Is sex addiction ever a valid excuse for cheating?

It seems like a fairly convenient excuse for the cheater to use but could it ever be a valid excuse. If alcohol addiction is a disease then is sex addiction a disease?

It is for the cheater...

Pottler · 18-10-2012 10:48PM

Good way to get a disease tho. How long have you been a sex addict? Sounds moreish.

It's not an excuse. It's a reason. They're still doing something bad.

I see an excuse as something that absolves you from blame. Like "Sorry I ran into your car. I hit a patch of black ice"

as opposed to "Sorry I ran into your car. I was drunk"

Thomas828 · 18-10-2012 11:18PM

My answer to that question is, no.

willmunny1990 · 18-10-2012 11:19PM

No.

blacklilly · 18-10-2012 11:27PM

It's worked for me

Alcoholism is not a disease. Liking sex is not a disease. Wanting lots of sex is not a disease. There is something wrong with a person that doesn't want plenty of sex. Society and culture are the disease, and religion just to stir the pot :P
We should all be screwing in mad orgy huts, sucking on berries and titties, chewing weird leaves and generally getting ourselves killed in stupid fashion. If we were doing all that we'd be a lot happier and the planet wouldn't be destroyed.

That's a brilliant idea. You could make a fortune from pr0n.

Sex addiction, the one disease you probably wouldn't mind getting.

If you didn't mind getting it, it wouldn't be a DIS - EASE. Geddit?

Valid excuse? Sure, in the way that "I'm an alcoholic, I can't help hurting the people I love when I'm drunk", is an excuse for beating the crap out of your wife.

Being addicted to sex (which I have my reservations about being a real thing) can explain why a person would have lots of sex, or have sex with people they don't like. It's not at all related to the reasoning for getting into a relationship with someone and then having sex with other people.

I always imagine it as a gateway disease. Once you get it you start getting onto the stronger stuff... like herpies and STIs

Yo might as well face it you're addicted to love.

According to random findings from ages ago that I can't fully remember, it seems that a sex addict is as likely to go and have some homeless man blow him in order to get his fix. So I probably would mind if that's the case.

frozenfrozen · 18-10-2012 11:37PM

Well if one person isn't putting out at all eventually the sex addict is going to cave in to temptation.......in some make believe world.. 99% of the time it's a **** excuse

No it's not an excuse IMO. People have responsibilities, and if you're in a relationship you've committed to your partner and if you're married you've made a covenant with your wife. This means that you should honour that commitment or covenant agreement. In the event that you can't justify being in that relationship / marriage you should man up and break up or if you are married you clearly can't commit to your wife anymore if you're seeking other people instead. She deserves much better.

Simply put too many people and men to put it crudely follow their balls rather than their heart or their head. Naturally many people might be attractive to us but if we've committed to someone that's key. If we love someone that's key. We live in a perverse culture that too often puts sex above a love and a commitment to another person where sex may be a component but not the sum total.

No more than killing addiction is an excuse for murder.

for sure. so is 'i likes to hump lots of wimin' and 'i wanted his stuff, really, really bad so i took it' and etc.

now, whether is will be accepted as a valid excuse is a whole other kettle of Kabala

(see sin thread)

edit, if your asking does mental illness absolve one from ones actions, the ans is yes, if it incapacitates one's ability to reason. as for a particular case like sex addiction, i dunno.

i remember the LLS did a thing on it. seems pretty serious (ie sex from anyone at any cost) - for those who ACTUALLY have it, which i imagine is lot less than stated.

Being addicted to sex is an excuse for cheating, same as heroin addiction is an excuse for robbing a handbag.

At least they have some excuse. I wouldn't trust somebody who cheated, not reliable as a friend, somebody who cheats sexually will cheat on you in some other part of life.

Is sex addiction ever a valid excuse for cheating?
