Tiger woods

Addicted to sex my butt!!! As far as I'm concerned there is absolutely NO excuse for cheating! NONE! PERIOD! To be quite blunt, if the man can't keep his penis in his pants where it belongs when he's away from his wife, then he shouldn't have gotten married in the first place! I don't care who he is.

btw seiod..i love your ticker! lol

thanks!

I think addiction has just become a medical term for lack of common sense, willpower, and morality. We all have one in some form or another. I think the medical community just comes up with new words when they can't come up with anything else.

As far as Tiger goes, I could care less about him or any other celeb. I expect for them to have faults and they will always be magnified. No matter what they do, someone will have to make it bigger than it is. Example: Britney Spears trips while carrying her baby. Ummmm, call the child people cuz I dropped my kid more than a few times, lol! And I wasn't being chased by paparazzi when it happened. My point is, if we all had cameras following us 24/7, our mistakes would be picked up too. Imagine sneaking a pint of Ben and Jerry's into your grocery cart and seeing it plasered on the cover of every magazine with a photo of your *kitten* cellulite. Or a fight with a spouse, which is inevitable in any case, and what people make of it.

I think we put far too many expectaions on celebs. I know they are public figures, but we are not required to follow or admire them. They are in a business that depends on our reactions. We tend to react more to their negative actions, so thats where they make money. It a business, ya know. Sad and immoral maybe, but money talks in this country. People want money and most don't care how they get it.

I'm actually thankful to hear more about Tiger than I have been hearing about Kwamme. If you live in Michigan, you know what I mean, lol. Mainly I don't even bother with the TV. Its all garbage anyways. They form the stories around what we react too. We all say we'd rather hear good things, but our money says something else. If you had a choice to watch a documentary on saving Haiti every night at 7pm, or a celeb gossip show/trashy reality show, the later would have higher ratings. Sad but true.

Here is the problem. Our society has developed an attitude of sexual permissiveness. Additionally, our society has developed an attitude of acceptance for divorce. (And I am speaking as one who is on his second marriage)

When it is snickered at for a person to wait until the sanctity of marriage to enter into sexual relationships, the intrinsic value of sex is depreciated. When sex is referred to as "talking to" a person and a commitment is referred to as "dating," the value of sex is depreciated. When sex is treated as a casual form of entertainment, the value of sex is depreciated. The end result, you get people saying things like "It was just sex, it didn't mean anything." The problem is, sex always means something!

Add this to the concept of marriage being just a thing of convenience, and there is no society pressure for people to make it work, or for that matter to behave in ethical ways.

The whole philosophical movement of the post-modern world is based on deconstructing what was previously held to be true and important. So, when we deconstruct morals, we get a "what feels good to you" mentality. So, it felt good to Tiger Woods and Jesse James and all the other dogs in the world. They had no moral compunction to behave in an ethical manner, because the post-modern view of ethics is that there is no such thing as unethical or immoral.

Totally agree!!

@hollyroode - thanks for your perspective on his apology; I didn't watch so couldn't really say one way or the other if I thought he was genuine. I also like the rest of what you posted; gotta love how the media puts words into people's mouths to make the news and gossip more sensational.

Yes he is a role model for many young men, and he definitely acted poorly and used bad judgement and I absolutely don't condone his behavior, but the issue here is with the media! They need to drop it let Tiger and Elin work it out or don't rather than continuing to bring it up. We the public, don't "deserve" to know anything about their situation and they don't "owe us" any explanation, I don't care how famous they are!

Thank you.

All in all, throughout the gossip and media...Tiger Woods and Jesse James are not men. They are pathetic. To sit there woman after woman and use their bodies...which is exactly what they were doing...they weren't in love, they had nothing in their mind about these woman but as objects to satisfy their fantasies. AND every single woman KNOWS they were married men. These woman are homewreckers and LOVE it. Furthermore, why are these gorgeous smart woman STAYING with these "sex addicted people"... because they get "help"? I'm sorry ,but if I found out my husband's thing was in 14 different vagina's...I would never let him touch me again. These mistresses are porn stars and strippers for crying out loud...I'm sure they are all clean and I'm sure the cheating scums used protection 100% every time. YA RIGHT. Now Tiki Barber left his 8 MONTH PREGNANT wife for their 23 yr old Nanny. COME ON NOW! They have sites like Ashley Madison promoting people to have affairs. I am so tired of people thinking they can get away with cheating and if it doesn't work out they will just get divorced, oh well. It's so sad that Elin and Sandra ADORED their men, and they have been betrayed to the fullest. Tiger and Jesse could go to therapy the rest of their lives and still it won't take pain their wives will have for the rest of their long life. I love the cop out of sex addiction. Don't you think after, i dont know, the 6th woman, they would think...oh this is bad & i need help? Nope...they knew every aspect of what they were doing. Shame on this society. They made their bed, now lay in it. Or maybe they won't lay in it until another slutty bimbo is next to them...hmmmm.

There's a good deal of anger and righteous indignation in this post. I would like to suggest one thing though, if so many of us here at this website are here because of food addiction, then I see no reason not to think that there are people who suffer from sex addiction, so I don't think it's right to brush that off as "there's no sex addiction, just a-holes".

YAY YOU! This bit counts as pure win in my book.

I honestly do think he is truly sincere in his apology and is seeking help to recover from his addiction. I don't think its right to be disgusted at someone for their past?
Not logical. Get a heart. Accept his sincerity and move on. Its public, its humiliating, its over and all he can do is look to the future and hope/pray he doesnt make the same mistakes again.

I think he is sorry he got caught.....not that he did it. I think that anybody that cheats on a spouse is scummy and has no morals whatsoever. Can you tell that my ex was a cheater too?
