Secret Life of a Sex Addict

Overview

The sex addiction controversy: Is it a real disorder or just an excuse for bad behavior? Marcos is a husband and father — and self-admitted sex addict for over 17 years — who says he’s had more than 3,000 sexual partners and even began working in the porn industry to satisfy his addiction. His wife, Yvette, says her husband’s betrayal triggered her drinking problem, and soon, she too was having affairs. Yvette claims she’s a “love addict” and is obsessed with meeting men outside her marriage. Is there validity to their claims, or are they just behaving badly? And, can they repair the damage they’ve done and save their relationship? Then, Staci — another self-admitted sex addict — says she meets men in seedy hotels, public parks and behind bars just to satisfy her overactive sex drive — and has never said no to a proposition. She says she has even had sex with a stranger who called her cell phone by mistake.
