passion v. obsession: SEX

Okay today I’ve been mulling over the many cases of adultery. Fun subject. Well I was wondering the difference between being passionate about sex and just good ol’ obsessed.  So does cheating on your significant other make you obsessed with sex? Or does your “other” partner just offer something more?

I think maybe that somebody seeking more passion in their sexual life may be driven to try new things with new people. That doesn’t make them obsessed, just unsatisfied. What got me on this subject was a recent case between a couple that are friends of mine. He went off and she found out. Not a happy moment but he was very kind and told me his side of the story. She screamed obsession he countered that he was unsatisfied with her unwillingness to try new things, to fulfill sexual desires, reluctant to act on “hot” impulses.  Obviously their relationship ended in bad taste.

My view is that this is one of the few i say are in a gray area. The few times I’ve been around the cheating and sneaking it hasn’t been any sort of obsession just a lack of passion in their previous partners. Sad as that is. But I’m unwilling to say that it isn’t obsession because thats possible to, some people just have no control.
