Re: Seven Days of Sex... Woo Hoo!! :)

Hmmm.

So what would qualify it as an addiction, other than...causing arguments?

I'm going to skip right over using it as a drug, because I don't really understand it, and can't really express my initial thoughts about it on here.

Sex should be fun--not just deliberate (planned) for a "good reason." As long as both husband and wife are happy and fulfilled, I say it is an intimacy builder.

I also think that men do have higher sex drives than women naturally, so it wouldn't be fair to say that they are addicted to sex just because they want it more often. Nor is it fair to say a woman is frigid if she doesn't (want it as often).

The balance is found in couples pleasing one another, and doing what makes BOTH happy--and if that's every night, then I don't call that "addiction."

So...back to my question...what would you call "sexual addiction?"
