Honestly, though, I can't imagine an idea that makes less sense than SA. Compared to SA, AA is the best thing since sliced bread. We have an individual who cannot, or believes he cannot control his sex drive needs to solve his problem. What's the solution? Yeah, let's put him in a roomful of people who control their own sex drive, either.

There was a "Cheers" episode during its final season where Sam went to an SA meeting. The beautiful woman next to him told the group her story. She told about how she needed sex night and day, how it was all she could think about. Next it's Sam's turn. He says, "Hi. My name's Sam...Do you like Chinese food?"

In a similar scene from Just Shoot Me, Spade's character is at an SA

meeting where someone is " sharing " the torrid details of their " disease " when

someone else in the room says from the back: " not helping, NOT HELPING!!! " .

Gotta go now, heading downtown for an SA meeting to see if anyone needs a

" sponsor " .

Peace,

This was my experience Nate. Many of the women I met in SA and SLAA

were gorgeous, and continueed to dress attractively in short skirts.

Watching one stand on a chair to get the meeting materials down from

on top of a shelf got my sap rising. If you have refrained from

dating Five-fingered Fifi for a while it only makes it even worse.

There as another absolute stunner who used to wear figure hugging

tracksuits. She used to worry if it was ok to still snog a date and

wanted to write SA in America to find out! In the end she went on a

pilgrimmage over there and they protested that they couldnt bear to

have her in the meetings. when she got back tracksuits were out and

floppy, Islamic style black tents were in. In one SLAA meeting we

used to read from the personal stories and it used to turn the guy in

the room on - there was me and another guy who were practically

howling by the end!

The diagnosis of " sex addiction " has become popular with both lay

people and professionals in recent years. But it

is a destructive and irresponsible one that should be discontinued. In

21 years as a marriage counselor & sex

therapist, I've never seen a single case in which the label " sex

addiction " was clinically useful. That's because there

is no such thing. What we clinicians do frequently see includes: >>
