No, I wasn’t just picking two things that start with the same letter as I began typing this. These two are related, somewhat. Kind of like pregnancy and pickles.

I think anyone can list at least one celebrity/famous person that has ‘suffered’ from a sex addiction. Tiger Woods tends to come to mind for me. Mostly because he was in a seemingly happy marriage with a wife that (also, seemingly) couldn’t wait to bang him. I mean, who wouldn’t bang Tiger… he’s a pro at handling a stick.

Did I get that right? Any sports besides Hockey & Volleyball just make no sense to me.

More to the point, Tiger’s wife, Elin, is a hottie. Not a doubt comes to my mind that she has an entire list of much too attractive men ready to give it to her. So why cheat? I mean I get the need to have sex (I know, it’s earth shattering, women want sex too *GASP*), but I don’t get the need to cheat. I imagine that banging a new woman would be much like banging a new guy – uncomfortable, unfamiliar, maybe exciting, or maybe really frikkin AWFUL. Why risk the *hopefully* awesome sex you’re having on a *hopefully* regular basis with your current lover for something else that although new could be potentially AWFUL?

I will never understand cheaters. Not that I don’t know any, I know quite a few as I’ve recently discovered and I’ve had long discussions with all of them as to WHY bother in the first place- and the one thing I’ve discovered is that it comes down to fear. Mostly, fear of never being with anyone else aside from the person you’re with. Now, some people, such as myself are excited by the premise of loyalty and consistency. Others, apparently, not so much.

I don’t think that calling it a Sex Addiction is accurate. Being addicted to sex wouldn’t alone make you stray. It’s kind of like when you’re in the grocery store and you usually buy saltines but one day you’re like “I want to try something new” so you buy some ridiculous cracker or cookie that you later realize is not nearly as great as the classic. But the next time you’re at the grocery store – saltines are all sold out. Now I realize I’m comparing your significant other to salty crackers – but let’s be honest.. it’s not far off.

I guess my point with all this salty ranting is that you shouldn’t give up something great for the unknown. It’s never as good as you think it’s going to be.
