Tyra your show makes me sick to my stomach. I cant even explain how devasting your show is. Im not hatin on you, I enjoyed you in your acting career aswell as your stint on America's Top Model, but you hosting a show like the one you currently host is appalling. I cant remember everything that disturbs me about your show because I block it out and have not watched ii in a long time(yes!!) and probably never will again but my general disgust is how you operate the show and the topics and themes you choose to talk about. Although it is your job and it does not directly reflect you as a person... Im not even a Parent or Preacher of any sort but I find your show a complete disgust, on your show your seen as a hypocrite,an embarassment and degrading to mankind as a whole, I'd prefer if your show came on at 2-3 am or sum time like that because I rather let my kids watch Jerry Springer etc, than your show honestly. May you be blessed Tyra and able to change your ways or find another outlet for you to distrubute your smut other than on TV. I'd also appreciate it if you found time to check other message boards to see what they say about your show even youtube because it is obvious you have no clue at the amount of humans that feel the same way I do.

Dear Tyra, You probably never read these comments, but Im truley devastated by your show on sex addicts. My husband and I have will have been married 30 years in march, 2010. I am forty seven years old. I saw my life unfold before my eyes while watching this show. I can't go back now, this has changed everything for me. I havn't worked in about 10 years my father lives with my husband and I, he is 82. I take care of him. I just want to die, I don't think I can do this alone. Im too embarassed to tell anyone, like they would believe me anyway. Throughout the years my husband has been caught about once a year doing very compromising things, we have been to counceling. Every time something would happen he would beg me to stay saying that we were soul mates and he would change. I knew he had a problem I just didn't realize to what extent. No, we didn't make love on our wedding day. we never had sex, he was always to tired although i caught him at least once a day gratifying himself. I would cry myself to sleep every night. After your show I confronted him with it and he said he had been trying to tell me for a long time. maybe you can help me! mary

Sex addiction is very complicated, but there is hope if the addict wants help! There are many resources... www.freedomeveryday.org is one great one. I am a spouse of a sex addict and have seen great stories and sad stories. Thank you for bringing this out in the open! If there are any other spouses out there, make sure you get help for yourself!! Counseling, a group... it makes a HUGE difference.

I wish I could write Tyra personally to thank her so much for the "Sex Addiction" program. I divorced 15 yrs ago from a 20 yr marriage because I found out my husband had a sex addiction. As your guest, he never wanted me sexually - not even sex on our honeymoon.I thought it was me, I became sick, withdrawn,& was going to divorce him, no knowing what was wrong. He came clean, but wouldn't do the contract, continue the therapy, and he began to lie again denying his problem. I divorced him because he would not try to change & reverted back. But I could never tell others, and I have lost friends because they don't know why I left what seemed to be a great marriage, and hurt him and my children. Sex addiction is misunderstood, is so well hidden from society. No one knows why I had to divorce him. I can't tell anyone, & anyone I say the term "sex addiction" they think I thought he wanted sex w/me too much & it was my problem. I couldn't tell anyone his obsessive masturbation, etc. Your show helps me not feel alone and strange. How I wish others would understand what I live w/everyday. I still suffer from the knowledge and having no one else who understands.

I just want to say I do understand being a sex addicted. I am 23 and have had more then 80 partners. Part of it was because I acted out when I went though a bad break up and then just kept it up. Its like I cant help but to get more and more of it. Thats how I have to kids now. Plus I hate to say it but I have a double life almost cuz of it. I have two different boyfriends only cuz if i cant have sex with one I will go to the other one. I know I need help but I just dont know if I can really ask anyone for help.

Hey Tyra. I love your shows. I watch them everyday after school. Yes i am still in school. I am 13, and love tyra. But recently i have been noticing that your shows are becoming more for adults, and sex related. Being only 13 i am not allowed to watch these shows that you host. I dont like it, and i think you should become more child related. Because you have sooo many fans across america, and most younger then 20. Talking about sex all the time is not really a good influence. Can you make it more PG? P.S. I am not hattin. Love you tyra, Jenna

I was just wondering if the last guest on the show (Britney?) had left an email adress or something, I'm beyond touched by her story and went/am going through something similar, and having her be 18 and going on the show like that, sooo inspirational and demonstrates how incredibly strong she is.

I think we go in the wrong direction when we treat this as a disease or abnormal. It is natural for a man to feel sexually aroused with looking at women and desiring sex. The addict only has to realize the big difference between making love to someone who you are deeply in love with versus someone you dont know or love like a prostitute or escort (which is the same anyway). I was addicted for over 25 years which went quickly away by realizing that it is normal. And by not treating it so harshly I got over it. Its like that old monster movie of a creature that is destroying everything and the army is shooting at it to only find out the monster was getting energy from the bombs and bullets making it stronger. My addiction was not the only issue with my divorce, but my fiance has displayed no problem. By me telling her I had this problem. Its the way she says. "Honey! I love you and I know you are not perfect". Each time I'm with her or thinking of her gives me no desire to act out. Such unconditional love goes deep and is healing.
