n the time since revelations of Tiger Woods' extramarital activities first surfaced, armchair psychologists have thrown around the term "sex addict" to explain the legendary golfer's behavior. And leading in to his public apology, Woods was reported to be attending a clinic to "treat" a sex addiction. But chronically hooking up with nightclub hotties on the road doesn't necessarily mean someone is addicted to sex, experts say.
Addicts' behaviors are compulsive and escalating, and continue despite negative consequences, says Sharon O'Hara, the clinical director of the Sexual Recovery Institute in Los Angeles. O'Hara, who's treated sex addicts for almost two decades, says their actions take over their minds, causing sleeplessness, anxiety, and a loss of focus at work. There's also a great sense of shame because often their behaviors go against their personal beliefs and values. This can lead to severe depression.
"Sex addicts live lives of deception," O'Hara says. When they're out seeking sex, they often enter a dissociative state, almost as if they've gone through a door into another world, she says. After their craving is satisfied, they shut the door and return to their families. "When they become concerned with keeping their second life from others, this leads to guilt."
But it can be hard to resist the temptation. The chemical changes in sex addicts' brains are the same as people with other addictions. Sex addicts continue to seek out the "high" they experience, pursuing new women and, as that novelty dies out, more women. Despite the list of alleged mistresses, O'Hara says the Woods situation doesn't sound like sex addiction. "If I had to hazard a guess, I don't think it's sex he's really after. It would appear he's seeking adoration."
But right now, there simply isn't enough public information to accurately assess if Woods suffers from sexual addiction, O'Hara stresses. Regardless of Woods' actual state of mind, read on to discover one man's account of what sexual addiction is like.
The Crippling, Unquenchable Lust of Addiction
By Drew Dorr
The first time Jessica discovered the illicit phone records and receipts and a hard-drive history chockfull of indiscretions, we were in the midst of planning our wedding. She smashed a potted plant on the driveway and stormed off into the night; I stumbled after her and fell heavily against the hood of my car and thought, "Here we go again."
When she caught me again, only months later and after we had partially rebuilt what had been torn down, I was less prepared. Moments after she hung up on me, blinded with tears and wild with anguish, I unfastened my belt and strapped the cool leather around my neck. I mounted the swivel chair resting innocuously in front of my computer, the electronic diary of my transgressions, and placed the flat end of the belt between the door and the doorway. As I reached behind my head to tighten the belt, I heard the casters squeak against the linoleum.
