Sex Addiction: Not Scientifically Supported
[ send me this paper ]
14 pages in length. Addiction has become a generalized word thrown around with reckless abandon as much as crazy, gay or stupid. To look at the actual meaning of these words is to find just how deeply they have become embedded within a lexicon that not only dilutes definitions but also adds connotations that have absolutely nothing to do with the human target at which it is being hurled. According to Siegal et al (2007), in order to be an addict one must have a disease that needs to be cured. Hypersexuality in and of itself, the authors contend, is neither akin to true addictive behavior nor in need of healing but instead a very natural, regular activity for some human beings and not for others. To ascertain if such behavior is considered normal is to first define normality, which is precisely where perceived morals become inextricably - as well as inappropriately - intertwined with the notion of sexual "addiction."
