Why can't someone just love sex and not have been abused as a child?

Sheesh. Some people just love having sex, but people always act like you have to be molested as a child in order to have sex a lot. Give me a break. I find that annoying. She seemed to legitimately enjoy all of her sexual encounters. Is that the case for sexual abuse victims. I just hate when they always have to explain women with high sex drives with some deep seeded psychological issues.

Rant over.

It weakens us to not give our enemies the respect they deserve...

I agree with you in the sense that a person (man or woman) can enjoy sex a lot and it doesn't always have to be related to some past sexual trauma. However; if you are consumed with thoughts of sex all day and everyday, you start neglecting your career and family, and you never feel satisfaction after having sex several times a day, then this is certainly in the category of addiction. The same as a person can enjoy having a drink or going to the casino, but when it starts to consume your every thought and affect other aspects of your daily life, including potentially damaging your health and you are unable control your urges or stop yourself from partaking in these activities- even when you want to stop,then it most certainly is something that you have to seek help for and therefore in my book, is an ADDICTION.

The secret to a happy marraige remains a secret.

I actually agree. The molestation backstory kinda made me do an eyeroll. I was like UGH! Its just so cliche. Not every sexual woman was molested. GOODNESS

The difference is she doesn't just have a high sex drive. Everyone needs to read the book it's so good, finish in a day good. The movie was terrible, it did it no justice at all. :(

Yeah they should have left it at a horny housewife who likes to cheat and have sex. Makes better sense.

Actually there is a movie "Thanks for Sharing"
it has a female character who loved to have sex a lot, she was a sexual person
she wanted to strip for her boyfriend and have sex quite often
on the other hand there was another female along with couple of guys who wanted to have sex all the time with anybody and they couldn't control themselves
that is the difference between high sex drive and sex addiction, it was portrayed fantastically in that other movie
and she wasn't really after the sex in Addicted, she was after the thrill of cheating or doing it in a public bathroom as her husband was good in bed but sex with him was not thrilling.

It is never about what happened, it is only how you look at it!

This movie was about an addiction, but someone with a high sex drive. Not the same thing.
