Do you think JimBob Duggar is a sex addict?

[toejamflipflop]

I don't know if this question was ever brought up in a topic but I was thinking with all JimBob's sex talk and simulation of sex in front of his children and others makes me believe he may be a closet sex addict. He's very obsessed with the sex chatter especially with his children and their spouses. I don't understand how their fundie followers can be comfortable with his sex chatter. Its not like we all don't know where babies come from. His attitude and vocal jargon about sex seems to be based more on the pleasure of having and demanding sex with his wife and not about the babies his horny libido produces. I am just saying. There is something wrong with any male who has sex on their mind 24/7.

[Stokstaartje]

It would not surprise me one bit.

[SPHASH]

Well of course he is.

[mollysmom]

No doubt in my mind. He is so inappropriate & unfortunately, it's magnified since he has a tv show.....I mean...."ministry"

[hockeymoo]

I think he's overcompensating for his general feeling of impotence in the world. Jim Bob is not a smart, powerful or respected man, nor was he rich until recently. I think getting his wife pregnant repeatedly was the one thing he could do.

[apandaaries]

While I find it really interesting that they made those comments about iPhones being personal pornography centers (or something to that effect), I'm not sure if I would put JB in that category. He's repulsive and sex-obsessed, yes, but an addict is always taking things WAY too far. This guy is definitely inappropriate, but he seems to confine his repulsiveness to J'chelle, not spread it around to and with tons of other women. Sex obsessed? Definitely. Sex addict? Probably not. Revolting? Ab-so-freaking-lutely!

[downtherabbithole]

Yes :ew:

[gustava]

No.

[eri]

But then why would he resign himself to a life of abstinence whenever his wife is menstruating or recuperating after birth?

[ILoveJellybeans]

He seems like the kind of guy who talks a lot, but probably isn't having very satisfying sex. Kind of like the kid at school who was actually a virgin, but insisted that obviously they were having all the sex and knew a lot about it. But he never grew out of that, so he has to force his sexuality onto his kids and everyone else there to hear that "YES! WE DO FUCK!".

[Sundaymorning]

Wouldn't sursprise me.

And I sometimes wonder, what was there first, the chicken or the egg:

Was Boob like that beforehand, or did the sex-obsession of the Gothard cult affect him through the years.

Cause, let's face it: Gothard, along with many fundies, seems to be thinking about sex all the time. Women in pants? No way, too tempting. Front-hugging? How defrauding! A girl in a regular swimsuit? Nike!!! Going on a date in a public space alone when you're 23? Never, you surely will end up having sex.

It really reminds me of those closeted homophobes whose only conversation topics are gays and gay sex.

[19 cats and counting]

Yes and no. There are aspects of sex that are a forbidden fruit to him (porn, masturbation to name a few) that I'm sure he thinks about 24/7.

I think he's as fixated on the forbidden fruits of sex as Rick Santorum is on gay sex (and bestiality for that matter. He famously made the 'man on dog' remark.)

I think he's angry about it. And he takes that anger out on his children by putting them through much stricter barriers to having sex (even touching someone they're interested in) than he ever did. I'll bet my life savings that he kissed Michelle before marriage.

I'm pretty sure that J'Chelle admitted on the show that they did in fact kiss before marriage.

But of course, they are doing their kids a huuuge favour that they make sure the kids won't make the same "mistake" :angry-banghead:

[Toothfairy]

Sex addict? NO. Overactive still stuck in a 15 yo mindset when he's 49? Yes. He's very immature. Sort of like the Peter Pan effect.

This. If JB was a sex addict, he'd be spending money on random encounters with prostitutes, porn, exhibitionism, etc, and we definitely would have heard about it by now (think of the Tiger Woods scandal when all those women came crawling out of the woodwork). Rather, I think that JB (and Michelle too for that matter) is stuck at an emotional age of seventeen or so, and thinks that he has to flaunt what he has in other people's faces. It's not just inappropriate PDAs that he flaunts; he also does it with his children, his house, his political views, and anything else that could be used to one up someone. Maybe he thinks all the PDAs and sex talk are helping people to see that married, heterosexual sex is the pinnacle of sexuality, but all he does is make others uncomfortable. :penguin-no:

See bolded above. I think they've just never matured. My 24 year old son and his 22 year old wife are currently living with us. They've been together almost 4 years now and are NOT like JB & M when it comes to PDAs. I mean, its obvious they've had sex at least once, their son is 2 and a half. They don't need to flaunt it. I think they smooch less in one week than JB & M do in ONE 22 minute episode. JB & M are just immature. He is still acting like the dweeb who managed to snag the cheerleader...maybe he's got little man syndrome and that's why he feels the need to be all over her all the time...to prove his manhood.

[Zasha]

If not addicted I think very, very obsessed. I agree that he's very immature. I think he has a major preoccupation with sex and how much of a "man" it makes people and turned to his religion to justify it. Effectively keeping him from ever having to mature out of that mindset. It's disgusting and creepy and the fact that he projects all those feelings onto his children is even worse.

You have JB teaching them that men and boys are all obsessed with sex and can barely control themselves and their bodies. Then on the other side you have JChelle telling them not only is that true, they are all disgusting sinners for it and girls, especially are disgustingly evil sinners whose responsibility it is to keep the men from ravaging them. Basically.

That man may not be addicted but whatever's going on in his head is looking at scary in the rearview mirror.

[Rainytown]

I'd like to see the history on his phone's browser. Then again, maybe not.

I also had to laugh the other day when someone posted the snippet of dialogue from an episode during which J-Chelle was talking to Jessa Blessa about sex: "It's over pretty fast." Really, J-Chelle?

He's all talk and little action. When there is some action, it's over in two minutes. And I really wish one of his kids would speak up on camera and tell him to knock it off.

Yes the owned up to kissing before marriage and said something like they let it get farther than the should have.

I think JB has a lot of *issues* around intimacy in general. I mean this is a guy that is side hugging his children.

This.

I was raised that sex is inherently wrong and that men want it alllll the time no matter what and women concede. (I'm just now seeing all the fundie things my mom would spout, I assumed it was just backwoods Southern ideology). I think his lack of filter is juvenile and he isn't getting as often as he makes it out....it's often enough to fit the biblical requirements but he needs to assert that masculinity so he has to brag. It makes him look like the ultimate masculine example to his sons and what to "expect" in a husband for his daughters. Men are delicate and must be humored because their personal reputations are on the line...there are too many feminists creating sissy's ya know. :lol:

Oh wow! :cry: What an idea to train into the girls. That's a terrible thought. After reading this post, I now imagine that JB and M still have sex like embarrassed, ashamed, horny little teenagers. And my brain hurts. :brain-bleach:

[16strong]

I wouldn't be surprised if, the minute Michelle realized that she was no longer fertile, the sex factory dried right up. They act like two people who aren't very satisfied by one another, and had to constantly have babies to say "See! Look! We DO have sex, and we DO enjoy intimacy together!"

I agree, they've never matured as they practically dry humped when they were allegedly chaperoning Jessa's date with Ben shortly after they began their courtship. :brain-bleach: :brain-bleach: Adults who have been able to mature before getting married don't feel the need to flaunt PDA's, nor do they need to kiss at a wedding that they're attending, or participating in as honor attendants.

Its over pretty fast? Haha I knew it. Jimbob is the kind of guy who lasts two minutes. The people who brag the most about how good they are at sex usually are terrible at it.

It would be hilarious if Jessa and Ben told them that they last ages and its amazing, the look on Jimbob's face would be amazing, as he hates the idea of anyone being better than him, and sex seems to be the thing he values most in life.

[HarleyQuinn]

Someone made a good point about porn and prostitution if he was addicted, but he has a wife that has to submit whenever he says, so he very well could be obsessed. I think he comes off as a gigantic pervert and I always feel uncomfortable when he's talking about sex, especially around his kids. He knows no boundaries.
