Annie Sprinkle on sex addiction
Annie Sprinkle questions the concept of "sex addiction". "Sex addiction often makes a disease out of what is often quite reasonable sexual behavior. It emphasizes negative aspects of sex. It takes away some of the personal responsibility for sexual choices and blames problems on a disease. It offers simple solutions to complex problems. Marty Klein points out that 'Sex addiction legitimizes sex-negative attitudes and supports sexual guilt.' It can make people feel bad if they simply have an active and varied sex life."
