I've seen this term bandied about, typically by hormone-crazed 19-21 yr-olds.

But is it a real "disorder"? Like on the same scale of say, alcoholism? Is it recognized by Those Who Officially Recognize These Things?

I would think that a person would not actually be addicted to sex, per se, but to using that as a substitute for something that is missing in their lives. With alcoholism, drug addiction, etc., it's a chemical...physical addictition. I guess this could be considered a mental addiction, but then I guess anything in the world could be slotted into the "sexual" part of that equation.

Is a mental dependency on a physical situation correctly identified as an addiction?
