For most, sex addiction and love addiction seems impossible. But there is such a phenomenon. It is not just merely insanely stalking a person you especially like. It is an illness, probably a mental illness that entails compulsivity when it comes to sexual activities and having numerous partners, and being fond of casual sex and self gratification. Sex and love addiction is a progressive illness which cannot be cured but which, like many illnesses, can be arrested. It may take several forms—which includes, but not limited to a compulsive need for sex, excessive dependency on one or many people, or a chronic preoccupation with romance, intrigue, or fantasy, an obsessive compulsive pattern, either sexual or emotional, or both, exists in which relationships or sexual activities have become increasingly destructive to career, family and sense of self-respect. Sex addiction and love addiction, if left unchecked, always gets worse.

T.V., the internet, twitter, facebook, alcohol, cigarettes, food, you name it. People are addicted. It is human nature to be addicted. Do we choose our addictions or do they choose us? Is it in our genes? Who knows? But the fact our nation is addicted remains. National addiction to love. National addiction to the soap operas of other people’s lives. National addiction to the tragedies of the day we find on the 10:00 news. When does it become an addiction? Today we face as a nation, the ever growing fact of technological over-stimulation. With the bombardment of information inherent in the invention of the internet, the nation has become addicted to, what else, information. But that is human nature right? Even biblical nature. Eve ate from the tree of knowledge, and ever since, mankind has been hungry for more. We, as a nation, cannot get enough information! It runs our lives! Since we now have a host of information at our fingertips, we have begun to ask even more questions.
