Is Supermodel’s Soon-To-Be Ex a Sex Addict?

July 5th, 2008

What could be better than sex with supermodel Christie Brinkley?
For Peter Cook, Brinkley’s soon-to-be ex-husband, the answer may just be $3,000 worth of pornography, an Internet connection that allows him to masturbate in front of an online audience and an affair with an 18-year-old woman.
Now sexologists are wondering whether Cook, who testified about his sexual behavior under oath at his divorce trial yesterday in Southampton, N.Y., may be a sex addict.
“Anyone who is married to Christie Brinkley and has to masturbate at all is probably a sex addict,” said Doug Weiss, a licensed psychologist and the executive director of the Heart to Heart Counseling Center in Colorado.
According to Weiss, who has treated hundreds of sex addicts at his counseling center, anyone who is willing to spend money – thousands of dollars in Cook’s case – to achieve sexual arousal without the help of their supermodel wife, probably doesn’t have a healthy relationship with sex.
