Is the human sex drive a disorder? Apparently, in America, it is.
How is this determined? By medical evaluation or by moral values?

The human sex drive, is the same sex drive in all things living.
It is what keeps species growing in numbers. All species.

No matter what you do, you are not going to be able to control, or even manage another individuals sex drive. NEVER!
Just like a man has an internal program, to mate with as many women, as women will let them. It is the women that won't let them and their drive is too aggressive, it becomes a big problem in civilized society. Civilized societies, go to great lengths to control a mans sex drive, but never a womans. Many Middle Eastern societies, promote aggressive forced male on female, sex. It is the will of Allah for a man to force himself on a woman. Any woman. That is why women have no rights in Muslim based societies.

If money can be made from it, it's a disorder. A guilt disorder. Someone else's guilt imposed on the victims ego. And some ambulance chasing counselor is going to make a buck.

Primal activities... eat, sleep, defecate and screw. And someone is going to make a buck off a victim when possible.

Don't victimize, don't be a victim.

Humans aren't mice or monkeys. If sex is separate from love and relationship, there is a problem in my view, which is not to say that I think anyone should make money on that problem.

Making the sex drive a guilt disorder (moral values) seems to be the way it goes. No surprise, this seems to be an American view.I sure would like to see if anyone can condemn the sex drive by using medical evaluations.

I agree with tofurkey. Seems like a huge racket to me. I'd like to know how sex addiction is measured? I always thought if it became destructive to your life or you are out getting prostitutes etc or having affairs that is addiction. But regularly looking at porn or having a little collection or even googling hot women and having sex on your mind is hardly sex addiction. It's called being human. It's like a person that comes home and has a glass of wine after work vs. an alcoholic who can't even function at work because they are drunk. In many therapists eyes both are "addicts". Is masturbating regularly to porn an addiction? I don't think so.

I used to work for a publishing company that produced books about sex addiction. It's true: if someone can think it up, it's a disorder. File it next to 'acid reflux disease' (cancer is a disease; heartburn is a condition) and 'restless leg syndrome' (how un-PC to refer to a 'nervous tic!')

Pornography is a big problem in my view. No idea why some countries seem so obsessed with it.

Because your a woman, you have no clue how the human male mind functions.
The same goes for men, and what goes on in a females mind.

The same sexual instincts many mammals have, are the same characteristics of humans.
It is what makes the world go around.

The male brain is programmed on sex 1st. Food second.

A man in a desert for a week, no food no water.
Throw a steak and a beer on the table next to a naked woman, spread eagle. I can eat later!
