[edit] Sexual addictions

Unreferenced POV fork of Hypersexuality, which Sexual addiction is already a redirect to. Delete and make a redirect to Hypersexuality to discourage recreation. -- Antaeus Feldspar 03:05, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Merge the section on addiction programs, with some editing for NPOV, and internal/external links, into Hypersexuality, and add a new section on views of sex addiction to Hypersexuality as well. Don't just delete; the term gets over 3 million hits on Google (they're relevant; look at the first page of hits). DDerby 09:06, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Yes, it's a term someone might search for, which is why I think that Sexual addictions should, like Sexual addiction, point to Hypersexuality. -- Antaeus Feldspar 11:50, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Er, no. Hypersexuality is a distinct medical condition, "sex addiction" is a questionable and controversial concept, with a question-begging name. Regarding this article: move to sexual addiction, and rewrite for NPOV. On re-reading the article: Delete -- it's unsalvageable twaddle from the bottom of the pop-psychology barrel. -- Karada 13:36, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • The section on addction programs is salveagable, along with the links, and could either be merged or flesh out a new stub at sexual addiction. DDerby 18:41, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
