According to psychologists, sex addiction is a psychological disorder that arises from excessive stress or other factors. This concept had its beginnings in 1976, but it wasn't until 1987 that a precise definition surfaced. Just a decade has passed since then, and if nothing unexpected happens, it might become a marginal term, possibly gaining wider social acceptance only after another ten years or more.
However, if we talk about this term becoming widely known unexpectedly, well, Clinton played an instrumental role. Although the unlucky president hasn't yet faced the Lewinsky scandal, it won't be long now. The plaintiff's attorney in a sexual harassment case involving Clinton has already begun to investigate evidence of his womanizing. It's only a matter of time before it blows up.
