food for thought
I think you're right about frigidity being more common. But I don't think it's the opposite of sex addiction. It's got to be more common for women be that way than men, don't you think?
Every woman's magazine has this garbage in it about 'your right to say no'. The problem with that is it shouldn't apply to married women or commited partners. Feminism has turned sex into a reward that women bestow on men in some sort power game. What the heck does a marriage mean to people like that? 'Give of myself when I don't want to? But that's letting him control me!!' Ironic that the movement that helped so many guys "get lucky" is now responsible for them not gettin' it.
I'm outa here- there 30 bra-less hags outside my door trying to break in and kill me...

Why do we not...
talk about the opposited, people who are (for want of a better term) asexual addicts. Depriving their partners of proper sexual contact because somehow the holines of saying no is regarded somehow sacred, when it severely tramps on the feeling of a partner? It is just as unhealthy and certainly alters life styles (most notably when divorce results). For every story of "sexual addiction" I want to see a story of "frigidity addiction" and soon you would see that is a far larger problem.

yes, I think it's possible to be addicted to sex
it feels good and it temporarily numbs pain, physical and emotional. It has a place, however, like a glass or two of fine wine. You savor it and enjoy it with someone. It's much better than a jug of Carlo Rossi all by yourself.
I think sexual addiction can stem from a simple desire to numb oneself. I think people who carry around a lot of emotional pain are more prone to it. For those, sex is a feel-good fix.
Good post.
