Is Tiger Woods Being Treated for Sex Addiction?

By Sam Brand Posted Jan 12th 2010 09:43PM

PEOPLE suggests Tiger has checked in. X17 has been saying it for weeks now. But wouldn't we know for sure if Tiger had walked through the doors at exclusive Arizona addiction treatment facility, The Meadows?

Not necessarily. The Meadows doesn't announce any of its guests. But we were informed when fellow wayward celebs David Duchovny and Eric Benet sought sex addiction help. Isn't the publicity kind of the point?

Rumors first surfaced last month that Tiger had checked himself into an Arizona treatment facility. Some said he was recovering from facial reconstructive surgery for an injury incurred during the Nov. 27 car accident. Others said the injury was caused when Elin Nordegren slammed him in the mouth with a 9-iron after finding out about Rachel Uchitel. Others still said there was no noticible injury at all, but Tiger had checked in to seek treatment for an addiction to painkillers.

On Tuesday PEOPLE reported Tiger had checked into the Wickenburg, Arizona abuse clinic The Meadows, citing an anonymous "sex-therapy expert who claims to be familiar with the situation." According to the source, Tiger walked through the doors around New Years and "should be out by Valentine's Day."

For those unfamiliar with sex therapy, that means Tiger will spend a month-and-a-half of celibacy, his waking hours engaged in heartfelt talk with other guys who can't say no to sex.

And according to X17, at The Meadows "everyone has to wear a color-coded nametag that signifies what you're in for. You wear it 24/7 so everyone knows exactly what your poison is from the minute they lay eyes on you."

But not everyone thinks Tiger is necessarily addicted to sex. Dr. Drew Pinsky tells PEOPLE that Tiger "seems to be maintaining relationships" with his mistresses, "not just having sex with them."

Pinsky suggests Woods' best shot at recovering emotionally and professionally is if "his wife not break up with him and that she get involved in the treatment process."

The TV doc doesn't suggest what's best for Nordegren.

We'll give our own advice.

Take the money and run.

ha ha!! thats a good one

By Barry A Clarke

Who cares what he is being treated for, it's a cover up. Bottom line is that he "HAD" a beautiful wife and family that he tossed away. If sex was an issue, it could have been solved at his bedroom at home with his wife. Who could not have gotten enough from a woman like this ????????????

By RJ

He probably realized that she was doing that scank Jasper before him and grossed him out

By I' so sorry for his wife and children

If it was a sex addiction he wouldnot have had affairs or one nighters with only white gals, mainly blond. Anyone addicted to sex will do it with any one, black, white, asian, spanish because all he would want is a quick "get off". And Tiger has said before that he is not Black he is "Blasian" so insent that black and white? So in truth 50% of him is black. He is not a sex addict

100% You hit the nail on the head

YOUR'E ASSUMING THAT SHE LIKES SEX. WE HEAR IT ALL THE TIME. SOME HOT WOMAN HAS BEEN CHEATED ON BY HER HUSBAND OR BOYFRIEND. JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE HOT DOES NOT MEAN THEY LIKE SEX, DOES'NT MEAN THEY'RE GOOD AT IT AND DOES NOT MEAN THEY LIKE THE KIND OF SEX THE MAN LIKES. ANYONE WHO IS MARRIED OR HAS BEEN MARRIED KNOWS THAT ONCE THE RING IS ON THE SEX CHANGES AND IT ONLY GETS WORSE ONCE CHILDREN ARE IN THE PICTURE.

BUT, ONLY A RAT BASTARD WOULD CHEAT ON THEIR SPOUSE.
