Overcoming an..addiction?

[Mous]

It's considered an addiction if it consumes your thoughts and interferes with your normal life. There was some TV show about sex addicts and the level they took the addiction to was certainly nothing mentioned here. It involved cheating on spouses, lying about whereabouts and a lot of dangerous, anonymous sex. One of my friends is a true sex addict.

It's natural to be a bit obsessed with sex after the first times it's been done. I was the exact same way after my first time. I was just lucky enough to be with someone who didn't mind indulging that side of me. If it's for religion though and it does mean a lot to the person, then even if it is "natural" it still violates a belief on some level. If they're dedicated enough then they can pull through :]

Definitions of addiction on the Web:

being abnormally tolerant to and dependent on something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming

I'm pretty "THINKING ABOUT SEX MEANS YOUR ADDICTED" isn't in that statement anywhere.

I'm trying to figure out what your standpoint is, you just said "Thinking
about sex too much makes you addicted" then you said "Being obsessed
with sex is natural" then you said you were "lucky to find someone willing
to indulge you". Long story short; "If you think about sex, you're addicted,
but that's okay, being obsessed with sex is natural, I found someone to
wallow in my addiction with me."

My point still remains, the kid is probably 13-16 years old,
and gets a boner when eh barely *thinks* about sex.
That's called puberty, not addiction. Don't tell him he's an addict >.<
He probably hears that enough from his parents, they sound like
crazy Evangelical Christians.
