Gardian Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I'm given to believe that a certain Mr T Woods has been attending a 'Sex Addiction Clinic'.Just wondering whether anybody here can give me an insight in to what goes on in such an establishment? Is it 1-to-1 therapy, or group sessions? Isn't this the sort of thing that Mr Terry has been participating in? OH tells me that all this is out of my league and that I should get a grip on myself. Am I wrong? Don't get any of this sort of thing down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mint Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Extract from article posted by TP:But Phillip Hodson, fellow of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, disagrees and says sex is about choices. He said: "We think that sex addiction is not a proper definition. "I mean it's up to you whether you go out and have sex with somebody. "You have a choice or you stay in and watch EastEnders." If the choice is to stay in and watch Eastenders, I think I'll settle for the sex addiction [6] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Coeur de Lion Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 If it was Eastenders or sex with my first wife, Eastenders wins everytime!!! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsy Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I knew a sexual adviser once. He used to say "When I want your f***ing advice, I'll ask for it!"[:P]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swissie Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Perhaps ask on a golfing Forum.BTW, here the word sac is used pejoratively to say somebody is a twit (+vowel change) - : Quel sac celui-là!Or for fed up 'j'en ai plein l'sac''If your query is genuine, I am sorry I don't have any advice- but I do hope you find help. Bonne chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardian Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 Alright, alright. You don't need to tell me twice. Just like Mrs G ............... no, come to think of it, she tells me 3-4 times (minimum). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Oops, Gardian, sorry, don't know how the post got duplicated.Anyway, about this "genuine" problem you have, don't be reluctant to seek some help for it, will you?[:P] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tegwini Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 If you ask me a 'sex addiction' clinic is just pure self indulgence and a load of tosh!As for 'addiction' - this is just an excuse from a celebrity who hasswallowed all the flattery from the syncophants and hangers-on, and heobviously thought he could walk on water, which he can't !If Tiger can't keep his pants on as a disciplined, and very successful sportsman, then is there hope for Joe Bloggs ? Tiger should rather regret that he was flattered and taken in by a pile of tarts, some of whom made money selling their stories. Sad really, that the media is willing to pay for such stories, or that Joe and Josephine Bloggs are willing to pay to read them ...There is so much money at risk, and so many people depending on making money on his coat tails, that he was persuaded to make that statement yesterday. And that too, was in my opinion, total cr@p, and clearly written by someone else, and all in thhe cause of making money again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
