I can't stand any of the above. I rarely turn on the TV anymore. All of
these "reality" shows and E! Insider things seem to pander to the people whose
lives are so empty and boring that they have to talk about what Demi Moore
wore the other day or which money-grabbing bimbo some frat-boy loser will
pick. I can almost feel my brain leaking out my ears.

Demi Moore isn't a whore. I've heard that before, and I think that
people are confusing her persona for the personas she's played in movies.
The whole sex addiction thing just seems like it's too much glossing
over of too many different and unrelated things, to me. I don't think you
could seriously treat, say, ADD and Asperger's if you lumped them together,
and I don't think you can treat codependency and masochistic tendencies if
you lump them together.
One of the best yardsticks I've seen in terms of whether something is
a mental illness or not is the social functioning of the person in question.
Most BDSM enthusiasts I know are perfectly well adapted, and have partners
with compatible interests. It's present at some level in all sexuality, too,
and in all relationships, the idea of control and gaining or relinquishing
it.

In other words:
"It's not that people who talk about 'sex addiction' are lying, or that
they're delusional. It's just that 'sex addiction' is a big vague
category. It probably makes sense to split it up into a few smaller, more
specific categories before you try to come to any conclusions."
Would that be a fair way to put it?

It goes a little further than that. It's enough to say that the
diagnosis of "sex addiction" is like "ADD" used to be a couple of years ago,
fluffy and an overly popular diagnosis.

And with his work in MTV's "Punk'd", "Dude, Where's My Car?" and "Just
Married", I would guess they would reinforce that impression. They surely
reinforce mine.
Or he's a really good actor. One has to wonder. He was majoring in
biochemical engineering at U of Iowa before he switched to modeling.

I think "doofus" was more accurate anyway.
Re #13: Ah... but do you think that there is such a thing as legitimate ADD?
