(This is where confusion arises over whether or not one can be “addicted” to sex. In contrast to sex-addiction promoters [TV-based celebrity counselors, for instance], Pfaus insists that there is no such thing, and that what looks like sex addiction is really a version of obsessive-compulsive disorder. A man who masturbates five times daily isn’t addicted to it; he’s become obsessive about achieving five orgasms a day, which is, after all, quite a feat.)
