As most of you have heard, supposedly Tiger (yes we are on a first name bases) is in rehab for sexual addition. Now, I don't know about you but I just don't think that man is addicted to sex. I think he's rich and has had an unlimited supply for so long that it's become a norm. I also think him and/or his publicist are very intelligent so they are using this whole addiction as damage control.

Well guess what… I aint buying it! I'm still up in the air on this whole sex addiction thing to begin with. Yes, I've been told it's an addiction just like anything else. But, I mean how does one become addicted to sex? Or better yet how do find out you're addicted to sex? Are you just sitting down one day and say, "Whoa, I think I'm a sex addict!" Or do you wait until you get in some kind of trouble and then say, "You know, I can't really help it. I'm addicted." I don't know anyone (who is openly) addicted to sex but in my opinion it's usually the latter. All the famous sex addicts that I know of just so happen become addicts when their "drug of choice" gets them in trouble.

Being the education person that I am, I tried to look at this in a variety of ways. Maybe we don't hear about sex addicts that often because it's so taboo; maybe, there are millions of people silently suffering (yet coping) with this unspoken disease. I just don't know. I mean everyone has that drunk uncle, or that cousin who overeats, and unfortunately most of us know a junkie or two. But how many people have an aunt that's addicted to sex!?!? Most addictions that we know of to date were not necessarily always publicly addressed in the past but people dealt with them privately. I know there was a time before AA but everyone knew Uncle Ray drank a little too much a little too often.

So I blame the man! Well not the man so to speak but society. Of course people think of sex all the time, it's everywhere. Everyone is hypersexed; even M&M's are sexual these days! I work with little kids and they're exposed to so much sex it's ridiculous! I can see how if someone has been exposed to sex on a regular basis for years, then has a chance to play out most of their fantasies effortlessly for years can think they are addicted. I mean if I had money, I would most definitely be a shopaholic. But I don't (shoulder slump. sigh) so I'm not.

I am very sorry if anyone is offended by this post. I know there are people who suffer with addictions and do not mean to take this topic lightly. However, as this is my blog I am permissible to speak on things even if I'm not knowledgeable about the topic. Therefore zero amount of research went into this post and I could be completely wrong. But….Ignorance is bliss!
