It’s a certain condition more than an addiction to a certain activity, so not SOP, albeit in some, untechnical, occurrences SOP, so keep. Cf. drug addict (though cocaine addict may be a stretch). Fay Freak (talk) 14:50, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

A sex addict could possibly lose their addiction in later life. DonnanZ (talk) 11:38, 29 December 2021 (UTC)

Delete, this figurative usage of addict is very much productive. ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 20:14, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

• Keep. I have adjusted the definition to match the cited lede of the Wikipedia article. Sex addiction (and therefore the status of sex addict) encompasses sexual activity beyond actual intercourse. bd2412 T 07:29, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

  That seems irrelevant. Someone can be a football addict, without playing it. Besides, sex has tonnes of non-intercourse definitions. Br00pVain (talk) 15:18, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

  Keep. I don't know how to explain why. In contrast to football addict, sex addict seems like one "word" (or thought) to me. DAVilla 22:39, 1 January 2022 (UTC)

Keep per above "keep" votes. AG202 (talk) 22:44, 2 January 2022 (UTC)

Keep or at least convert to translation hub. ·~ dictátor·mundꟾ 17:37, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Delete. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 18:45, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Keep per the other keep votes. DonnanZ (talk) 11:03, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Delete, unless would be converted into a translation hub, providing the source languages in that case. Arabic, the language I speak, only has an equivalent SOP. Assem Khidhr (talk) 19:22, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

Keep. It may be self-serving nonsense that this is treated like a medical condition instead of an expression of human existence but since it is... — LlywelynII 02:47, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Delete SOP. --Rishabhbhat (talk) 10:00, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
