Wow! I just reread some of the 'sex addiction' thread and found this:

Pablisimo has done a stupendous job of explaining exactly what I so clumsily flubbed up. This single post totally explains it. I agree with him 100%.
Thank you Pablisimo!
Might I suggest reading Pablisimo's most excellent post first, then going back to my original post that he was responding to.
Then check out Ashim's post right after mine, and Biu Tze's post right after that.
Isn't it amazing how the exact same words can be said, yet different people perceive them totally differently?
Edit: And more from Pablisimo:

Edit: I reread that whole thread, because the discussion was so amazingly insightful, deep, and respectful. Many people contributed to that discussion! One of Bring4th's best, in my opinion.
And incidentally, 6 men commented favorably about my specific statement, that was identical to what I said here that triggered such an uproar. 6 men! In addition to about 6+ more who said they loved the discussion overall. Not a single person was offended in that entire discussion. My point is simply that the same words can be construed differently by different people, based on their own biases and distortions.
And even more curiously, one of the participants in that discussion was Ali Quadir.
