Had he lived out his life and had sex with 10,000 women (as Magic Johnson Exclamation was alleged to) without it being found out, would it have been a problem?


I think that was Wilt Chamberlain. Did Magic claim it too?

Maybe it was, but the point still stands. (It just seems so much more appropriate that it was a "magic johnson" rather than a "wilt." Laughing )

Well, originally, I was not commenting on Tiger so much but rather the blanket suggestion by some that "sex addiction" is just a pop term made up to excuse bad behavior. And while I will concede to the possibilty that the use of the term "addiction" may not be technically, clinically accurate, the compulsion can not be so easily dismissed as just bad behavior either, regardless of what you call it.

But hey, I don't discount the fact that bad behavior could play a big part in it also, and often people abuse their wealth and power. I seem to recall Clinton(who I like by the way) saying he did it "because he could".

But as for Tiger, I think there is ample evidence to suggest the guy had a big time problem.

Quote:
That being said, I am still not sure Tiger wasn't just being a jerk. People often refuse to consider or may not even be aware of the consequences of what are certainly in hindsight poor choices.


Perhaps, but isn't that also what a compulsion makes one do?

Quote:

So if he risked all he did, his marriage, his reputation, his sweet endorsement contracts, but somehow magically avoided being caught, no problem? Like if a tree falls in the woods, and nobody hears it ...............?

Quote:
Even if it were, isn't it a problem between him and his wife? OK, maybe and his sponsors, too, but that is only due to his celebrity status. But for his celebrity, why do we even care?


But I did not think we were commenting on the "newsworthy" aspect of this, only whether he truly had a problem or not.

Lots of people have extramarital affairs without getting into trouble.

OTOH, sexual compulsivity should be treated as should any other OCD. I am not saying an individual should ignore it if he is causing himself problems due to it.

I thought it would stop at the 18th hole, but I think the number of mistresses is in the twenties now.

Mr Woods is in a hopeless situation as there is no cure for overcoming the beauty of racially pure White women of European descent who are even in the multicultural USA are still the most popular women

Mr Woods problem is that his daughter wont look like his wife and his daughter and eveyone else will know that but as long as we are kept silent things will seem to be OK

Sex addiction isnt the problem but keep dancing because dancing because dancing is healthy


If only we were Tiger and had every white women in the USA and Scandanavia throwing themselves at us. *Sigh* The guy's a stud. Crying or Very sad

Maybe he'll come out with a cologne called Tiger. It would sell! Very Happy
