about [[sexual obsession]], which she equates with [[sexual addiction]] because:
 +
#Addiction is a more accurate definition of sexual behaviors than are the purely psychological definitions.  
 +
#The addiction model offers us the possibility of understanding a range of sexual behaviors that have been subtly integrated into the society as normal yet not clearly discussed and understood
 +
#This approach offers us the opportunity of understanding the societal components of sexual addiction and the "commonness" of sexual addiction
 +
#It offers hope and the possibility of recovery.
 +
#This perspective allows us the possibility of understanding that sexual addicts are human beings who are hurting, who have a progressive, fatal disease that wreak havoc an others and often does.<ref>[http://www.amazon.com/gp/sitbv3/reader?ie=UTF8&p=S00K&asin=0062548735 Amazon online reader] </ref>
