What?

Even sex now is being labelled as a mental disorder and i now suppose that there will be a sex addictive "spectrum."
Who would want to be cured of this "mental disorder?".......perverts or rapists I suppose.
"This could be sex with a partner, masturbation, pornography use, visiting prostitutes or using chat lines."
I thought the above was normal male behaviour.........but not now i gather.

Rockrose:
"It is not normal for a man in a happy relationship to seek sex with another person prostitute or otherwise. "
Your statement is the basis for 90% of the posts on this thread.
Who is to say that it is a "happy relationship and on what criteria?"
I am sure that many "happily married" men seek extramarital sex, but is it normal, then you need to define normal, which I have done.
Is " not normal" morally acceptable, or indeed acceptable under any circumstances and i suggest that it may well be.
What is normal behaviour to one person may well be abnormal to someone else.
This thread is about should sex addiction be described as a mental disorder and should it be available on the NHS.

Maybe Sqad went to Spain to appear more normal!

Regarding this statement in the article - 'There is no single reason... why prostitution should be so popular in Spain.' - maybe there is :)

>>> " affecting their lives?"....if they are not perverts or rapists, how else could the need for constant sex affect one's life?
Some real life examples for you, Sqad:

Thanks Buenchico....but these that you describe in the links ARE extreme cases and not the run of the mill people who just enjoy sex and plenty of it.
Now whether that could be described as "addiction" as maintained by the WHO, that is quite another matter, but on the evidence shown in you link then her life, was affected.
Now whether sex is a matter of addiction or dependency can be argued either way, but i think that it is a dependency as personally i regard addiction as drug initiated.
I suppose one can become "addicted" or "dependent " on anything and these can impact on family life e.g finances, but that is not my definition of ADDICTION.
