Dr. Derek Freedman:

Addiction is repetitive use of a situation. Some people become addicted to sex as they become addicted to alcohol or cigarettes. The same mechanisms apply. Maybe one does not become addicted to sex quite as quickly as cigarettes. One can become addicted to cigarettes within 24 hours. In regard to boundaries, I do not have the expertise to advise on legislation. I wanted to give a background perspective that was different from what the committee has heard from others.
