Question by Cesaria Barbarossa – 40K: How do you feel about Tiger and Jesse making infidelity an addiction problem that needs treatment, not scorn?
Also forgot Eric Benet, Halle Berry’s ex-husband who said he had a sex addiction and went ot treatment after cheating.
What do you think about this new trend that infidelity should be looked at as signs of an addiction that needs treatment. Does this give infidelity less of a stigma if it’s treated as a psychological problem, moreso than a problem of selfishness and lack of self-control?
Do you think this would fly in “real life?”

Answer by Caroline
Even though I was a psych major in college, I’d like to think I’m also a realist. Sex addiction, like alcoholism or drug addiction, may very well be a “condition” but I personally think no-one held a gun to Tiger’s head, he knew what he was doing, he certainly knew the possible consequences, and he CHOSE to do it anyway. And to me, a sex addict doesn’t create relationships, such as they are, like Tiger and Jesse did with their “other women”. So I think it’s complete BS. I feel sorry for the wives in all of those cases. I was cheated on by a boyfriend and it was totally humiliating so I can only imagine how Sandra, etc. feel because their humiliation is splashed all over the front page. Yea, they need treatment. With a Louisville Slugger. Jerks.
Add your own answer in the comments!.
I think they should seek help for themselves I don’t think the act of doing that fixes anything tho.
Its all bull.
Its a copout.
Rather than saying “yes I’m a dog”, they choose the easy way out and blame it on an illness.
What these two did to their wives ins’t motivated by sex addiction, its motivated by the fact that they are full of themselves, have no respect for women, and just feel entitled.
I’m sorry but I’m not buying the whole sex addiction gig.
Its an excuse.
I don’t think that society in general buys into
these rich guys spin doctor’s marketing of them.
People of this ilk are buying into their p.r.and being shielded from reality.
Their people need to schedule reality checks for them.
When did infidelity become a spectator sport anyway?
Although I do feel Tiger has been psychologically affected,
and if the girls hadn’t got him booze or drugs or somesuch
would have .
Jesse has fewer excuses,and who really cares where an
aging biker sticks his weenie anyway ?
