well duh. you said we met at a bar.; I don't meet girls at bars. I meet girls at fancy desert places. girls with class who just want a pieve of cake. I'm willing to buy a piece of cake to get myself a piece of pie

heh, well, I tried. Figured you'd at least respond. Then again, I guess I should have known that nobody is going to give out any information to get an AIM name from a bar meeting.

Wow...this is really funny. Look at the stuff over a 8.0 vote. Some of the conversations is NSFW, but it's words only.

yeah.....really it's a lot easier to ge laid when you know where to go. and it's also with classier girls when you go to fancy schmancy shops.

You want really easy, head over to San Fran. When I was in Sex Addicts Anonymous up there I heard guys (straight as well as gay) talk about "sex clubs", which apparently were places for like-minded people to hook up and have easy, casual sex. Some of these guys were trying to get off these clubs like they were heroin.

I could see why. With a free supply of easy women, that would be very hard to get rid of that type of addiction. Sex is just another drug, after all.

I don't think so. "Process" addictions (videogames, sex, dangerous activities, etc.) have seemed to me to quite different than substance addictions, and I've met quite a number of people with each (or both).

I am not very addictable to substances, but I go for a lot of the process addictions as if they were substances to another person. Obviously, I have had (and very occasionally still have) my issues with pornography, but I also had to give my boss my copy of Warcraft III recently and tell him "give this back to me when we're done with this project", because after buying it after a 2-year hiatus, all I did when I got it was play it for three days in a row. This is the kind of thing you usually more often hear about in AA meetings - i.e. "I was dry for ten years, had a drink, and the next day I was in a hospital".

I mean, both can be destructive, but you can't kill yourself from an OD on games OR porn. I suppose the Korean internet cafe guys who've killed themselves from dehydration might be a counterexample, but I think there are some big differences there.

For an entertaining look at sex addicts, go read Palahniuk's Choke.

I've had about all the entertaining looks at sex addicts I'd ever want - in my experience, not too many of them are tremendibly entertaining. "Suicidally depressed" would be a better description for a large number of the ones I knew.

However, doesn't mean the book wouldn't be good. What's it about?
