to believe that sex addiction is all just a load of bollocks?

[mrsmindcontrol]

Don't know if anyone saw this interview on This Morning earlier this week.
Woman claims to be a sex addict and has slept with 1000's of men. Is married and her husband is aware of situation; even waiting in wine bars while she takes men home for a shag.

Her 42nd birthday present to herself was to sleep with 42 different men. Including all members of a stag party. At once.

AIBU in thinking this is all just a load of old bollocks? The woman is a slag, plain and simple. Surely if she was addicted to sex, she could just have lots and lots of sex with her husband. Why is there a need to sleep with so many men?

Saint? Hardly.

Do I try not to judge. Yes.

I'm not perfect, nor would I want to be, I just don't feel the need to make nasty comments about people that choose to have lots of sex.

I use a derogatory word to describe women who call other women slags. My word of choice is nasty.

Lol at the OP 'sex addiction is all a load of bollocks'

Certainly a load of bollocks for that woman - all 84 of 'em

love it getorf...ive just spluttered my tea

Hate the word slag. Think it's just vile.

Shine - the OP seems to be disputing it and teh existence of sex addiction in general, unless her opinion has changed (am skim reading as usual).

Shameful for anyone to use the word 'slag', as I think that is so blindingly obvious I didn't comment on it.

rofl at getorf.

GetOrf, I was originally going to suggest that the sex addiction wasn't just bollocks, but all manner of throbbing sexual organs. But it's too early on a Friday for that sort of thing. Maybe after another earl grey.

I've called men slags too. It's not gender specific, IMO.

There's always something on Mumsnet, isn't there? Ooh, you can't call a child naughty, that's just wrong. You can't call someone that's been living on benefits for five hundred years a scrounger, judgey judgey. You can't call someone with margarine legs a slag, how demeaning! Yeah, more demeaning than shagging anything that moves?

Oh and btw OP, YABU for watching This Morning.

The disease theory of 'alcoholism' was invented by a Dr Jellinek, and funded by a woman called Marty Mann, who funded him in order to prove that alcoholism was a disease. Yale University subsequently took away his phd for dodgy research methods. The theory was based on a questionnaire sent to problem drinkers.

You will like this bit! He took out all the women's questionnaires and based his theory on 79 remaining questionnaires.

The American Medical Association called it an illness, not a disease, around 1970, so that insurance companies would pay for 'treatment'

I think the disease model is not helpful; it is disempowering and self fulfilling. But it has gained widespread acceptance on the back of a retracted phd.

Margarine legs?

Can you honestly not even hear how misogynistic that sounds?

If a spade's a spade and all that...

Margarine legs, SAS cock, whatever.

SOH 'maybe after another earl grey'

OOh yes, tis Friday after all.

Generally I would say that sex addiction is just a made up excuse to shag around.

But I did know a girl at school, as a teenager, who had a head injury and came back to school afterwards with very inappropriate behaviour. She would even try to touch the male teachers. She was given something by her doctors to control this and it was deemed to be a direct result of her head injury. I don't know if she would fit the OPs definition of a slag.

Yeah, because I have no issue with calling people who put it about slags, I must be a bloke.

Why don't you get worked up about something worth getting worked up about?

Are you taking the piss cupcakes? Or being ironic and it is flying right over my head?
