It's called sexual addiction. Masturbation, cybersex, having multiple sexual partners, etc. are all labelled under it. |
If bigotry and jealousy didn't exist, sexual addiction would be considered pathological only in a very small minority of cases. If there is mutual sexual attraction, doing sex is just the natural thing to do.

It's not about vices. A lot of people make that mistake when it comes to psychiatric conditions and thus we have people out there claiming they have ADHD, OCD etc. without ever being diagnosed and having no idea, really, what they're talking about. To be diagnosed with such a disorder, the addiction, obsession etc. has to actively hinder your daily life to the point you, or at least the people around you, can clearly notice. It needs to get to the point where you're physically, socially and mentally harming yourself because of your condition (insomnia, losing jobs / falling grades, repetitive strain injuries etc.). The WHO is not doing this to tag the average dedicated gamer as behaviorally ill. |
ok
Oh no guys, I have a disease now.
Well, at least I can use the fact to take sick leave from school and get a pension from the government, right? RIGHT?
Bet with Intrinsic:
The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.
LAWL, I like it how just about everyone in this thread is mad about a global health body's ruling ...

I think that should be the official name. They use sports names for penalties and such so why not diseases?

You didn't seem serious about it, but I've already seen several people say this already. I'm sure you're aware of how easily people are convinced on the interwebz. That's true about HSA. We'll see how far this goes.

It doesn't really have any farther to go. It's been acknowledged and will be treated as addictions generally are. |
It likely won't. This will be treated similarly to gambling.
