ELIOT'S SEXUAL HEALING - 'ADDICTION' THERAPY

ELIOT'S SEXUAL HEALING

By LUKAS I. ALPERT

March 21, 2008 --

Former Gov. Eliot Spitzer has gone into therapy in the wake of the hooker scandal that swept him out of office, a Spitzer insider told The Post yesterday.

As part of the therapy, Spitzer will explore whether he has an addiction to sex, the source said.

The last time Spitzer was seen publicly was on Saturday, when he hopped behind the wheel of an SUV outside his Upper East Side building with his wife, Silda, two of their daughters, and their Wheaton terrier, James, and made a beeline to their weekend home in upstate Pine Plains.

A spokeswoman for Spitzer said yesterday he was still with his family there, but declined to comment on whatever therapy Spitzer had sought.

Spitzer formally stepped down on Monday after it became public that he was caught on a federal wiretap arranging a tryst with a $4,300-a-night call girl at a Washington hotel in February.

Since then, it has emerged he has had a jones for pricey professional girls going back as far as a decade, and hooked up with "Kristen" - the nom-de-sack of 22-year-old Ashley Alexandra Dupre - several times prior to getting nabbed on tape, sources have said.

Experts say this type of behavior exhibits classic signs of sexual addiction.

The only “therapy” my husband would need after a stunt like this would be post-operative therapy after they fixed the dent in his head that I put there with a frying pan!

Mrs. Spitzer? You’re an enabler and a putz in your own right. Show your DAUGHTERS what to do in a situation like this, fer Pete’s Sake! I’ll lend you my frying pan, LOL!

Kinda reminds you of the story of
A Dad catching his Boy sneaking liquor

Dad the forces the kid to drink one
glass after another until he is puking his guts out

I wonder how they treat Sexual Addictions...

Group sessions for sex addiction are a great place to pick up chicks.

I thought you were going to say surgical re-attachment.

It isn’t the “addiction” to sex that’s the problem. It’s the fact the wife wasn’t involved… and the fact that he didn’t realize that was a problem… or perhaps he just didn’t care – that could be problematic too.

You’ll hear this crap on the left all the time -

instead of holding someone responsible for their behavior, blame some “outside” entity like an “addiction”.

In other words, it’s not his fault, he can’t help it.

A very lib inlaw of mine actually used this line of argument with regard to that young Kennedy involved in a DUI last year.

It’s the daughters who are going to need the therapy. He needs a frying pan upside the head.

Playgirl makes offer to Elliot Spitzer (excerpt from the link)

And now today Playgirl, seemingly seriously, offered money and pubic publicity to the unemployed ex-governor to join its glossy pages of naked hunks and show off his huge chin. "Seriously," the magazine's website announced today, "get in touch with us. We're ready to make you a very attractive offer."<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

If he has an addiction to sex, he’s probably a chronic masturbator too. A real steamroller.
