Since there is such a stir regarding President Clinton's Sexcapades with Monica Lewinsky I felt compelled to stick my two cents into the mix and write a brief on Sex Addiction . Please note, this brief is mildly satirical and not meant to offend anyone working a recovery program. These days, it seems, we have all kinds of addictions, love, sex, internet, food, etc. In the past we had only drug and alcohol addictions.
People seem to be in recovery mode.
Twelve step programs are springing up everywhere to deal with things that we never considered afflictions in the past. I don't find this bad, just amusing, because some manage to deny personal responsibility for their behavior by pleading addiction. For example, there is a political correctness to being a Sex Addict, but not so if you engage in the same behavior as a philanderer. The two terms paint different portraits of a person's character. What I hear in the media regarding Mr. Clinton's behavior is that he is a Sex Addict.
