It looks like Tiger Woods may have valid medical reasons for his multiple mistresses and serial infidelity.
The Daily Mail, a publication in the United Kingdom, provides excellent insight into some of the underlying reasons for the Tiger Woods infidelity scandal.
Medical Reasons for Tiger’s Behavior
A combination of sex addiction and drug addiction may account for Tiger Woods’ behavior.
Apparently these dual addictions in combination with other factors in Tiger’s life contributed to the sex scandal which erupted nearly 3 weeks ago, and has continued to unfold daily ever since.
After 12 mistresses, I lost count.
Addicted to Drugs That Boosted His Sex Drive
According to reports, Tiger Woods is a heavy user of Vicodin and Ambien, both of which are highly addictive prescription drugs.
Vicodin, which supposedly mimics the effects of morphine, is also said to boost the male sex drive.
Ambien can increase the libido, too.
The investigating officer for Tiger’s car crash suspected that Vicodin and Ambien may have been contributing factors.
TMZ reported that Tiger was marked as an overdose, when he was admitted to the hospital following the crash.
All this puts Tiger’s behavior in an entirely different light.
Treatment for Sex Addiction
Back when the “mistress count” was still at number 3, I wrote that based on the things the alleged mistresses were saying about their experiences with Tiger Woods, it was highly likely that he had a sex addiction problem. See the article entitled New Details about Tiger Woods Secret Love Life Reveal He May Be Addicted to Sex.
According to both ABC and NBC news, next year Tiger will be enrolling at The Meadows, a rehab facility near Phoenix, Arizona.
Other Contributing Factors in Tiger Woods’ Life
There have been numerous reports that Tiger’s father, Earl Woods, cheated on his first wife, with Tiger’s mother, who he later married. Tiger’s high school sweetheart has reported that Tiger was devastated to find out that his father apparently continued his pattern of infidelity was cheating on Tiger’s mother, too.
When you factor in a lifestyle that afforded him endless opportunities to cheat, scores of adoring female fans, enough money to pay for trysts, and friends to aid and abet, it’s not hard to see how the whole situation came about.
Add to that, the fact that good men sometimes use bad judgment. – See the article entitled How Good Men End Up Cheating on Their Mates, and the pieces of the puzzle begin to fall into place.
Tiger had some very powerful influences at work in his life.
It was just a matter of time before the stick of dynamite he was hiding suddenly blew up in his face.
Because of this sex scandal, Tiger’s sponsorships are now.n jeopardy. But more importantly, Tiger’s marriage is hanging in the balance.
Can you blame Tiger for wanting to isolate himself so he can figure out how to salvage what’s left of the situation, sort things out, make amends to his wife, and get him marriage back on track?
I hope things work out for Tiger Woods, and I sincerely wish him well.

Comments
Sex addiction? i think not. He just wanted to have good time. Married to help make his image better for more money etc. He was having these whores before his marriage shows what he is. Party boy with sex. Marriage was a great cover. So is the sex addiction claim.
I had to laugh at the vicodin and ambien info - the first makes me sick as a dog, and the only time I've ever hallucinated in my life was while taking ambien for insomnia. That these drugs can actually enhance sex drive in men makes me see RED! How funny/ T
What about the deception he had to practice all those years to make his double life work? What do you call that -- a lying addiction?
"Make amends to his wife"???? In our lifetimes?
Elin should dump Tiger, and let him join Amway, along with his "girlfriends", as Amway also screws anything that moves. Amway is a scam, and here's why: Amway pays out as little money as they can get away with, so they support the higher level IBOs ripping off their downline via the tool scam. As a result, about 99% of IBOs operate at a net loss, while the top 1% make several TIMES more from their Amway tool scam than from the Amway products. Read about it on my blog, I suggest you start here: Google "Amway the rest of the story" and forward the information to everyone you know, so they don't get scammed.
I was a converted Tiger fan. The exciting he brought to the game of golf was really amazing, but at first, I did not like him, mainly because he was a real competitor to Jack Nicklaus' records. When this scandal broke, at first, I was in denial. Tiger? No, it can't be. As more information came out, and he did not respond to refute it, I became disgusted, but I believed he was being treated unfairly. Part of me wants to believe he is this poor innocent man, naive and taken by the evil of this world.
However, knowing that his antics were going on since, well, lets just say, his adulthood, erases the thought that he is innocent, and caught up in scandal unknowingly. He had these affairs each time his wife was pregnant! After reading the cleansing he is doing on his website, shows that he is still delusional in believing that he can repair his credibility through censoring the negativity. In light of personalities like Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez quitting the internet to avoid the negative press, perhaps it should occur to all of them that maybe, just maybe, they should stop with the actions that lead to the negative press.
Tiger is a fake! He is a failure as husband...father...and son. He will not have his hundreds of million dollars, but, I am wealthier than he is where it counts. My two children will always see me everyday along with my wife of twenty years. He absolutely humiliated his whole family. I will boycott Nike products as a result of the CEO's comment of "it's a minor blip".
Tigers' poor wife needs a thorough GYN exam because of Tigers whoring around. I hope neither one has contracted HIV or HPV. Tiger is scum!!!
Reply to Tinamarie: The fact is that the sleeping pills do have that effect on men. I know from personal experience ! Tiger's a dog for doing what he did but he has a valid, albeit, sad excuse.
what has become obsession about the alleged trysts and when they began or did not begin is more speculation and sensationalism. Both Tiger and Elin are real people, with obviously "real" problems , just like the rest of us.. the only difference is that through fame and fortune, not to mention many years of training and "programming" we are different.. No-one among us can be judge and jury until the people themselves work out whatever the problems may be. I hope that happens in whatever way they collectively decide is best , and that Tiger will return to the golf course. He is still # 1 in the world .
Reminds me of a South Park episode or two.
Addiction is a fiction.
