KNOW HOW TO CURE A DUDE FROM SEX ADDICTION? TELL HIM NOT TO MENTION WANTING TO SEX WITH OTHER WOMEN WHEN HIS WIFE IS AROUND. TELL HIM NOT TO LEAVE A PORN TRAIL ON THE FAMILY COMPUTER FOR HIS WIFE TO DISCOVER. WOMEN ARE JEALOUS CREATURES. THEY THINK THAT HUSBANDS AND BOYFRIENDS SHOULD ACT JUST LIKE THEIR MOTHERS AND FATHERS, AND KNOW EVERYTHING THEY NEED WITHOUT HAVING TO TELL THEM. DUH.. LADIES YOUR PARENTS KNEW YOU FROM CREATION. THE OTHER DUDES IN YOUR LIFE ONLY KNOW YOU FROM THE TIME THEY MEET YOU. MEN DO NOT READ MINDS. THEY ARE SIMPLE CREATURES. THEY CRAVE SEX, FOOD, AND ATTENTION. SOME LIKE SPORTS. THAT IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW. ANYTHING THAT MEN DO, IS USUALLY TO GET FOOD, SEX, OR ATTENTION. DAVID IS NORMAL.

Wow, I thought that dude on X-Files had a sex addiction. What was his name? Muller? After having lived with 3 to 5 grown men in our household at anyone time, and been around dudes in the military. Most men think about having sex with every woman they see. It is a male thing. I have kind of gotten used to it. I don't like it, but I have gotten used to it. I have come across naked pictures between my sons' mattress and box springs, sat with my alcoholic brother as he analyzed which female news anchors he would have sex with as we watched the news, and heard my husband make remarks about remembering whether or not movies have female boobies in them. David is normal. He just wants more exposure to that which he is probably not getting at home. Most women do not understand men. Unfortuantely I do. That is the difference. I got a degree in Communication, and I understand dudes. Wow, now I am going to have some nachoes.

The oonly thing funnier than being told that he had a sex addiction is saying he has been cured of a sex addiction! The truth is he likes looking a naked women.. and his wife called him a sex addict...Then all men have a sex addiction!

Also, where do the people here keep getting off about saying "he's not cured... two months can't cure you... blah blah... he'll never be cured..." Wtf, people? Going through rehab isn't about getting cured... it's about beginning the process. He completed the program for his addiction and now he's continuing to work on his problem in the real world. Rehab just provides a private location with doctors to help you START. Finishing is about going through life and not letting your addicting get the better of you. You people make me pretty sick. It's like you don't want people to get better or do better in life. Who cares if he's a celeb you don't know? You shouldn't talk like this about anyone!
