PsychCentral.com: Sex Addiction, Schwarzenegger and Strauss-Kahn: Understanding Men in Power Who Sexually Act Out

What crap.

An excerpt:

This latest scandal again raises questions about why some men in powerful positions often live out a double life one public and one private that involves impulsive an compulsive sexual behavior. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to speak to Reuters news service about this matter. I stressed that although a sense of strength and fearlessness and a near disregard of consequences can make for great, powerful leaders, problems come when these leaders do not acknowledge that they are human. If their narcissism or egotism isn’t matched by a healthy dose of humility of what it means to be human…and they run on their intellect and don’t attend to their emotions on any level…then they are bound for trouble.
The source of sex addiction is often a lack of connection, genuine intimacy, and emotional support. People who compulsively seek out intensely pleasurable experiences are attending to their emotional needs in unhealthy ways. People in powerful positions, such as Schwarzenegger and Strauss-Kahn, often don’t make it a priority to care for themselves emotionally, and may start looking for a “quick fix.”
Sex scandals among powerful figures aren’t uncommon, but they’re always shocking. From Elliot Spitzer and John Edwards to Bill Clinton and Tiger Woods, sex controversies continue to affect notable figures in many different fields and likely will continue to do so until sexual addiction and compulsive/impulsive sexual disorders are taken seriously.

Or, an alternative hypothesis is that some men simply act like [insert you favorite expletive].
