\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This past week Tiger Woods joined a long list of celebrities who have checked into some kind of treatment center for “sex addiction”. Now I understand alcohol and drug addiction, food addiction and maybe even shopping addiction. But sex addiction???? That is really straining the limits of what I can consider an illness.<\/span><\/div>\n
First off, who doesn’t like sex? Isn’t this pretty much a universally enjoyed activity? What’s next? Driving with the sunroof open addiction? Scratching an itch addiction? Sleep addiction? <\/span><\/div>\n
Second, why is it only rich and famous people who have this “disease”? Why is it that Tiger Woods is an addict but Joe Blow from Smalltown<\/span> USA is just a jerk who cheated on his wife? Why is it that no one I know (and I bet no one you know either) have had to check into your local rehab center for this affliction? <\/span><\/div>\n
Third, why is it only men who have this condition? Have you ever seen a woman admit to having this during some teary press conference? I have not.<\/span><\/div>\n
It boggles my mind that we have come so far as a people that we can call cheating on your spouse a disease. Perhaps my inability to whistle is a disease too. I better see if there is some kind of treatment center I should check into.<\/span><\/div>\n
