Quotes 

• Dr. Bennett Alston : You don't understand, Detective. These people don't enjoy sex. They're numb. They're gripped by some force they can't control.

  Fin Tutuola : It's like somebody who drinks too much, snorts cocaine. Bets the house on the ponies.

  Dr. Bennett Alston : And those addictions are considered disorders, but when you have to have sex three times a day, you're considered a pervert. Sex addicts carry so much shame, they're always looking for redemption.

• Dr. Bennett Alston : It's called covert incest. You're a little girl. Dad watches you take baths, tells you dirty jokes. Mentions how great the sex was last night with some woman.

  Detective John Munch : Twisted way to teach the birds and bees.

  Dr. Bennett Alston : Then you hit puberty. Daddy dearest admires your shape, leaves porn magazines in your room, buys you sexy lingerie. Maybe takes you as his date to a business dinner or a cocktail party.

  Detective John Munch : And when little girl is all grown up, the only way she knows how to relate to men is through sex.
