> I will assume that those who don't respond have one of the sexual disorders: homosexual, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgender. Please forgive me if disorder was not the right term, or if I'm out of line for asking this. btw, I consider any kind of sexual addiction to be an obsessive compulsive disorder, including straight people.

> Isn't all addiction a compulsion?I find the term "sexual disorder" offensive -- homosexuality has been stricken from the DSM since the 1970s.
It is not a pathology, or the thousands of practicing homosexual psychiatrists would have pathology themselves. That's a little circular.
Since it is not in the DSM-IV-TR as such I would appreciate personally that it not be referred to as such or lumped together with any other "sexual disorder" including bestiality, necrophilia, or other such things.
