"You can virtually set your watch by it: whenever a celebrity is caught in well-publicized infidelity or sexual harassment case, you can count the seconds until their press agent announces they are seeking treatment for sex addiction. While it's a handy get-out-of-jail-free card that suggests a medical problem is the true perpetrator, it's one that hardly has universal recognition. It appears that for just about every case of an expert acknowledging the problem as a true addiction, there is another equal and opposite expert dismissing the notion. Today we're going to have a look a sex addiction, to find out what about it is real, what may be misrepresented, and learn just how much of it — if any — is complete fiction." (link)
