Leave Tiger Woods Alone

About a week ago I decided to suggest on my blog that Tiger Woods could be a sex addict. In the past 6 months I’ve been watching recent sex scandals fairly close  and did not notice much controversy surrounding any of them. For one reason or another, Tiger Woods’ case has exploded.

It was uncommon in my culture to talk about sex with children, and to be honest, I think my parents themselves had very little idea about how human sexuality was designed to work.
