Is It Really An Addiction?

There are many addictions….like drugs, booze adrenalin and of course that addiction that all men love to hear about….SEX ADDICTION!

It is fought with many different solutions….therapy, hypnosis, drugs (but that could create a whole new set of addictions) and just go about screwing your brains out…..every man looks for that perfect nymphomaniac to keep him smiling for a long time…..but there is a new study and research that may shine some light onto the subject…….

(Newser) – The term “sex addiction” might get tossed around a lot these days as a way to explain some not-so-classy behavior of the Anthony Weiner-Tiger Woods variety, but is it really an addiction on par with drugs or alcohol? The first study to explore brain responses in people who describe themselves as hypersexual suggests otherwise, reports UCLA. Researchers there showed the subjects—39 men and 13 women—sexual images, and discovered that their brains didn’t respond in the same way that, say, a cocaine addict would respond to images of cocaine.

“Most people describe high-frequency sexual problems as an ‘addiction’—that’s how the public and even many clinicians talk about it,” one of the researchers tells Slate. “But this data challenges the addiction model and forces us to reconsider how we think and talk about these problems.” The subjects have higher libidos, or sexual desire, but not necessarily a clinical medical problem. They still need help, but if further studies verify this first one, then the type of help they’ll get will be affected. All of which might be OK, writes Jillian Keenan at Slate. “If we turn every single quirk of human sexuality into a ‘disease,’ after all, then we’re all screwed.” The study is in the journal Socioaffective Neuroscience & Psychology.

Now I know my loyal readers will an opinion on this turn of events……speak up!

Italy Has A Ben Franklin

We have all heard the stories of the sex prowess of one of our Founding Fathers…..one Benjamin Franklin….some a true but most or myths that have sprung up around the enigmatic individual…..stories like his propensity to seek out women….his air baths in front of an open window in the nude……his being thrown out of the France court because he could not leave the ladies be and conduct the business he was sent there to do……like I said stories…most of which are myths or are they?

Enough about Ben…..across the pond there is another person that is giving Ben a run for his money….only this time they are not so mythic but rather more like reality……his name?  Berlusconi the head dude of Italy….he is NO stranger to accusations of sexual impropriety, but this time he may have been better off leaving his “johnson” where it belonged…in his pants……

Silvio Berlusconi‘s political career is once again in jeopardy after prosecutors today accused him of paying a “significant” number of women to have sex with him at parties he hosted last year.

Investigators also claim to have “ample investigative evidence” that Berlusconi provided flats for the women in return for sex at a Milan housing complex he built in the 1970s before entering politics.

He is already under investigation on suspicion of paying for sex with one of his guests, Karima el-Mahroug, a Moroccan belly dancer known as Ruby Rubacuori, when she was 17 – an offence under Italian law. He is also suspected of pressuring police into freeing her from custody after she was arrested on suspicion of theft last May.

Topless women dressed in nurse and police costumes stripped for the prime minister and his friends in his palatial residence outside Milan, which was described by one participant as “a whorehouse”, according to phone calls intercepted by investigators.

You have to give him his props……at 74 he is doing a lot better than I am….I guess it is true…..money talks and bullshit walks…….but you cannot buy love……that is true….but you can rent enough to keep you smiling for a long time……and Berlusconi has GOT to be smiling his ass off!

And The Dog Ate My Homework……

I have heartd some amazing excuses for a lot of things…but damn!…this one is the bomb.

Florida investigators say a man accused of downloading child pornography is blaming his cat. Keith Griffin of Jensen Beach is charged with 10 counts of possession of child pornography after detectives found more than 1,000 images on his home computer.According to a sheriff’s report Friday, Griffin told investigators that his cat jumped on the computer keyboard while he was downloading music. He said he had left the room and found “strange things” on his computer when he returned.

Your check is in the mail…….and I will not cum in your mouth……we can add one more to the list of greatest lies…..

Could Sex Be Addictive?

Teen sex is fraught with perils, and not just the physical kind.

While sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancy are the two most talked-about risks, a new book says young people having sex may want to add this to their list of concerns: teenage sex is bad for the brain.

That’s what the authors of Hooked: New Science on How Casual Sex is Affecting Our Children are saying, anyways.

In a message clearly intended to promote abstinence in youth, the authors of Hooked say that young people should wait to have sex until their mid-20s, once their brains have developed fully, and are in a “lifelong relationship.”

Otherwise, neurochemicals released during sexual activity may cause problems later in life.

During sex, a woman’s brain produces oxytocin and a male’s brain produces vasopressin, hormones that cause the sexes to bond with each other.

Both sexes also experience a dopamine rush — dopamine is a hormone that makes you feel good and rewards you for exciting behaviour.

However, for young people whose brains are susceptible to pattern-forming behaviours, that may set them up for a lifetime of seeking the thrill and reward from sex, and make it hard for them to attach themselves long-term to a partner later in life.

Well, if one must be addicted, IU think that sex is much more preferable than, say, heroin.  Just a thought.

Internet Blamed For Rising Addictions

“The American Psychiatric Association does not recognize the term sex addiction, because it’s so broad. So generally, the terms hyper-sexuality, sexually compulsive behavior are what get used, but it’s very much a real condition, and what the latest scientific research is showing is that all addictions, whether it’s an addiction to alcohol, drugs, gambling, or sex, affects the human brain in the same way. So, I think we can definitely say that sexually compulsive behavior is a very real problem for millions of people.”

And Kerner points to the Internet as a culprit.

“The Internet, I think, has been the No. 1 enabler of the increase in sexually compulsive behavior. Whereas, in previous years, you might have thought of a sex addict as somebody who’s compulsively cheating, hooking up, having affairs, I think today, millions more men are vulnerable — especially men — are vulnerable to sexually compulsive behavior because of the proliferation of Internet porn and the easy access of Internet porn. So, I think that’s definitely the No. 1 problem for people who are suffering from sexually compulsive behavior.”
