Addiction?
This 'sexual addiction' only seems to be a real addiction in some parts of the article, because it generally does not interfere in a bad way with the normal life of the person.
Merge Sexual addiction with Pornography addiction?
See discussion
Non 12-step therapy
"Research about recovery from sexual addiction has indicated that 12-step meetings are important for success. Those who do not attend 12-step meetings have a much more difficult time recovering, if they do at all."
It,s only an author's personal opinion. Notice that Carnes' resarches includet only 12-steps meetings members, so they were all convinced, that if they don't attend meetings they will fail. Carnes didn't consider those, who choosed other therapy methods (eg cognitive-behavioral therapy), or those who overcame addiction on their own.
Cleanup
I tagged this article for cleanup on 22 Jan 2007 due to phrases such as:
So to be clear, sexual addiction is addiction of a sexual nature. In which the sexual method of arousal, stimulation, etc. becomes a compulsion with withdrawal syndromes if it is taken away for too long a period of time.
These sentences, and several others in the article, are clearly grammatically incorrect and non-encyclopedic.
Lack of neutrality?
An editor added the non-neutrality tag to the main page without comment. It is not at all clear, at least to me, what is non-neutral about the article. The article is grossly under-sourced and requires substantial editing, but I personally don't see any obvious lack of neutrality. In fact, I am not sure exactly which side the article is being perceived as biased towards.

- Agree with you. Before adding the neutrality tag, it should be discussed. Bluptr (talk) 08:23, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
