As long as the person with the addiction on acts on it with the other person in the relashionship! If they go somewhere else, then of course its cheating!

Sexual addiction is very real and the other person probably does suffer from it. Not always physically but mostly emotionally if they know you're addicted. It will make them feel like you are just in it for the sex (of course) and you never emotionally bond with them.

Yes, sexual addiction is very real and once the other party finds out about it, the emotional suffering can be VERY hard to take and recover from. You can't trust a sex addict - that's the difficult part. It's an addiction, like alcohol, drugs, etc. and no cure for it.

It is very real. Most times it does accompany cheating, after all, someone offering a sex addict to go home and sleep with them is like offering a crack addict crack...of course they will take it! The other party in a relationship suffers greatly from: --the pressure to have sex from the addict even under bizarre circumstances; --the overwhelming feeling of being used; --the feeling that there is something wrong with themselves because they don't feel like having sex all the time; --the pain and betrayal felt when the addict eventually cheats, and cheats again; You see the sex addict can be a wonderful person but so hard to love because they often emotionally abuse their partners to get what they want and become very hard to trust because of infidelities.
