Do you think JimBob Duggar is a sex addict?

[SnazzyNazzy]

I don't think he's a sex addict. I DO think, that he has a sex obsession though. He seems overly concerned about other people's sex lives, be it his daughters, or some random gay couple.

[Four is Enough]

I'll go with "obsessed", for 800, Alex.

He talks about it all the time.

He's constantly "proving" he can do it by snogging Michelle all the time.

He's had a string of children with her.

He's probing the boys for "confessions" of their very natural "sinful" thoughts about sex.

When he was in the legislature, he only voted on abortion (SEX!) related topics!

[LogansMama]

I don't necessarily think he's a sex addict. Just a very horny male.

[marieantoinette]

I can't tell, but then again, I think a sex addict is more quiet about it. I imagine it's a lot like drug addicts. They hide and try to be perceived as the opposite of what they really are. I think he is obsessed with it because he wants to be perceived as a stud. And he likes to torture his kids with his sex life because he's frustrated that he can't indulge. He tries to make himself feel better by teasing them. Everything is a competition for him too so he feels that he is the most laid man in fundie land because of all the kids. I think it ultimately comes down to making himself feel superior to his children and other men. I wish he would stop with the sex talk though because I can't help but picturev what he's like when he starts talking about it. He's probably really pale, with a big belly and a long skinny wiener. Idk why I think of him that way, maybe because I had a boyfriend that looked like the 18 year old J. Boob. He was so nasty in bed, i would whine and cry every night because I knew he was going to try to have sex with me. His dick was long and skinny. Blah! I couldn't tell if he was in yet because he was so thin. Then he would want to 69, well he ambushed me while I was sleeping, i woke up with him on top of me naked but upside down, i was horrified. I didn't let that dick near my mouth, i ran downstairs and slept on the couch. Horrible!

To be honest, I think it is nice he behaves like he is so interested in Michelle, and is attracted to her. Why should married couples always act like they are bored with one another? It's a horrible message that permeates through our culture, and I really admire this aspect of the Duggars relationship, that they hope to send a different message to society... that you can still flirt with and be attracted to your wife, even after 30 years. It's good for children to know that their parents are in love and attracted to each other. It's good for children to see their parents kiss and touch and flirt. I never saw my parents so much as hold hands or kiss on the cheek, and I always felt it was sad.

But there's a big difference between kissing, touching, and flirting, and straight-up dry humping doggy-style on a miniature golf course in front of grown kidults forced to obey the courting standards of their parents (which actually means Gothard). I'm all for kids seeing their parents in happy, stable relationships where they're attracted to one another, no problem. But the kids/kidults of the TTH compound aren't allowed to explore or express attraction before marriage, and JB bizarrely flaunts his lack of boundaries before them. I still don't see him as a sex addict, but I do see him as an immature, odd man with teenage affectations at times and sexual obsession nearly nonstop.

[DGayle]

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!

Why would he need to "spread it around" when he has a wife who believes women have a responsibility to say yes every time a man's horny?

[rodgerdodger]

JB has the opposite of penis envy. He is patriarchal and realizes how much men "need" to control women and be the headship. How does he determine he is a man and therefore is of the highest human rank? His penis! So add that in with his teenage boy mindset and you have Boob.

My husband and I have been married almost 17 years. From what friends have told us it's pretty obvious we're still really into each other...HOWEVER...we do not behave as JB & M do in public or anywhere else other than the privacy of our own home/bedroom.

I truly believe there's a certain standard of acceptable behavior in public and JB & M repeatedly violate that. They are WAY over the top...it's twisted and almost perverted how they act around their children. Its unnecessary how they have to upstage their courting children who can't show any normal affection to each other, and for the love of God...they won't even HUG their children...it's disgusting. They have some really strange ideas and I think they (especially JB) need to grow the fk up and act like the adults they should be.

[Ave Maria]

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:

Or she could mean that the first time between two virgins is usually short -- which is a blessing, really.

[doggie]

He would take a flying fuck at a rolling donut if given a chance he is so Horny.

[CrazyCatLady]

J'Boob is a two pump chump, guaranteed!

[circularlogic]

i think he is just a legend in his own mind and believes that he has it all figured out. however, i highly doubt he has any idea what he is doing. he probably doesn't even know where the clitoris is or he g-spot for that matter. how very sad for michelle. i really hope that those kids allow themselves the opportunity to explore with their partners and give themselves a chance at a real sex life!

Bit OT, but I have this terrible feeling that they must link sex to shame after a lifetime of "purity" training. That can be a hard mindset to let go of.

[Toothfairy]

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.

damn JimChelles sex life must be dull. Sex should feel like forever or at least not be over fast. JB just gets the job done I guess, I mean he has 19kids

The women's job is to make sure the man is happy. Sad that women in this cult can't seek pleasure too. It's only babies.

[txmommyof4]

I think Jim Bob feels inferior. He has said before he couldn't believe he could get someone like Michelle. My guess is that when they met he was a virgin (probably never had a girlfriend) and Michelle wasn't even close. He has spent the past 30 years trying to erase every guy she ever touched.

He has to suck in bed. He proves he is selfish by not caring how uncomfortable he makes her with his very public advances and selfish people are terrible lovers.

His obsession with his children's sexuality is disgusting and highly inappropriate. I truly think he would welcome details of their sex lives straight from the mouths of his daughters. He appears to have some incredibly disturbing issues.

So, I don't think Jim Bob is a sex addict at all...may not even really enjoy sex that much. I think he has a need to control and humiliate the people he should cherish most and he does this with sex.

[apandaaries]

Doug Phillips had (and still has) a submissive wife who "tends to his special needs," but he still risked his entire Vision Forum empire to mess around outside his marriage. Sex addicts just cannot respect boundaries, even boundaries they define themselves.

If JB were that type of guy, some story/ies would have leaked out. Instead, he's the nerd who scored the cheerleader and now overcompensates for his feelings of inadequacy and insecurity by knocking her up as often as physically possible. (Although I do think that Mullet is the baby-obsessed one, and if she'd ever said they needed to stop for whatever reason (like her health, or listening to the doctors), JB would easily acquiesce. He just gets off on being such an uber-patriarch.)

[DuggarsTheEndIsNear]

One of the most telling and common symptoms of a sex addiction is having sex with multiple partners, regardless of commitment status to another person. And, assuming they are emotionally committed to one person, their sexual habits do not being remorse when it comes to how their actions negatively affect their partner.

I have many friends who are sex addicts. I don't for a minute believe that JB is a sex addict. I think he enjoys sex. I think he's horny as hell because Michelle allowed him to be and now she might not be putting out so often. But I don't think he's a sex addict.

[Freefundies]

They know how to say no to the kids but not to each other. I think he doesn't know when or how to stop. Usually as men get older and he is reaching an age where it may start kicking in they begin to have erectile problems and I wonder how he would handle that issue.

You will know if Jimbob ever has trouble getting it up. The bragging about sex and lording it over his sons and son in laws about how manly he is will increase. Hes like that kid at school who claims to have totally had sex millions of times and know everything about sex, but actually they have never seen a vagina before outside of porn.

[goldfishgoddess]

It's JimBoob's magical power. He likes flaunting it in front of his adult kids, whom he treats like toddlers.

I've also heard him say a couple times, "They figured it out" sort of in an "awe shucks I can't believe it" way, that his married children figured out how to have sex on their own without his instruction, and make babies.

[LilahBelle]

I'm not sure that he's a sex addict, but there is some sort of addiction on the part of JimBob and Michelle with their constant attempts at child-bearing.

I'm sure the missionary position is 'it' because you don't want to take any chance that his precious 'seed' might spill out where there was no chance that it could meet up with an egg.

And speaking of "seed", if the one that made it to his mother's egg was the fastest, smartest one can you imagine how screwed up the rest of those sperm were?

[MoonFace]

Anyone who spouts off about purity, modesty, etc and still manages to dry hump his wife in front of his kids - let alone a camera (asking her, "Does this turn you on?"!!) and side hugs his daughters (is he afraid he might get turned on by them or their virginal boobs? Isn't that the reason to avoid frontal contact - because it's too much like a sexual position?) has got to have some sexual issues.

Can you imagine him with Dr. Ruth?
