Is sex addiction a dangerous idea that needs to be taught against immediately?

There is no such thing as "sex addiction." It's another 20th Century pseudoscience designed to make people feel ashamed for having human urges and feelings. You don't have a disease just because you like sex no matter how many conservatives and feminists say you do. 

Update:

That's NOT what an addiction is. Thats like telling people who like to watch TV all day that they have an addiction to TV. Some people just have bad judgement and ruin their relationships and marriages because theyre irresponsible.

    Just keep your clothes on at all times. That'll help you avoid it. When you start getting funky at the of the week, put on "Play that funky music white boy", then find a huge washing machine and just jump in it. Walla,....clean clothes, no mess, and lust problem avoided. Then use a hair blower dryer to dry yourself off. Its a fool-proof gimmick but you'll suffer time in the process.

    it wouldn’t hurt to bring awareness to it. an addiction to anything is terrible, because you’re consistently relying on that source as an outlet. imagine the emotions that can arise from a lack of it once addicted:  sadness, hopelessness, and even anger. imagine what things a terribly sexually frustrated person would do just to satisfy themselves...scary.

  • What do you mean "taught against"?  I don't think anyone is for, or teaching for, sex addiction.

    I think any obsessive behaviour that interferes with your life could be an addiction.
