Let's superficially analyze this guy (I'm a psychology student)?

Question

He's 29. Works in entertainment industry in L.A., successful at his job, has fans (not like Orlando Bloom of course). His parents are still happily married. He is also happily married to a 25 y/o. He and his wife are in an open relationship and see other people.

He does not do drugs, he's not a rocker or anything wild like that. Though he sleeps with A LOT of women. Models, a little overweight girls.. He is also frequently having cyber s*x. He did it with me too, even though we've never met in real life. He lied to me (and IS lying to other girls) and told me he was single. (that's when I ended things)

He sent me a message the other day and told me that he misses me (read: having cyber s*x with me). And it was 1 day after his marriage anniversary. The last time we spoke was 2 months ago. I know he's already sleeping&having cyber s*x with a lot of women, women that are hotter than me actually.

Is he a s*x addict? What do you think of his behavior? Why is he like that?

Answer 1

s***w him (but not literally)....

There is a difference between being a s*x addict, and being a liar.  You can be a nympho/s*x addict without lying.

Nympho/s*x addict does not = person who hurts others.

liar = person who hurts others.  It's inexcusable.

I think therein lies the difference.

Psychologically I think his lack of respect for other people (their intelligence, right to know, their safety, emotions, etc) hints at a lack of respect for himself.

Answer 2

Actually, i'd be willing to superficially analyse you for knowing he was married, but i'll just leave it there.

He seems to be more into controlling others than the s*x, in all honesty - why else would he lie so often to prevent the people he sleeps with from finding out about one another?

Obviously, while he is sleeping with people they are getting to know him (perhaps) and are learning to trust him.

It may just be his way of making social conquests - by sleeping with as many people as he can, he will make as many contacts and human resources as possible.

In which case, he's using people, and that isn't very "Gentle".

edit to answer added info: Sorry about that, i don't like it when people ask me to psycho-analyse others, so i more or less just go all-out and psycho-analyse everything about the situational context.

Naturally, it helps if i pay specific attention to the entirety of the passage, as opposed to the seperate contextual parts of information.

My talent comes from my ability to divulge information from specific facts, i apologise about the fact that i missed that one.
