As more mistresses come forward with details about Tiger Woods’ secret sex life, Tiger is reportedly making arrangements to undergo sex addiction therapy.
In the past 24 hours, 3 more women have come forward with claims that they’ve slept with Tiger Woods. The tales they tell portray Tiger as a man addicted to sex.
The ever growing list of Tiger Woods’ alleged mistresses now consists of the following 6 names:
Rachel Utichel
Jaimee Grubbs
Kalika Moquin
Jamie Jungers
Mindy Lawton
Cori Rist
At least two of Tiger’s alleged mistresses are said to be angry to find out they were not the only one.
Tiger’s Mistresses Tell Tales of Tiger and Kinky Sex
Rachel Uchitel said she and Tiger Woods liked to take Ambien before having sex.
Uchitel is also reported to have forwarded an intimate message to her friends, in which Tiger shared with her his dream of an orgy involving Uchitel, Derek Jeter, actor David Boreanaz and Ryan Seacrest.
Mindy Lawton said Tiger liked to spank her and pull her hair while having sex.
Lawton also revealed other details about her sex life with Tiger Woods, saying that Tiger liked rough sex, that they’d once had sex in a church parking lot, leaning against his car, and that they engaged in unprotected sex..
Jaimee Grubbs claims that Tiger Woods sent her text messages requesting that she go to the bathroom, take a “naughty” picture of herself, and send it to him.
Jamie Jungers said Tiger Woods seduced her 9 months after her marriage to Elin Nordegren,
Jungers also claims that over the next 18 months, she and Tiger had frequent sex in his California home, surrounded by wedding pictures of himself and his new bride.
What the Experts Say About Tiger and Sex Addiction
Noted expert ,Dr. Drew Pinsky, who has his own show on VHI called “Sex Rehab” says that sex addiction might be a part of Tiger’s problem. Pinsky stated that Tiger Woods’ serial sexual seduction of various women during his marriage to Elin Nordegren had all the makings of a sex addiction.
United Kingdom health and relationship expert Claire Hegarty is quoted as saying the following: “Tiger Woods is showing all the signs of being a sex addict which is not just a word that people use to explain them having affairs but is a real illness that needs to be treated. Tiger Woods needs help and he needs it now before he can even think about saving his marriage.”
David Smallwood, an Addictions Manager at London's Priory Clinic, believes the exposure of the Tiger Woods’ affairs hint at his uncontrolled craving for sex. Says Smallwood, "All of the things Woods is alleged to have done point to him having a sex addiction.”
Infidelity and Sex Addiction
As an infidelity expert, who has been researching infidelity for almost 16 years, I’ve interviewed thousands of infidelity victims and cheaters of both sexes. I’ve found that many serial cheaters use sex addiction as an excuse for their infidelity.
There are men who will grasp at any excuse to explain why they cheated on their wives – after they get caught. See the article entitled Is There a Gene That Makes Men Cheat? However, this doesn’t appear to be the case with Tiger Woods.
Nevertheless, for every legitimate case of sex addiction, there are probably 50 to 75 other cheating men who are merely using sex addiction as an excuse.
If Tiger Woods is truly a sex addict, I hope undergoing sex addiction therapy will help him save his marriage, get it back on track, and restore his tarnished reputation. I certainly wish Tiger and his wife the best.

Hello Ruth, Thank you for a very thorough and thought-provoking article. It is definitely good to get the opinion of an expert with 16 years of research on the subject. Thank you for stopping by my column to read my article on Tiger Woods. This must certainly be a trying time for him and his family as they must deal with this very personal issue while in the public eye (it's the price one pays for fame). I will be linking your article to my most recent "Mindy Lawton (picture), Jamie Jungers, and Cory Rist join alleged Tiger Woods lovers" because I know my readers will benefit from your excellent details and your expertise. Best Wishes. ~Boston Women's Relationship Advice Examiner
Garbage! I like how you include these so called "experts". Nothing but sensational journalism. Why don't you report on more "weighty" matters?
Tiger is just one more person that has been struck by lies and a small situation turned and blew way out of perportion. He is a normal guy living a normal life just like anyone else except for his amazing abilities to play golf, and gets into a fight with his wife about cheating like millions of other couples out there and is swarmed and summoned as a "cheater" or someone that treats women bad or is addicted to sex. I say good luck mister woods and all the lies and pop attacing him can go Fcuk them selfs leave the man alown.
Sex addict, he's a strait black male not a closic case like most white guys. Whats the big deal? Envy and racism that what it is?
Hi Ruth,
Thanks for your article. My wife has a similar addiction. She has had sex with all of her past bosses and, I believe, continues to this day. She is very physical and demanding. She "works long hours" and is often inaccessible on Friday afternoons. She's changed her hair style at least 3 times in the past 9 months (from normal to super curly to permed) and music - (her boss is very much into music as a guitar player and his wife is out of the country) and she's super focused on exercise and having a baby.
What are your thoughts?
This whole article is a joke, I can't believe you would ever even put your name on this piece Ruth.
'The term sex addiction describes the behavior of someone who has an unusually strong sex drive or sexual obsession.'
As opposed to someone who dislikes sex? Do you know any normal people who don't have these natural urges? If you do, are they unattractive/depressed/no fun to be around -- from my experiences, and I've had many, sex is an amazing part of life. Sure, you can't rationalize his cheating but when your talking about being DAMAGING TO THE CHILDREN, what the flying F*** do you think this article is doing... helping the situation?
'Infidelity' Examiner, I'm a BS Examiner - let me get a blog post going about you.
To Daniel C.
If you’d bothered to click the link, you’d have seen that the description of sex addiction comes from MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS at www.MedicineNet.com .
If you don’t agree with it, your beef is with them, NOT with me.
However, as I pointed out in my article entitled Is Steve Phillips Using Sex Addition as an Excuse for His Infidelity? sex addiction is a highly controversial topic on which even medical professionals disagree. But a growing number of medical professionals estimate that sex addiction is very real, and affects an estimated 16 million Americans, both men and women.
A Google search will show that my article appeared several days before other media outlets made the connection between Tiger Woods’ behavior and sex addiction.
Days later, there were medical professionals on all the major TV news and talk shows discussing this very topic. Guess you didn’t see any of these, or the many online accounts.
I stand behind everything I write.
I agree with your article 100%. He sounds like a sex addict to me. As for the person that disputes the "strong sex drive", I would have to say that there is an ENORMOUS difference between enjoying sex and being obsessively compulsive about it. Most sex addicts are not really enjoying what they are doing.
back in the 'days" I recall a woman was referred to as a nymphomaniac .{don't recall the term applied to males. bottom line, even then it was recognized as "compulsive" behavior..and certainly there must be something going on with Tiger (or any other man or woman who has this seemingly insatiable drive for sex. Let's face it, thats what it is sex...no emotions atached ,and little if any...true satisfaction, ) yes , help.. via sucessful intervention is the way forward. the first step is admit there is a serious problem , the second is to recognize it can be overcome..
some one had to help us.so my advice to whom ever is reading this page is to lift tiger woods,his wife.children,mother up in prayer calling on the name of our Lord and savior JESUS CHRIST.in the word and laws of GOD WERE IS OUR FIRST HUSband and wife.for God giveth his only son that he go away and come back with his true words of GOD SO THat we may live again someday with God.Let us follow his commandments ACT;2-38 AND BE FILLED WITH HIS SPRIT THE HOLYGHOST OH WHAT A DAY IT WILL .ALL GLORY AND HONOR ALWAYS GO TO GOD NOT MAN NEVER MAN.
WE ALL HAVE OPINONS.But not to judge.somday soon you and i will face our creator and one question.where is your wife,or husband what wil you say to that.they youth are not being taught at home be we expect the teaches to do your job.LET'S get it right our selves.and as far as the new mayor not throwing stones but it's all about the extra pay and title.Yes Mayor Dixon did something be her works spoke for itslf.Thank-you Mayor Dixon always and keep your head high.how many will have things just betwwen them and GOd? Like me HA, YOU ARE HUMAN LIKE US ALL.God Bless you and to me you are a hell of a woman.
