    In reply to Sex-Crazed Columnist Rants Against Sex Rehab. Typical Addict Behavior.
    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

    Dear Maureen Dowd;

    You do not have a penis, but this needn't sadden you,
    You'll never need Viagra, you won't have balls of blue.
    An inconvenient hardon won't interrupt your job.
    You won't be in the men's room, aiming like a slob.
    You'll never be a man who over time will find,
    He hasn't enough corpuscles to run both cock and mind.

    Instead, God gave you titties! And a great vajay!
    These are things you should embrace to chase the blues away.
    Instead of wasting time pondering like Babbit,
    Which men are girls and girls are men (a nasty little habit),
    I'd suggest you go online
    And buy yourself a Rabbit.

    Men are all different, women too, not all will act the same
    Some women like to drink and screw, some men like Auntie Mame.
    O'er these things it wastes your time to idly obsess.
    I'll arch a brow only if Obama's in a dress.

    So drop this strange compulsion to write of who has wangs,
    (But let us know of Cheney's stage debut when he comes to Lucky Cheng's.)

    Best regards,
    BettyCrocker #maureendowd

    Game, set, match to Pareene for describing the problem so precisely. The one thing worse than a columnist with dumb opionions is one who doesn't even know what her opinions are. And as he shows, she uses the wordplay caveat of "a deeper personal connection" to smudge her illogical point about Rahm. #maureendowd
