What is sex addiction New York-based sex therapist Mavis Humes Baird defines it as any sexually related activity that is having a destructive effect on your life. Dr. Michael First, professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia University, says that while MRI studies suggest that gambling addicts react to the blackjack table in the same way that cocaine addicts react to a line, there are no comparable studies for sex. "It's a biological process, and there's a limit to how long you can do it," he says. "So the analogy breaks down."

How do you distinguish between a strong sex drive and a condition requiring medical attention? now thats what the professionals say what do you say (646) 478-3483 to call and be heard
