to clarify:
sex addiction is not the same as being gay or bisexual. my ex was a straight man, who did the bathroom/park thing as an easy way to "get high" and get a fix.
he used to say men are easier than women. cheaper too, don't have to pay for a date. sex addicts are opportunists. all you have to do is go to the "family rest room" at the local mall. and wait.
my ex used to have to "act out" 8-10 times a day. "he's in the bathroom AGAIN!"
sex addiction is not about gay or straight.
here is a good definition from the point of view of a male sex addict.

"Sexual Addiction - What is it?
Sexual addiction is, in its simplest form, a normal sex drive that has become obsessive, to the point that behavior is out of control. Sexual addiction is referred to as a 'process' addiction, as opposed to a substance addiction like alcohol or drugs. In a process addiction, the euphoric feeling (or "high") comes from chemicals released into the brain, rather than from an external source. As the mind becomes accustomed to the release of these chemicals, it searches out for continued sources of that high. This could be from eating, the adrenaline rush of competition, putting yourself in dangerous situations, or from sexual stimuli. Sexual addiction can take on many forms, from the use of pornography and masturbation to repeated sexual affairs, patronizing prostitutes, and voyeurism. In extreme cases, sexual addiction can involve molestation, rape, and even murder. The many forms of sexual addiction have one thing in common, the behavior is done in secret, and the sex addict becomes skilled in hiding this secret life from those closest to him. "
my ex husband was clean and sober from his addiction and active in SAA from 1995 to 2005 which i why stayed and why we were so happy. then ironically it was an affair with a woman that lasted two years 2005-2007 that destroyed our marriage.
