Description

A man shot and killed eight people in Georgia and now might claim sex addiction as the root cause. In this episode, we take on the idea of sex addiction as a real thing but also as an excuse. A canceled skunk makes a brief appearance (but only in the title, because he is cancelled, Marc!!).

If you suspect that you or someone you care about has an issue with sexual addiction there is help.  SAMHSA’s National Helpline – 1-800-662-HELP (4357)
