Question 3

Where did "Megan's Law" come from? How is "Megan's Law" applied in communities?

Accepted Answer

Like any type of addiction, the defining point is whether the behavior in question can be stopped. A person who enjoys having lots of sex, but is not obsessed about having sex, would not be considered a sex addict by definition. A related controversy is the double standard between men's and women's interest in and frequency of sexual behavior. Men who have a lot of sex are often seen in a positive light, in terms of "guys being guys" or just showing off their "stud" prowess. Whereas women who engage in much sexual behavior are often viewed negatively, reflected by terms such as "slut" and "nympho." What distinguishes someone who enjoys sex from a sex addict? And is someone seen as a "slut" in some ways also seen by society as a sex addict? Where and how are the lines drawn?
