Merge Sexual addiction with Pornography addiction?

See discussion

Cleanup

I tagged this article for cleanup on 22 Jan 2007 due to phrases such as:

So to be clear, sexual addiction is addiction of a sexual nature. In which the sexual method of arousal, stimulation, etc. becomes a compulsion with withdrawal syndromes if it is taken away for too long a period of time.

These sentences, and several others in the article, are clearly grammatically incorrect and non-encyclopedic.

Link deletion

I've deleted the two BS links because they had nothing to add of encyclopedic value; save from some interesting view into the life of people who try to enforce a sex-less world.

United States only?

I have a strong hunch that this is an United States only phenomenon. (Defining someone as a "sexual addict.") A some sort of international aspect would be interesting. Does anyone know any studies or statistics? Thanks! -- 88.194.188.158 (talk) 20:52, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Citation Needed 11

I have deleted the following sentence in the main intro para

Skeptics believe that it is a myth that the phenomenon exists as a disease or disorder at all and is instead a by-product of cultural and other influences.{{Citation needed|date=April 2010}}

Thanks!

No critical section ?

Am I the only to believe that this so-called phenomenon is nothing but a way for the therapists to line their pockets ?
Seriously...
The only pathology, in my opinion, is that some people want to believe they are sick. And some people are more than willing to make them think they are. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.210.13.245 (talk) 17:40, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Disclosure.

I have added to the mainpage an EL to an interview regarding sex addiction. Because I am the subject of that interview, I am indicating it here, so that other editors may decide whether the EL informative appropriate to the page content.
