That don't sounds right to me at all.

That would make a person a sex addicted? I have to disagree with that. A person who is sex addicted is completely different story than what you just describled. There is much more than that. Sex addiction is just like alochol or drug addiction. Very high sex drive affects people to become sex addicted. For example, one of my ex boyfriends who I would consider a sex addiction person because he required to have sex with me at least ten times a day. No I am not kidding about that. I wasn't ready to have sex with him and he asked for an open relationship which I don't believe in and had to break up with him. He came from really good family and have almost same background where I came from. That still don't explain how it caused people to become sex addicted. In my view that sex addiction is caused by very high sex drive and loneiness. It could go away when people get older and their sex drives will slow down eventually.

Pornography does encourage people to become more and more sex obessed than ever. It is still not sex addiction. It is different type of addiction. I would consider that as psychological issue. Once you look at it and became too attracted to it. It is normal for many and many people to be like that.

Both links are not working... I am not sure why...
Interesting perceptive. I personally know some people who were sexually abused, molested or raped when they were young tend to be afraid of having sex or almost have no interest to have sex again. Anyone who rapes, sex abuse or molest have serious psychological issues.
