I say yes because I am an expert in both areas, just kidding.
In my opinion its not the process so much that is the problem, its the outcome. For example, if one is engaging in compulsive sexual acts and or abusing drugs to the point where they feel they have lost control or feel continuous feelings of disgrace and guilt about their actions then there's a problem.
The viewpoint I feel that the article was trying portray was that just having sex everyday does not make you a sex addict. Sex addiction is comprised of compulsive sexual encounters that become self-destructive, unmanageable and are continuously acted out with no emotional fulfillment. SO that, they feel shameful and powerless after wards.
Even more so they are unable to stop even though it causes progressive problems in all aspects of their life, i.e. work, marriage, family. The addict uses sex to self-medicate in order to alleviate stress, emotional pain and attempts to confront or reenact any fears they have about sex, presumably because they were sexually abused as a child.
There are MANY people with enormous sex drives, and more power to them. So, to all freaks out there you have nothing to worry about because, the quantity of sex is not what is harmful its the quality so to speak. At least that's what I took from it.
Whoooooa that was a tangent, what can I say I love stuff like this, that's why I'm studying it
