Would it be unethical to continue having sex with a person that has a problem with sexual addiction once you know about it?

How do you mean? Are you talking about people that cheat and use that as an excuse or just people that go about screwing loads of people?

I'm talking about people that have a real problem with sexual addiction. Addiction is defined by how it affects the other parts of a person's life. Their job may suffer because of their addiction for example.

if you're expecting any kind of monogamy (and I believe you would not be from things you've said on here), that probably won't happen.

If the individual really is diagnosed and undergoing treatment, it would be like pressuring an alcoholic to drink; not admirable.

This person has issues they need to deal with. If possible to just be a friend an ear and a shoulder....those are the best body parts to be sharing at this point....:wink:

I actually don't know anyone with this problem, I'm just asking because I think it's an interesting topic to discuss.

OK I thought you were discussing yourself....lol :wink: laugh


I getcha...really it's a matter of whether someone is joking saying they're a sex addict because they like sex - go for it


but if it's someone with a real problem it depends on if you'd want culpability....just giving my .02

I agree, it is an interesting question...I guess it would depend on that person's personal code of ethics and maybe on the texture of the relationship and the stability of the addict....See, this is why it's an interesting question, lots of variables!laugh Good one Scoundrel!drinker

It is a tough question if you are already engaged (I mean intimate with them). Cutting them off then would be like punishing them.

it is that persons problem, right? But, I suppose I'd be taking advantage her her addiction.

If she was addicted to giving away money, I don't think I'd take it.

If you were intimate before you knew...you kinda carry some responsibility for helping them out. That would be better for them than blind liasons from people they meet in bars.

Like I said, it's a tough question. If you knew first, you should not be intimate because then you are taking advantage.

right and it's pretty much the same thing

when the kindergarten style tittering stops because we are talking about S-E-X, the reality can set in that it would be akin to providing an alcoholic with 4Roses....flowerforyou

Maybe their job is boring?

If a person is a workaholic and it's effecting their sex life is it unethical to give them a job?

I think it's a Personal Choice thing; when yu're Uncomfortable with Something, don't Stick Around.

yes actaully it could be. but I'm not certain if workaholic is a real diagnosis or just a coloquialism


sex addicition is real. unfortunately it usually affects a person's relationships moreso or as much so as their employment. Google is your friend

Knew a girl in high schoolnoway who had this problem...The boys called her a nympho...the jokes were cruel...She got pregnant in her Junior year by a man who was ultimately killed in a hunting accident...Tragic story....sad2

Big deal. Like I need Google to tell me that psychological addictions are "real".

Does a person with a gambling problem need a doctor to give them a diagnosis? Not really but they may be in denial about it.

Addicts make excuses and blame other people. That's what they do.
