[edit] Merge Sexual addiction with Pornography addiction?

See discussion

[edit] Non 12-step therapy

"Research about recovery from sexual addiction has indicated that 12-step meetings are important for success. Those who do not attend 12-step meetings have a much more difficult time recovering, if they do at all."

It,s only an author's personal opinion. Notice that Carnes' resarches includet only 12-steps meetings members, so they were all convinced, that if they don't attend meetings they will fail. Carnes didn't consider those, who choosed other therapy methods (eg cognitive-behavioral therapy), or those who overcame addiction on their own.

[edit] Cleanup

I tagged this article for cleanup on 22 Jan 2007 due to phrases such as:

So to be clear, sexual addiction is addiction of a sexual nature. In which the sexual method of arousal, stimulation, etc. becomes a compulsion with withdrawal syndromes if it is taken away for too long a period of time.

These sentences, and several others in the article, are clearly grammatically incorrect and non-encyclopedic.
