Sex addict men may have elevated levels of the love hormone

The debate over “sex addiction” is interesting. It’s not in the DSM-5 but you can use code F52. 8 13 “other specified sexual dysfunction”. I’m all for as much ethically research as possible and any interventions that improves lives. That being said, I’d be very worried about a “sex addiction” pill. Knowing the med system, they’d start throwing that at every sexually frustrated male who seeks mental health treatment

From an evolutionary perspective the strategy for a man to pass on his genes is to have sex with as many women as he can. Women on the other hand have the incentive to find a man that will commit to her, help her through pregnancy and the child rearing years.

Marriage and monogamy is essentially taking the woman’s side. We are asking men to not act on the urges that have been designed to benefit them. We should realize that the whole idea of monogamy, sex addiction, etc. come from a standard of what’s best for women, not what’s best for men. There is nothing inherently wrong with having a sex drive. We all exist because of sex. The continuation of the human race depends on sex. The idea men should be monogamous and not desire much sex is driven by what best suits women.

Obviously, men shouldn’t satisfy their sex drive by forcing women to have sex, but nobody should have to apologize for having a sex drive, not even a string one.
