Addiction can cover a variety of addictions: “Counseling addiction”, “therapy addiction”, women and ”men addiction”. Religion, “christian addiction”, Some people can develop ”support group addiction” and, I can guess we all know some that have, “chat addiction”, but do you know What Sex Addiction is?
Just exactly what is a sex addiction?
Well contrary to popular belief, it is not, always about an insatiable appetite, or compulsive sexual thoughts and acts, but rather, about the addicts relentless chase of the object of desire and once this desire has been ‘had’, the addict is no longer interested. It can also relate to the falling in love erratically with a desired one, then falling out of love, just as quickly.
A short while ago I did a post, with questions to ask your self about sex addiction, well here are some more, feel free to indulge your self and do some serious sole searching.
1. Do you feel ashamed about your body?
2. Do you fear that you have little or no sexual feelings?
3. Does each new relationship continue to have the same destructive patterns which motivated you to leave the previous relationship?
4. Do you need more sexually exciting activities to bring you to the same level of arousal and relief?
5. Have you ever been in danger or have you ever been arrested as a result of your need to satisfy your sexual urges?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions then maybe you will benefit from some psycho-sexual therapy or Addiction therapy.
Don’t worry you are not alone, there are lots of people who suffer some kind of addiction and you can learn to be free of your addiction, just like lots of others have too.
Dr Amen and Laura Berman discuss ways to improve your sex life, by stimulating the brain. Most people think sex is only a physical side of a relationship, when in fact sex, involves connecting with your partner intellectually.
I thought I would offer you some humour today, I know you will appreciate.
A husband and his wife went to see a male marriage counselor.
The counselor firstly asked the wife “what was her perception of the problem?”
The wife replied “My husband does not show me any affection, I do not feel loved, and I feel neglected”
At this point the counselor walked over to the wife and kissed her passionately. He then turned to the husband and said “this is what your wife needs 3 times a week”
The husband responded “I can drop her off Mondays and Wednesdays but I can’t on Friday because I play golf ” …
This has been a light hearted joke, but on a more serious note marriage counselors and marriage and family therapists are extremely helpful in keeping families and relationships together.
Could cosmetic surgery cost you, your marriage? Plastic surgery breast implants, a cosmetic procedure, that is a costly act and one that could cost more than you bargained for. Apart from the financial expenditure, reports say that the cost of cosmetic surgery especially, plastic surgery breast implants, could lead to a marital breakdown.
Specialist law firms claim that the most commonly cited signs of infidelity (within women) was a sudden devotion and concern with how the woman looks: Wrinkles, breast size or shape, waist-line etc…
Naturally for a woman, her breasts will eventually head south, she may consider having plastic surgery breast implants. Does it seriously mean she is having an affair?
So where does this line of reasoning leave Peter Andre, who allegedly encouraged his wife Katie Price (aka Jordan) to have plastic surgery breast implants to reduce the size of her boobs?
Husbands apparently feel that a wife who has improved her looks with surgery can not possibly still find him attractive. Jealousy and suspicions can creep in: surely there must be someone else.
Cosmetic surgery is no longer the well kept secret of a few. Most recent figures show that breast enlargement remains the most common procedure for women.
Meanwhile, husbands should relax, it’s mostly a win-win situation. Women are having surgery mostly for their own sakes, which includes feeling sexier with their chosen partner.
Unless of course there are other issues that lie under the surface, one’s that are avoided at all cost. That is, until it is too late.
The Truth about Men relationships and infidelity: Whether it is a casual relationship or a full blown affair. Betrayal affects trust relationships. One of the main ingredients for a good healthy relationship is to be open and honest, sadly this marriage communication is not priority for lots of unhappy couples. The average couple spends only 12 minutes a day in conversation. Couples could try improving things, by spending quality time together, talking about anything except money, work or children.
Gary Neuman, who has been a psychotherapist and marital therapist in the United States for 20 years, was determined to discover why men cheat. In his book ‘The Truth About Cheating’, Neuman interviewed 200 men from 48 states, including 100 men who had cheated and 100 who had not, and concluded that genetics had little to do with most marital breakdowns.
In fact, Neuman reveals that, far from men seeking younger, prettier women, more men blame being under valued and unappreciated by their wives with an “emotional disconnect” in the home than a need to find a newer partner.
Experts are claiming that stress can be the main cause in relation to the lack of sexual drive in men. Depression and the inability to talk about their problems are also a high factor to consider.
Relationship counsellors have reported a whopping 40 % increase in the number of men with low libido’s, stating that, despite being physically able to have sex, they don’t have any interest.
What we seem to have, is a lot of men who are saying: “I can have sex, but I don’t want to. It’s not rewarding”.
Such complaints were unheard of ten years ago. They tend to be men in their thirties, forties and fifties and married.
One of the explanations is that men are less able to talk about their problems than women, or express their emotions. Men are most likely to suffer depression between the ages of 30 and 50. Another explanation could be that our work culture has gone from nine to five, to extremely long hours, which makes for a very stressful life.
It is a serious issue and it counts as a psychosexual dysfunction, rather than just a relationship problem, because these men haven’t simply gone off their partner but they have off sex altogether.
For example, if a man has low testosterone, part of the treatment is to give him a supplement, and that may be more effective if a psychosexual therapist supports the process. The production of testosterone is not entirely physical, …

Amyloids are insoluble fibrous protein aggregates sharing specific structural traits. Abnormal accumulation of amyloid in organs may lead to amyloidosis, and may play a role in various other neurodegenerative diseases: Alzheimer s. Parkinsons Disease. Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy better known as ‘Mad Cow disease’, (to name but a few).
It’s long been known that beta amyloid, a disruptive plaque substance, forms on the brain as Alzheimer’s disease progresses. What is not known is if the plaque causes the disease, or is caused by it. Particularly confusing: some people …
But the actual causes have not been so publicly known, probably because there is still little known about it. But researchers from the Harvard Medical School have found that the brains of people who are suffering from this illness and …
Okay, so far we have dentists putting mercury fillings in your mouth that give off mercury vapor and cause neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. We have the same insane dentists mandating the dripping of EPA-regulated …
Although these are promising findings in the race to find causes and cures for Alzheimer’s patients, as the TIME article points out, this study still needs to be replicated to ensure that the results are viable. From there, of course, …
Losing virginity to the highest bidder. Playing Russian roulette with your sexual health. Becoming teen mothers on purpose. These controversial topics are difficult debates that often end up in heated arguments.

Therapy definition within the media, representing therapists and offering yet another slant on therapists.
Lisa Kudrow the dizzy blonde ‘Phoebe’ from “Friends” has written a comedy about web therapy.
Lisa Kudrow launches improvisational comedy series, …
Therapy definition within the media, represents therapists, family marriage counseling, psychotherapy and counseling and many more, as people, who work on issues but, who also have their own issues. Take a look at the list below;
Therapists depiction within the media:
Sopranos: Dr Melfi. Depressed alcoholic
In Treatment: Gabriel Byrne. More dysfunctional than his patients
Ally McBeal: Tracey Ullman. Controlling psychopath
Prince of Tides: Barbara Streisand. Sexual predator
Frasier: Frasier Crane. Fumbling neurotic obsessive
Silence of the Lambs: Hannibal Lecter. Cannibalistic
OK… So why represent therapists as either an old fashioned Freudien type, or one who suffers with depression, alcoholism, drug addiction or even sleeping with patients. Some are even seen, as just a plain bundle of psychological fumbling and neurosis.
Could it be, that one of human natures characteristics, is to mock, that which we don’t understand?
Alternatively, could it be because the western world is made up of cynical and suspicious people who are intimidated by the imaginary idea, that therapists, are people who know more about us than we do ourselves?
Or is it just a fear, of really letting a stranger inside our heads?
