Comments on: Sex Rehab With Dr. Drew on VH1. Sex Addicts? For Real? http://welcomebackrosenthal.com/sex-rehab-with-dr.-drew-on-vh1.-sex-addicts-for-real David Rosenthal on movies, TV, comic books, Chicago, computers, and even home renovation Wed, 10 Mar 2010 00:22:25 -0600 http://wordpress.org/ hourly 1 By: Dave http://welcomebackrosenthal.com/sex-rehab-with-dr.-drew-on-vh1.-sex-addicts-for-real/comment-page-1/#comment-749 Dave Mon, 07 Dec 2009 05:01:40 +0000 http://welcomebackrosenthal.com/?p=1205#comment-749 Hi Katherine Oh no problem-I mentioned in an email to Ryan I'm not trying to play Solomon. ESPECIALLY for heavy weights in the industry and me being in some remote corner of the internet and nobody really knowing who I am, just kind of a weird thing. And also why I just decided on a "read only" policy on other people's sites and pulled away in 2008 until now from comment sections and forum replies. Then in 2009 I even stopped writing about money stuff, just 3 or 4 pieces; it ended up causing me a lot of hassle. But thank you very much for your encouragement. I'm reluctant to use the word in English, but my "master" in Japan is a chiro too. When I was living over there it consistently cracked me up to see him destroy people at night and repair people during the day. As for TV, well what can I say? I'm a "downloader" since I can't stand watching shows in "real time." Not to mention the Making Money Online thing at my level is and all consuming monster! So since I watched the first 2 seasons of this show I feel compelled to follow through. In fact it's 11pm on Sunday as I type and that means it's time for the show.......... Hi Katherine

I'm not really a TV watcher , just the occasional documentary and to be honest a few shows like NCIS and CSI. I'm currently on sabatical from TV altogether as I periodically just have the cable turned off and watch movies from Netflix. I think this would probably be a fairly interesting series though, considering the subject..although reality TV is my least favorite type of program. I get enough reality to keep me busy! Just wanted to say hi. You have a very interesting blog and I'm very impressed with the anthropology degree! I'm a chiropractor and an artist in my other life. Sorry for the lioness moment! Thanks for making things right. :-) Hi Dave. I’m not really a TV watcher , just the occasional documentary and to be honest a few shows like NCIS and CSI.

The type of person with a sex problem usually has other problems. Fame seeking at all cost tends to coincide with "boundary issues" as Dr. Drew might say. So they're more than willing to get a some exposure (the old any press is good press) at the risk of looking weird. Trust me, I MYSELF was in showbiz for like 20 years hahaha and I'm more Koo Koo than a Koo Koo Clock, look at my hair... Hahahah

Oh yeah I actually DO think it's real, I just couldn't believe they made a show about it. Sex addicts in the Mormon community would be a surprise-but the idea of people who would go into showbiz <em>and </em>have that need to be loved by strangers would ALSO have other issues like a disproportional sexual sense is, as they say, par for the course. No surprise. So a whole show about it? But what HAS surprised me is the relatively slow start. Last year when I wrote about <strong>Celebrity Rehab</strong> and <strong>Sober House</strong> I had a flood of traffic to read the pieces, and yeah I've been slow to get the pictures up, but not so many readers on the sex thing. Could be; EVERYBODY thinks they're a sex addict themselves and not really interested, or could be the low wattage of the "stars" of the show... Hey Tonya
