I don't know if I would always go as far as to call it "addiction" but do think many people need to practice more self control. I am rare in that I don't view sex as I do here on my off time. By that, my life is not about sex!! I don't engage in casual sex with random people, nor do I bring home random men whom I am not in a relationship with, am not a swinger, don't do the 3 way thing with boyfriends I love, spend countless hours watching porn or lusting over the hot guy who walks by. Can't recall the last time I had a "real" date in fact, but for some that's exactly the life they lead and it works for them.
Bottom line is anything you can't say NO to or allow to rule over you, is some sort of an addiction. If you can't stop yourself from doing something knowing it is causing you problems, yes you need some help. Usually that help is realizing you are just all about you and your own gratification.
I mean we don't cheat to make the
other person feel better lmao!
Just because it's human nature does not mean you have to give in to every single urge that comes your way. That's why you have skinny and fat people. Some have self control to put down the hot dog, and some don't. You have people who operate in integrity when it comes to success, and you have those that cheat, rob, and manipulate to get to the top. It is all about SELF control...some choose not to bother with this.
Then you have those who "Don't think they are EVER doing anything wrong" as a way of rationalizing so they feel better about themselves in the midst of it.
Live the way you want, and deal with the good or bad that come from your decisions....that's about it.
