Whats the difference between someone who needs psychological help and someone who is just a jerk?
Some are jerks. But there’s a huge difference between someone who’s cheating and an addict. A person who has a sexual addiction is engaging in obsessive-compulsive sexual behavior, which causes severe stress to the addicted individual and their families, and over which they do not have control. The statistics say that more men get help for sex addiction than women. Is there a difference between male and female sex addicts? Male and female sex addicts are pretty much the same. Women tend to get into love addictions more, though men sometimes do too. [A love addiction] may look like a sex addiction, but what they’re really in it for is the high of being adored, getting attention. Women may feel they are only valued for their bodies, so they use their bodies to attract attention or love. Are there men who say urges are normal male biology and that they can’t help pursuing sex all the time? Sometimes it is the thrill of the chase, which is normal, but not if the pursuit becomes compulsive.
