And I’m tired of the pseudo-psychological explanations about sex addictions that can be cured with a few weeks of rehab, the same way every politician who gets himself caught diddling with an intern or another man suddenly discovers his inner alcoholic, sexaholic, or whatever he can find a brief course of “rehab” for so he can earn a second chance. Just for the record, you can Google the science behind those “addiction” programs (my personal favorite is the guy who gets caught for dallying with male prostitutes and checks himself into an alcoholic rehab center — as if getting drunk brings out your inner homosexual), and you won’t have an easy time locating it. The whole “sex addiction” literature is a scientific shambles. Drew Westen
