"Oh, Monday Monday. Yeah, it was one of those weekends, the nocturnal type where you&amp;#x27;re out all night and sleep all day. To be perfectly honest, while I had a lot of fun it&amp;#x27;s a little depressing waking up on Sunday afternoon and realizing that an entire day of your life is more or less shot. Kind of makes me wish I had a lady friend to stay in with on Saturdays and enjoy a bottle of wine and a DVD. Although maybe I should get a TV and DVD player before I start looking for the girl. Baby steps, Ryan, baby steps. But enough moaning from me - let&amp;#x27;s talk about something fun. How about sex addiction? Yay!This weekend my homegirl Cha and I organized a joint birthday outing. Here we are celebrating the occasion with a pickle back, which is a shot of Jameson followed by a shot of pickle juice. Sounds nasty but it&amp;#x27;s totally delicious.We went to dinner at one of my favorite restaurants, a German spot in the West Village called Lederhosen. Tasty sausage and delicious beer - it doesn&amp;#x27;t get better than that, kids.Chillin&amp;#x27; with my girls. If you didn&amp;#x27;t know better you might think I had some game. In this Sunday&amp;#x27;s New York Times Modern Love column, Benoit Denizet-Louis starkly documents his extensive history of meaningless hook-ups and long struggle to regain control of his life. The article is a timely reminder that for all of the David Duchovny jokes we&amp;#x27;ve been subjected to recently, sex exerts an overwhelming pressure on some people. But is it possible to be addicted to sex? I&amp;#x27;m not sure. Unlike some of the men you know, regular - even daily - nookie sounds pretty great to me. I think about sex more than I&amp;#x27;d like to admit and my life feels emptier without it. But I don&amp;#x27;t spend hours every day trolling Craigslist for NSA hook-ups, which I suppose is what separates me from sex addicts. The question - as with everything - is where do you draw the line? How many nights on the prowl, how much porn, how many chat room visits before you&amp;#x27;re officially addicted? At what point would you need to have a talk with the guy in your life? Do you know anyone with a sex addiction?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
