I'm not talking about a bad habit, I am talking about
clinical addiction, the kind you can be admitted for..
that means:
Accordingly, sexual
addiction is defined as a condition in which some form of sexual behavior is employed in a pattern that is characterized by two key features: 1) recurrent failure to control the sexual behavior, and 2) continuation of the sexual behavior despite significant harmful consequences. Consequently, sexual
addiction is a syndrome in which some form of sexual behavior relates to and affects an individual's life in such a manner as to accord with the simple
definition of
addiction or to meet the diagnostic criteria for addictive disorder.
