That is very interesting. Proves something I often believe in for people who have a positive outlook on life "Fantasy is often better than reality"

We all have addictions.
Sex "addiction" is a load of crap.

And who restarted this relic thread anyway?

I think it's somewhere between one and two tons. Should I have weighed them?

Do they actually have a number in their head, of exactly how many they have had.

Actually, I think engaging in too many fantasies can be a problem, too. If you're fixated on having sex with different people all the time, that can also be an obsession. If you believe having lots of sex with lots of different people is going to make you happy, then you've got a problem whether you're acting on it or not.

I've read that the rates of depression are off the charts for gay men. There are, inevitably, a lot of reasons for that. But gay men also tend to have a lot of sex partners, and I think that is part of what's fueling the high rates of depression for gay men.

Um, no it really isn't. This is not to say we can excuse bad behavior...but sexual activity registers in the brain very much like a drug does.

But like anything, a person can take responsibility for his/her life and change if they become addicted.
