In my opinion, an addiction is anything that interferes with your daily life and responsibilities, something you need in order to function properly, and takes precedent over your priorities.
People can become addicted to anything. It's not limited to sex, drugs, cigarettes, alcohol.

Last year I did about 150 rounds which was a personal record. This year it might only be about 120 rounds.
Still not bad but if it hadn't rained so much I would gotten more rounds out of my golf membership.
Ain't that the truth. perhaps Robin Williams was right. Making decisions has become a whole lot easier.
Yes there is such a thing as sex addiction.
here is some information

everyone who is or thinks they are a sex addict is welcome
hobbying in itself is not evidence of sex addiction. It is whether it is ruining your life!

No. But Keep Coming Back.
Here's a questionnaire:

And, I believe the question asked was whether sex addiction is a Medical Condition?
I Believe it is, any addiction is made up of compulsion and obsession. And it affects the victim physically, mentally and spiritually.
The real question is will the medical ndustry recognize sex addiction as an official disease? cause if not, no insurance company would pay for treatment, let alone loss of wages etc. That's why they don't want to list it as a disease.
So, for people who need treatment, they treat the surrounding symptoms like depression rather than the real problem.
If it was a medical condition, And, as stated above, we are all sex addicts, we'd all be off on long term disability so we could get paid to jerk off all day.
Why is it that churches think too much sex is an addiction? A lot of these meetings are in churches. That's one of the problems I have with the church. When you are deeply involved in it, as is my wife, it seems that sex is not something they practice too much. What's wrong with sex?
To quote from SAAToronto, 'SAA, is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other so they may overcome their sexual addiction and help others recover from sexual addiction or sexual dependency'. This is total nonsense. The Ontario liberal voter is addicted to liberal waste and corruption, yet there is no group out there trying to help them. The Ontario government controls liquor, cigarettes, gambling, and soon to be weed. All addictions. And they still do it. Time for the churches to rise up and condemn the government for contributing to these addictions.
Some guys spend 5K a month on escorts. That's an addiction whether it's physical or mental.
what if they spent the same amount on a different hobby, like horses or race cars, would that immediately be an addiction?
Yes, addicts turn hobbies into addictions. Just like a lady I knew who had a shopping addiction, hundreds of pairs of shoes and a new outfit every day, but couldn't pay the rent. That's a problem. And there probably is a 12 step fellowship for that too.
We have another addiction around here, people who have online forum addition, some can't stay away and have to comment on everything. Or some who stalk certain Lady's, we normally call them trolls, but really that's another form of addiction. It's a sickness.
