Compulsive
Some people I know think that they are addicted to sex.
They don't even come close.
The fact is that most people don't have enough sex and if they had more they would be better off. Or at least the world might be. But then there are the exceptions.
I have known a few true sex addicts, male and female, and it is a horrible life. Like any addiction, all of life takes a back seat to the sex. Relationships, livelihood and so on. There is even a 12 Step Program for it.
It is, of course, difficult to draw the line but if we use today's film for a guide, then most people who think they are addicted have no idea.
A kind of docudrama, Frank Ripploh films that kind of life. It might help one get an idea of it all and identify or not. Probably not.

And even if you do not watch it clinically you can watch it as pure entertainment. Sad sometimes, but quite realistic and often very very funny.
We see a lot of Berlin gay life, sometimes too much but it is always kind and has a laugh just around the corner. Laughing with not at. It is not a freak show by any means.
A 5 out of Netflixt, it is part of our collection.
