that behaviour could be considered an addiction when it controls the person rather than the person controlling it. To the extent that the 'addict' will take indulge in very risky behaviour, will feel compelled to indulge in their particular addiction, and will probably derive a lot less pleasure/satisfaction from it than they did when they began their association with it.
The risks one takes to achieve sexual satisfaction might be one way of looking at this question. In other words, if one is constantly operating way outside of one's risk tolerance, maybe addiction is the correct word.
..that the person could ask themself the usual '12-Step' Program questions (ie Alcoholics Anonymous, etc.) and check the responses.
Something that is an addiction or an obsession becomes out of alignment with the normal course of one's daily thoughts and deeds. The balance is off. I told an acquaintance of mine that I believed he had a sexual addiction based on that very thing. Someone who has to leave the office during normal business hours under the guise of personal or company business to quickly find someone to do a lap dance or blow job; leaves an important meeting/conference call to go to the men's room to jack off, etc is pretty clear indication. I have a very high sex drive. I'm sure that if my SO wanted it 15 times a day, I'd be all over it..BUT, my drive doesn't disrupt the normal course of the day. That's the difference..
Addiction implies the inability to control the need, and, rather, the need is controlling you. If some voluntary act becomes involuntary then you have an addiction. If there is a physical or emotional change when you do without, ie-withdrawal, it is an addiction, like drugs or smoking. I'm not sure what withdrawal would be for a sex addict.
"any behavior that becomes a preoccupation, seems out of control, in which a person often cannot predict when they will start or stop, and that continues despite harmful consequences."

they're the ones missing out on a real treat. Well, when I was single in between gf's I certainly jacked-off daily. I often go to bed thinking about my work and can't sleep - so I conjure up the flavor of the day and maybe 10 min.'s later I'm sleeping (of course in my mind we're both climaxing at the same time - so technically (in my mind) I'm not selfish). Or, if I wake up with a headache - repeat my recipe when I can't sleep and whalaaa both head's are magically clear.
I guess I'm getting carried away. My point is masturbating is good. Poor Pee-wee - I understand.
