable.
