The ultimate criteria regarding any addiction is whether it messes up your life, and not the numbers involved. You could eat a small amount of chocolate every day of your life and if you don't get diabetes and/or obese, then its no big deal. National Council on Sexual Addiction and Compulsivity has defined sexual addiction as “engaging in persistent and escalating patterns of sexual behavior acted out despite increasing negative consequences to self and others.” In other words, a sex addict will continue to engage in certain sexual behaviors despite facing potential health risks, financial problems, shattered relationships or even arrest." You're talking about a guy banging 15 women -- that we know of. Even if it 10x that we're not talking anything approaching Wilt Chamberlain status here. Babe Ruth was probably as promiscuous. That's not to say the scope couldn't expand, but I don't think addiction would be a proper term for it. Someone really might ask why he needs to seek out porn stars being married to a knockout like he is/was.
