2. hmm, he has never struck me as a "Method" actor - j/k
that's very unfortunate. He always seems so sane. :(

25. I thought I was a sex addict once. Then I realized
I was an attention addict...which is why I became an exotic entertainer.

I'm serious...I am not meaning to make light of sex addiction. My ex fiance was quite addicted.

But at the same time... Damn! This will probably kill the hopes of many of his fans. :P

19. He had this problem at the beginning of his career
Which is probably why he got his first role in The Rapture.

Californication did him in. What a rotten show.

28. Let's not trivialize this.
It's risky behavior because there are probably 1, 2, or 3 other women involved that look much like the one in your photo. You can imagine that after your second fivesome of the night, that liver failure or an aneurism is a possibility.

Poor David. How many hundreds of fivesomes has the poor guy suffered through?

You can't even control what song plays next. I think it would get old pretty fast.

29. This is like the"warning" on the Viagra commercial
"Seek medical attention for erections lasting 4 hours or more"

Medical attention? I'll be seeking a lot of things, but a doctor ain't one of them ;-)

35. Poor guy
Edited on Fri Aug-29-08 09:39 PM by ismnotwasm
From what I understand of sex addicts it's pretty messed up thing to have. It's like heroin, nothing better until it damn near kills you, your life is ruined, or you watch a friend OD, and realize you're thinking, "what a waste of a dose"

What's a bit scary, is sometimes the the "sex addict" diagnosis is a cover for something more heinous.

I like they guy's acting, I hope things work out for him

38. I wish the guy well...
I can only imagine the shame & humiliation the poor guy feels. For him to subject himself to the ridicule, it must be something very serious affecting his life. I feel sorry for him but go ahead and make fun of him.

Sincerely,

SKIPPER OF THE SHAME PATROL
