Sexual Addiction or Personality Disorder?
More and more experts are in agreeement that compulsive sexual behaviors can be a problem that ruin people’s lives. The question still remains whether sex can be an addiction or whether it’s part of a personality disorder.

CA State Assemblyman Resigns
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.
