    Addiction to substances such as drugs and alcohol are readily accepted. The behavioral addictions are a little bit harder for some to understand. For drugs and alcohol, you can entirely abstain from. With a behavior like gambling or shoplifting, abstention is ideal.

    What's harder though are behavioral addictions that have to be integrated into life as a healthy element. You can't give up certain processes like eating, sex, or shopping. You have to eat, make love, or buy essentials eventually. Trying to find the balance between cycles of binging and purging, complete celibacy and nymphomania, or whatever is a bit more complex. I believe that a combination of twelve-step programs and therapy, it's easier finding the right balance would be clarified. #sexytime

    @plasticene: With regard to medication and sex addiction, I've often heard that unsurprisingly anti-depressants work. This is not some anti-Viagra. Often times the side effects of such common ones like Prozac, Paxil, Wellbutrin, Zoloft, and others are decreased libidos. A therapist who specializes in sex addiction could probably recommend a psychiatrist regarding treatment options.

    @The Curse of Millhaven: I wouldn't wish addiction to anything on anyone, but point well taken.

    Claiming that addiction is somehow mere "feebleness of the mind" and not a disease of both the mind and the body is staggeringly stupid. Peyser may be feigning ignorance because she's a two-bit agit-hackerette, but seriously: UGH! #sexytime

    @plasticene: I honestly haven't even followed the Steve Phillips debacle closely enough to have an opinion on it either way. I was just objecting to Peyser's generic barfola statement that "addiction is not a true disease." That seems to be her nut graph in the column, no? #sexytime

    Peyser! Peyser! Like a geyser
    Of bitter misanthropic bile!
    When Gawkerees outright despise ya,
    Best to disappear awhile.

    You like to lecture, even hector
    New Yorkers with your evil screeds
    And though no one would want to sex ya
    We understand - you still have needs.

    Hence the picture of your pussy
    Patriotic cloth askew
    He looks like he is not too fussy
    Yet he wants to flee from you!

    As advertising or as bait
    Your pussy pic does serve you ill
    You radiate just so much hate
    No one will eat you...
    But when you die alone?
    Your pussy will. #sexytime

    @son of spam: The Holy Spirit is a rad dude. He has the best drugs because he travels to all sorts of cool locations and gets into the hippest parties. The only problem is that he kept pooping all over My living room cos he's a bird. So I got fed up and put him in a cage in My basement.

    And no, Mary has nothing to say on this. She's not one of those opinionated, hairy, loudmouth feminists that the Satan worshippers love so much. She's a nice lady with some class.

    @BookishLookish: I like Mary to mix it up: Mormon undies, thongs, granny panties, adult diapers, even going commando. Whatever pleases her. It's not like I control her all the time or whatever the crazy feminists will have you believe. Heh.

    Oh and Mary doesn't go to bed with Joseph. The last time she did that was ages ago and then I showed up at her place and killed her pet lamb and boiled it.

    Just a general rule of thumb: Never accept a drink from someone who has religious figurines in their home. Um, yeah. There's just too much Jesus and Pubis in that one there. Or did my mind just make that leap?

    Also, I so thought that said, "Jesus is my couch. I was very confused for a second.
