Sex addiction?

At what point do we get to TMI?

You know, there was a time when, as a society, we believed that addiction was a matter of weak will and moral failing, and we treated drunks and drug users accordingly.

Then we learned more about the human brain, and realized that addiction was in many cases a function of the brain, not something that could be treated by tough love alone.

Then we started discovering other addictions.

Now, I think we may be at a point where I’m ready to simply say, “Not sending dirty pictures over the Internet is simply a matter of willpower. Not everything that feels good and is bad for you is an addiction.”
