Question by Adamismyname: Is sex addiction real or just an excuse? I am watching a Dr. Phil episode on it.?
I don’t have this but I know someone who may have at one time. I understood though the person had it as part of his Borderline Personality and trauma from a refugee camp he lived in before leaving Cambodia. In that mans case he was mostly, not completely, faithful when married but when he did cheat he got divorced. As a single man he was out of control and even arrested for picking up a prostitute. I only knew the man a little and did not like him. I am wondering now though if he could have had a sex addiction where he couldn’t help parts of it like someone with a drug or alcohol addiction or is that not a real condition.
I remember with Bill Clinton someone saying “its like an alcoholic who sees a bottle of alcohol, Bill Clinton can’t control himself”.

Nymphomania is a mental disorder marked by compulsive sexual behavior. Compulsions are unwanted actions, or rituals, that a person engages in repeatedly without getting pleasure from them or being able to control them. In the case of nymphomania, people act out their compulsions by engaging in risky behaviors such as promiscuity. Whether or not nymphomania qualifies as a true mental illness is often debated in the medical community, but evidence suggests that compulsive sexual behavior is a real and serious illness.
