In your reality, you are saying no such thing as addiction, be it sex, drugs, or rocknroll......apples or oranges..

Your next few sentences do make sense in at least looking at certain aggravating contributors to sex addiction, "What is called sex addiction is a product of our sexually dysfunctional society.".....can anyone say AMEN......
"There is a wide variation in what is normal among individuals".......can anyone say AMEN.....

Your next sentence is where reason departs from reality...... so I think what you are trying to say is that the person who is not getting enough sex is dysfunctional and trying to tell those who are having more sex that they are sex addicts.....is that correct..?
