Italian Prime Minister Needs Sex Addiction Therapy?

[lemon]

Silvio Berlusconi’s estranged wife, Veronica Lario, wrote in her biography that the Italian Prime Minister may need therapy to treat sex addiction in order to salvage his marriage, as well as his career in politics.

Hmn….. Interesting....

The question is, is there even a treatment center for sex addiction in Italy? Italian men are known to be die-hard romanticos… I actually think men romanticizing women who are not their girlfriends or wives is considered a norm.

I would like to get a copy, but I’d rather spend the money on something else. For those who want to get their hands on the book, copies have just hit Italian book shops.

There’s only one known sex addiction treatment clinic in Italy and it just opened last year. This clinic treats sex addiction by combining medication with psychotherapy.

Berlusconi’s preference for young and attractive female candidates, regardless of their political experience, as party reps for the European Parliament elections caused quite a stir earlier this year. And it was Veronica who took this issue public.

I have heard about this issue earlier. And he actually demanded a public apology from his wife! The nerve! It’s good that she has filed for divorce from him. Who could live with a man who has an insatiable appetite for intercourse???

And you know what’s the worst thing he did? At the height of a controversy regarding his affair with an 18-year-old woman… He denied ever having any illicit relations. And actually swore on his sons! The nerve!

Well, are his sons still alive?

I also remember him promising to resign from his post if this were true. Why is he still around then?

Indeed. Italians are not open to the idea of sex addiction treatment. Or, more correctly, the concept doesn’t exist to them.
