A wounded, but still filthy rich Tiger.
SEX DR DREW PINSKY CONFIRMS:
TIGER WOODS MAY BE A SEX FIEND
“Expert advice”: It’s a cottage industry in clueless America [print_link] AND DON’T MISS RELATED STORY: Tiger Woods deserves scrutiny
With a perfectly straight face the American media are parading the “usual experts” to convince the American public that Tiger Woods’ sex escapades were the result of an “addiction” and not simply the confluence of being a famous young billionaire with hormonal drives in high gear and countless opportunities for extramarital affairs. Medicalization, of course, avoids personal responsibility—the guilty party can always go to rehab—while opening the door to yet another battalion of well-paid television “experts” to hold forth with plenty of solemnity on our private lives. The Woods melodrama is just one more case of medicalizing a social issue, actually normal behavior, which ends up obfuscating the real causes of things. Any surprise that Americans can’t tell the ceiling from the floor? Below, the serious testimony of the ubiquitous Dr. Drew Pinsky and others normally tapped for this dubious duty.—P. Greanville

ET has the latest…
Dr. Drew Pinsky, of the hugely popular VH1 show “Sex Rehab,” tells ET that Tiger Woods could very well be a sex addict himself. “It’s safe to say that sex addiction might be a part of his problem,” the TV doctor says, but also adding that with sex addiction there’s usually childhood trauma which he has not seen any evidence of with Tiger. Pinsky says he was shocked when he read the headlines. “I thought this guy was different,” he says. “Celebrities have a very high probability of having issues in their interpersonal lives and it turns out he may be no different than many celebrities and athletes.” The doctor believes Tiger and his family are going through a very emotional time.
“Tiger is probably going through guilt and shame — that’s typically what the person who gets caught is going through,” he says. “They beat themselves up rather badly. The spouse is going through disbelief and trying to come to terms with betrayal, and the life that she thought she was living has been completely altered.”
But Pinsky feels it’s possible for Tiger to get through this, both professionally and personally.
“It’s amazing how public figures recover from scandals like this,” he says. “Tiger, we all believe is a really good guy, and we’re trying to understand why he could have done this. Hopefully he’ll help us understand this with time. I think he needs to come out with a fuller explanation. People do not like cover-ups.”
In the meantime, Pinsky says Tiger and his wife should get the proper help.
“Find a way to recommit to your marriage and get some help,” he advises Tiger. “Do so with the knowledge that the outcomes can be very, very good.” “Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew” airs Sundays on VH1.
