Due to easy access to internet pornography and recent sex scandals involving celebrities such as Tiger Woods and Jesse James, treatment for sex addiction is booming. More and more people are seeking help for the disorder, and rehab facilities are popping up all over to treat those in need. But can an individual really be addicted to sex? Some professionals say no, after all, it is not even considered a legitimate psychiatric diagnosis. Those who are in the field and those being treated for sex addiction beg to differ.
