Is Tiger Woods a Sex Addict?
At www.sexualrecovery.com, I learned all about what a trip to Sex-Rehab might actually entail. First off, this particular “resort” offers treatment for a wide range of sexual addictions including “Porn Addiction” and “Strip Clubs”. There is also a handy little quiz for finding out if you are indeed a Sex Addict with questions that are almost exactly the same as if you are testing to see if you are Gambling Addict. If it costs you too much money or time, you might be an addict.
I think Tiger’s situation might be a little different than the typical sex addict. Of course he cheated. He is one of the richest athletes in the country and is indubitably a target for money-grubbing prostitutes every single day of his life. Does that make him a sex addict? I’m not so sure. The costs of his “mistake” are enormous- the Mail estimates that it cost his sponsors 8 billion pounds. Tiger’s shiny-clean reputation with Focus on Family is also forever tarnished, but does that really put him in the same league with a Charlie Sheen or a Bill Clinton?
And, realistically, what could a Sex Addicts program do that public humiliation and a fall from grace could not? Is there really more incentive for Tiger to stay away from extra-marital sex than there is already? I don’t think so.

Is Tiger Woods a Sex Addict?
To label Tiger a sex addict, must be left to the professional and to Tiger. One must look at the whole picture,and a serious question.Did Tiger indulge in such activities before large sums of money became apart of his life? If so, only then is it questionable to say with caution; however, if he did not have such activities going on before the money, to think with caution would be advised. Perhaps it is a case of indulging and enjoying different flavors of women, does that make him an addict? Examine at our history, all history for that matter, great men of the past have always indulged in having more than one relationship. Of course they were never disgraced because they were considered worthy of this! Although in Tiger's case he painted a picture of himself that he wanted society to see him as, which was a mistake. It would have been true reality, had he just been the real Tiger and excepting him for who is, would not be an issue for society, only for him. Reality has a way of redirecting your life. A great fall is really all he needs to get it right with himself not a sex addict program. Althought it may do good, which remains to be seen and only by Tiger.
hmmm
Hmmmm, I agree that the cash was definitely a factor and seriously wonder whether sex addiction is a real phenomenon or not. I think we have to draw the line somewhere with the word "addiction".
Tigers addiction
Yes, in some individuals lives having large sums of cash makes a difference in the decisions and how they percieve themselves and gives them options as how they will behave. This is why the question is posed,would he have made different decisions or could he have been a different individual had he not had the availablity of cash? Then, and only then would it truly be considered an addiction. Nothing to stand in the way of his true self.
It's tough to say what the
It's tough to say what the rest of us would do given the options he had...
It is tough to say what Tiger...
I agree, it is tough but, however, when Tiger portrayed himself as someone he truly wasn't, that is the ficitious life he created to appeal to society, when he could have just as well, been true and lived the life of a womanizer,and still to this very day maintained creditability for himself. That is what is at stake here, is his creditablity as a man, husband, and businessman. It was one of those mistakes that is going to take some time to repair, he will over come it with time and patience. Thanks
