Replace with "sex addict" if you want.

Nothing wrong with being a sex addict though IMO.

Also about the "his money", yeah sure and I agree when it comes to solo people, but if someone is supporting a family (children who can't take care of themselves) the money he makes becomes their money too.

If your mother one day separated from your father because she "wanted to have some fun", would you just wish her well in her future enterprises?NOOBY93 wrote:Nothing wrong with being a sex addict though IMO. It doesn't hurt you, it doesn't hurt anyone else around you.

Re: Touching movie about transsexual man - is transexualism
Because those things hurt people. Those things ruin lives. But being trans doesn't hurt; what hurts is how others react to being trans. Trans people who are supported instead of vilified and told they're sick are happy and fulfilled. The pain comes from not being accepted as who they are, not the fact that they're trans. A gambler can be encouraged, discouraged, or ignored, but in the end gambling can still hurt them and their loved ones.loftar wrote:[There is no end of things that pretty much everyone admits are unsound obsessions: such things as gambling addiction, sex addiction, excessive web browsing, and what not else. Why is it so obvious to you that gender obsession is not one of these things?

Re: Touching movie about transsexual man - is transexualism
In this hypothetical situation are my mother and father in an open relationship and her doing that wouldn't hurt my father? In this case, I would wish her well indeed. In fact, my parents are divorced so at the moment they don't mind if the other one goes to "have some fun", so I don't mind at all. As long as it's hurting nobody, it's okay.loftar wrote:If your mother one day separated from your father because she "wanted to have some fun", would you just wish her well in her future enterprises?NOOBY93 wrote:Nothing wrong with being a sex addict though IMO.

Addiction - the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming, as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma.
And honestly, how is sex addiction not harmful? What if I'm so desperate I go out and hire a prostitute and get thrown in jail? Or get involved in a sex trafficking ring to sate my addiction? Or if I have an STD and go gallivanting around spreading it without telling my partners? Or I destroy my family because I've cheated on my spouse?
You're being naive. But all these hypothetical aside, addictions are by their nature unhealthy.
