Thank you, Mike, for another wonderful article.
When I try to explain sexual addiction, I analogize to heroin. Those poor misguided souls who counsel wives "to give your husband more sex" might benefit from the following:
Would you advise giving more heroin to a heroin addict?
Would you advise giving more booze to an alcoholic?
No amount of marital intimacy will satisfy the lust of a sex addict. In my experience, even trained counselors are clueless and do more damage to already traumatized wives with the advice they dispense. I think this is truly one of those things that an individual can never understand unless or until they've walked the path.

Yes, some who've been through it could offer better advice than some of the counselors out there.

Thanks for sharing again: Sex-addiction might have nothing to do with sex actually? There might be quite other roots?
The same with alcohol, heroine; It might not have to with that stuff? But it might have to do with the things under?
Just some thougts.
Thanks

Hi Mike, I think this is fine in many ways. It might be useful not only for sex-addiction but maybe for all kind of relational problems. I mean the principles of blaming.
Thanks

You're right Man... dropping pride and taking responsibility would help in every kind of relational problem.
