I’m not going to pretend like I understand this stuff. But, I give a lot of credit to astronomers and physicists for coming up with great acronyms like WIMPS and MACHOS that make science more accessible to the general public. Unlike other scientists (I’m looking your way organic chemists).
I wish this was true. (But it’s probably not)

Is Sex Addiction Real? Only if your wife’s not cool with it.
Is Sex Addiction Real? (CBS News)
This article isn’t great, but I love this topic.
First off, let me say that I define addiction the way Dr. Drew always did on Loveline: compulsively making bad choices in the face of serious consequences.
Sex addiction is the only disease condition where the individual decides if they have it.
For example, a catholic who masturbates once a week might feel completely awful about it and seek treatment. Where as a sailor, who spends long periods of time at sea, might see no problem with shacking up with a new gal in every port.
Assuming both these hypothetical lads use protection (or lotion), neither of them is facing any real consequences; only perceived or make-believe ones.
(One of my favorite books, that addresses the subject, has been made into a movie. Watch the red-band (NSFW) trailer for Choke.)

I had totally forgotten about Loveline until I read this. That was actually a really great show.

Oh Brandon! I haven’t had a chance to talk about Palin with anyone (other than to myself) and I neeeed to (and I’m pressed for time right now but it’s killing me). Are you going to be at the freeform discussion tonight? So. Much. To. Talk. About!

I had a tiff with someone at work today about this.
They we’re like:
“Why is it anyone’s business?”
And I was like:
“Because, she’s an abstinence-only supporting hypocrite and…**SNAP** Talk to the hand!!”
I’m paraphrasing.
I think I might make it tonight.
