| 92. I think he is intentionally misunderstanding and misrepresenting the addiction. |
|
People with legitimate sex addiction (Tiger Woods does not count) aren't just ultra horny people looking to get off, and it isn't a example of our Western Values being forced upon sex again. These people's addiction is an interruption to their daily life. It causes them to pursue sexual activity at the expense of their own well being, physical health, and reputation.
Raymond Lawrence is being purposefully obtuse.
