MY sex addiction DID ruin my life and interfere with it! In fact, I am still suffering the conseqences from it even tho its been a long time for me. So no, it is NOT OFF--unless you are willing to say that there is no such thing as alcoholism, drug addiction, eating disorders, etc.

I was precisely making the point that alcoholism exists and I am very unsure about the existence of sexual addiction as a helpful term, see article above, but even if it does exist, what characterizes it is the ruining of life, and you confirm it. Married/unmarried partners has absolutely no significance.
Since when does morality figure in the DSM?? You need to be able to construct your arguments in a logical manner.
