Excuses voor mijn taalgebruik, oh teerhartige lezer, maar soms kookt mijn bloed van woede.The use of the word 'sex-craving' creates the impression that the abuser can't actually help it - he had to get rid of his load, right, it's a biological thing - he was horny after all. I do apologise for my use of language, oh tender-hearted reader, but sometimes my blood boils with rage.
