Austin Escorts: Sex addiction is big business for US clinics
Michael Johnson, a sex addiction specialist from Austin, Texas, said a real cure is only possible in about two years, “sometimes longer than that.”
Mainstream medical experts are cautious discussing the issue and the American Psychiatric Association does not recognise the disorder as a true illness.
But Johnson said that compulsive, unrestrained sexual activity causes harm.
“In my practice there are people who are not as prominent as Tiger Woods but successful people that put all their life at risk,” he said.
“Woods is an example: look at what he put at risk, he was on the top of the world and doing foolish things.”
Another example was New York’s high-flying governor Eliot Spitzer, who resigned in 2008 after it was revealed that he was repeatedly visiting prostitutes, paying up to $US5,000 ($A5,543) at a time.
