Some people question whether sex addiction really exists. Maybe it is something created by psychiatrists to generate revenue. Compare someone who spends 2 hours a day having sex to someone who spends 2 hours a day watching television.

His psychiatrist might say “I cured his sex addiction, but now he’s a couch potato.”

If someone spends a lot of time with prostitutes, the risk of disease is high. Is the problem sex addiction or the type of sex he engages in? Instead of spending money on a sex addiction clinic, one could stop having sex for free.
