Hi, I really enjoyed the show today. I thought it was great that people actually had the courage to come out and talk about something that is so embarrassing. As an addict I could relate to what a lot of the people were going through. I was disappointed with the quiz though as it ignored a lot of things that are previolent with addicts. It asks a lot of questions about sex with other people but it doesn't address the major issue of internet pornography. If you are reading this and you are wondering if you are a sex addict the answer is that you probably are. If you don't believe me than just stop the questionable actions for about a month. If you find that it isn't easy for you to do then you probably have a problem. Being an addict is doing something that brings you pleasure no matter how it makes other people feel and either not being able to stop or just having a really hard time stopping. Please disregard the quiz though as it is entirely inaccurate! Say I masterbate 3 times a day and never have sex with my wife. She is hurting terribly but I can't stop doing it. I don't have sex with strangers or even have affairs with people I know. The quiz would suggest I am not an addict and this would be incorrect. To all the people that are with an addict please don't think their problem has anything to do with you personally. I have been with women that other men drool over and still had the addiction.

Tyra I would just love it if you would do a show on couples that are maried and one spouse is from a another country. Because my husband is from Nigeria and the problems we have to deal with that other couples don't. I also have three sons too from my first marriage I know am not the only one. Thank You I hope you will consider it Celeste Oyom from New Phildelphia Ohio

Hey Tyra, I am engaged and we have been together for about 4 years now. I am not sure what to do because i found that he is coming home every day on his lunch to watch porn and pleasure himself. I am so disgusted with him that my sex drive is gone. I tell him all the time how he is making me feel, and he says no its normal i am not doing anything wrong..but i feel so hurt and betrayed. If it was once and a while i don't think that I would be so upset...but its everyday! I feel that he has a problem and I want him to get help, but I don't know how to go about it, because he does not feel that he has a problem. I just don't know what to do. I want to help him because I love him, but I don't know how much more I can take.
 
Wow, I turned tyra's show on today, and it is my life that I am separated from my husband about. He would tell me I was the sex addict, but according to the quiz, I am not.. although, I know that I feel like I am going through withdrawls from not being with him. He asked me to not come back home so he could have his "space". The couple that the husband starting to go to school was a dead ringer for our situation.. although he would deny it all. I have tried to help him get healed from this.. but I think he is happy to have me gone so he can live with this full blown.. and I worry where it will lead.. it has devastated me..It must be a living hellpit he can't get out of...please do more on this subject. It is an epidemic happening now. Thank you for opening eyes tyra.

Watching the show today made me sick to my stomach. For almost 3 years I have been with the same man. In those 3 years he has applied to be in pornos behind my back.. cheated on me emotionally and physically with women from the internet and watches internet porn and masterbates evertime he can. He owns his own business and actually stops working in the middle of the day to watch porn and take care of himself. He tells me that he's always been this way and has always had a "healthy" sexdrive. He tells me its not a problem because he isnt hurting anyone. He is though. Me. I dont know how to get past this or get him the help he needs because he does NOT see a problem. I love him and want him to be healthy. What should I do?

I was married for 10 years to a man, if you can call him a man. And all he ever did was hide and find times to be alone so he can please himself. He would not show any care for my feelings. I caught him so many times that I was thinking it was maybe something I was doing, or not doing but I know better now since I have divorced him, I am now in a great relationship with a real man. The craziest thing is that he has remarried and I'm sure this habit of his has not gone away.
