Hey I'm also a sex addict in recovery! I think a lot of people are, they just don't realize it because our culture justifies promiscuity as a normal thing w/ no repercussions. But as I and many of you have probably come to realize the sex act has significant effects on us emotionally, physically, spiritually,etc. Tragic how our society has cheapened it and the evidence is overwhelming. Over 50% of marriages end in divorce. Over 50 million abortions in the last 40 years. The breakdown of the importance of stable family values. Large amounts of infidelity in marriages. All of this has an impact on our culture and the health of society. But I digress.
