Calling All Sex Addicts
Monday, January 08, 2007 9:29 AM
Are you in denial about being a sex addict? It's okay to admit it. It's even better to go through therapy to manage the problem. And best of all, why not write an autobiography that highlights your sexual problem and release it in a feature-length film to the public?
That's what filmmaker Caveh Zahedi (In the Bathtub of the World, I Don't Hate Las Vegas Anymore) did when he directed his autobiographical comedy I Am a Sex Addict.
The film re-counts Zahedi's ten-year addiction to sex (and prostitutes) through candid confessionals. The film opens with Zahedi in a tux, preparing to wed for the third time after two failed marriages and an even longer list of ex-girlfriends.
The film features a dramatic performance by real-life French porn legend Rebecca Lord (not to be confused with Traci Lords of Tracy, I Love You fame).
The video releases in Canada tomorrow, but you can sign up for sex addicts anonymous anytime.
