Newsweek 'Sex Addiction Epidemic' Puts Woman, Not Weiner, On Cover.

In 1973 author Erica Jong dubbed them "zipless fucks."

Why is a woman on the cover?  Newsweek Facebook commenter

It's a male-dominated "addiction."  8% men; 3% women.  Maybe 15 mil "addicts." Dr. Patrick Carnes, the sultan of sex addiction.  Newsweek quotes "Harper" -- a "TV executive . . who found himself caught in the grips of sex addiction for four years."

If you look at the symptoms, Anthony Weiner should be on the cover, not some shadowed, shamed "love addict" babe.

The Sex Addiction Epidemic: Although Newsweek admits "about 90 percent" ("3 to 5 percent of the population could meet the criteria of addiction") of sex addicts are men, it appears the impetus for the piece is to convince women to admit they're addicted:

Addicts and therapists alike say they hope a greater awareness of the disease will eventually help addicts of all genders and ages come forward and seek treatment. Many are likely to find that “sex addiction isn’t really about sex,” . . .  it’s about “being wanted.”
