Jonathan Alpert is a licensed psychotherapist based out of Manhattan, and in addition to his appearances on CNN, CBS and The Today Show, he'll be giving X17online his input on the latest celebrity stories and scandals. So what does he have to say about Tiger Woods being a sex addict? Read on!
I hear a lot these days from people wanting to know what the scoop is with Tiger Woods and whether he’s a sex addict. I’m often asked if there is such thing or if it’s simply an excuse that celebrities and others use for cheating. So, here’s my take:
Boy meets girl, dates, cheats, gets caught, huge fight follows, he realizes his terrible mistake, she forgives, and they work on improving the relationship. Tiger meets girl, marries, meets another one, cheats, meets another, cheats, and so forth. There’s a big difference between the two: the former shows really poor judgment and is an isolated case of infidelity, while the latter shows a pattern of even worse judgment and difficulty controlling sexual impulses. This, along with an often larger-than-life sense of entitlement and narcissism, runs amuck in celebrities and portrays the same traits found in a sex addict. So sure, Tiger Woods seems to fit the bill and has become the new poster boy for sex addiction, but be careful ... it’s the diagnosis du jour as society and Hollywood are now quick to label every celebrity who cheats a “sex addict”...

Tiger Woods is not a sex addict. That's a cop out. What he is, is a weak willed man-child who had no respect for his wife and children. His father also cheated on his mom. Maybe he'll grow up a bit now, but arrogant is this one.
Alot of black men suffer from an addiction to white pussy. They just can't get enough of it.
Whenever I go out with my black married male friends all they ever talk about is sports and screwing women other than their own wives. Was kidda funny at first but the more I think about it the sicker it is....
He's not a sex addict, that is such b.s.! He has an overblown ego and believed he could get away with all this cheating. He shouldn't be in sex rehab, but ego rehab!
Most black men cheat. Deal with it people!
Its not an addiction, he just does it cause he can.
he just loves poundin that white meat with his huge piece of black meat
5:51 I heard he has a tiny one. He doesn't have a so-called "sex addiction". How stupid. He's just a narcissistic jerk who thinks he's special and entitled to get away with adultery with legions of women.
The only kind of addict there are,is a Fart addict.
People fart, cause they enjoy it and just can't help themselves..lol..
Tiger is not a sex addict; he's full of fart..lol..
