The Sexual Continuum
“New Brain Study Questions Existence of ‘Sexual Addiction'”
Sexual desire, not hypersexuality, is related to neurophysiological responses elicited by sexual images
“Modulation of sexual desires is, in some cases, necessary to avoid inappropriate or illegal sexual behavior (downregulation of sexual desire) or to engage with a romantic partner (upregulation of sexual desire).”

Too Much or Too Little: DSM-V’s Gray Area on Sex Addiction
“This week, with the release of the DSM-V, the latest edition of the psychiatric bible that defines and diagnoses mental-health disorders, experts thought we’d finally get some answers about who’s just on the extreme end of the horny spectrum and who’s got an actual clinical problem.”

Addiction implies withdrawals. I've never heard of people having withdrawals because of sex deprivation.
What about being addicted to the orgasm and not the images themselves
I but mah gold star on mah forehead!!!
What's wrong with thick girls? lol
I FEEL YOU!!!!
looks like they were studying porn addiction rather than sex addiction

Are they making any distinction between people who maybe addicted to the chemical release, and those who have obsessive sexual thoughts and compulsively have sex/watch porn/masterbate?
I watched this video 15 times… I'VE GOT TO FEED THE ADDICTION!! DX<

Is there something about OCD or having evil thoughts?
interesting how asexuality is seen as "normal, yeah it happens dont worry about it" while sex addidction, wich is the exact opposite is a disorder.. yeah sure
ahhhh :-) Laci :-) How'd I know you were going to be doing the Sex addiction one ^.^ The one woman on the internet I'd have a sex addiction with ;-) if ya feel me there ;-) ;-)
If not sex addiction, and just a really HIGH libido, can you over exaggerate the libido and literally hump everything in sight like in the song Love Potion #9?
+nolanhewitt EVEN ANIMAL CROSSING?? xD
This is important. I'm female and I'm not addicted to sex. I do, however, have an extremely high libido. The difference is that I don't do things with my boyfriend all the time because I have to, for my mental health. I do things with my BF because I like to. I just like to more than most people do.
I feel you. I feel you. I mean I want to at least.
I saw a documentary about this and it said that the people that were sex addicts their pleasure center was overdrive
Pussy is the most addicting thing in the whole world!!!!!!
Shouldn't addiction be defined in terms of its effects on the addicted person's life instead of in terms of neural firing? The brain scans can show if there is a neurological basis for a particular addiction, but they won't rule out other possible bases for addictive behavior such as upbringing (e.g. there are more smokers who had parents who smoked than there are smokers whose parents didn't smoke), compulsive behavior, etc. And, it may be possible to have an addiction to some activity as opposed to some substance, such as sex, or video games, or telephone conversations, wherein the addicted person indulges to excess in the activity such that said overindulgence interferes with that person's ability to live a happy, self-supporting, functional life. As these activities have no chemical basis, it wouldn't be surprising to learn that they do not have much impact on ones neuro-chemistry. But the end effect for the addicted person is still one of overindulgence to the detriment of the rest of his or her daily life.
Sex addiction research can't be done primiraly based on looking at a picture. Before that research even takes place, they should find someone that has a very high level of sex addiction. This means not finding a subjects with a non-clinical sex addiction. This research is to grey, hopefully there will better outcome in the future.
I'd feel her with my raging on! ;) LOLZ

what if your a sex addict who is a virgin …kinda like an alcoholic who lives in a country were there is no alcohol

I'd say sex addiction is a very real disorder. Just recently, I saw this woman on a train I was on apparently going from car to car, asking every guy on the train to have sex with her. What was really freaky was she came at me twice and I'm not even that attractive or see myself that and even if I did, I'm not that into sex if I'm to be honest. Not saying I don't like/want it, but I'm not gonna die without it. Plus, I only want to have sex with a person I'm in a relationship with and only with that person. That being said, I told her I wasn't interested and finally she backed off. She really must've been desperate for sex to ask every guy there. So this is very real as a drug/alcohol addiction. It's just something most people don't want to admit or they make excuses for it. People ultimately choose what they want in their personal lives or whatever. You do you, I do me.
I dont feel you, but i feel me, if u know what i mean Laxi…A/S/L?…;)
She looks like she's constantly on the verge of crying from happiness. That's how fake she is. Very distracting.
I had to watch this for a course BTW!

Из-за отсутствия лучшего слова, захватывает дух. Наборы яркие. Их богатый цвет и подвижный статус притягивают наблюдателя к действию. Костюмы являются декоративными, красивыми и работоспособными одновременно. Макияж выделяет костюмы, и никто никогда не замечает тот факт, что это люди, разыгрывающие части животных. Вы настолько увлечены образами всего этогоb
