CNN Article

I saw the link for this article floating around on Facebook today. Just some food for thought.

It explains a little bit about the chemical reactions that occur with sex and sexual stimulation. I'm not an expert by any means, but in my walk through this storm, I've learned about the nature of addiction.

What a lot of people may not realize about sexual addiction is that it's like any other addiction, in that the brain sends chemicals through the body that give a physical high in response to the stimulus. Once the body becomes hooked on these chemicals, it's hard for an addict to stop the addictive behavior (whether that's sex, nicotine, alcohol, etc.) because the body's chemistry has been altered.

The article has some interesting points, let me know what you think.
