…..I have refrained from writing on this subject for quite some time, but enough is enough! Tiger Woods and Jesse James, the examples of the hour, have left little to be said for their behavior, yet they have managed to dupe their wives, fans, and the reading public into thinking that their behaviors is excusable by utilizing one simple word…. sex addiction. While not a big fan of rehabs, I am appalled to see that one can be treated for such a …. condition?!?
However, I am realizing that this new fad of blaming adultery on a disability of sorts may be playing in all our favors. If I may have previously held back when presented with the opportunity of falling into the arms of one other than the one I am committed to, I no longer have to sacrifice the moments of pleasure possibly offered by a handsome stranger. Not only can I now justify this behavior to my self, but if I am caught, I can easily spit the term “sex addict” from my lips into the face of my lover and expect something greater than immediate forgiveness, I can expect sympathy, a hug, and a drive to the nearest rehab.
Have we all gone mad? Magazines on every newsstand are filled with delicious details of male indiscretions and its affect on their families, but all I am seeing is a terrible trend. I don’t argue that sex addiction exists as I am sure some are greatly affected by it, but I am quite sure that everyone claiming the disability isn’t actually affected by it. If we accept sex addiction as a legible excuse that can be utilized to save one’s ass, then we will have to soon agree to much more than an excused affair and a quick trip to a treatment facility……
What do you say?
