The Los Angeles Times reports that State Assemblyman Mike Duvall resigned on Wednesday, Sepbember 9 after his lewd comments about women he had been sexually involved with were inadvertently broadcast over an open microphone during a lull in a Sacramento hearing in July.
This is another example of the split we see in sex addicts all the time. Mr. Duvall is a Republican, pro-family advocate who has clearly lead a double life. I’m not saying that he’s definately a sex addict but his behaviors certainly make him suspect.

Experts continue to struggle with how to define the problem of compulsive sexual behaviors because of the lack of scientific data to support that the need for sex can feel like an addiction. Thousands of men and women describe their need for sex and inability to control their behaviors as feeling like an addiction.
Psychotherapist Mavis Humes Baird talks about sex addiction as a bona fide disorder in this interview in the Huffington Post.
