Is Tiger Woods a Sex Addict?

(CBS) A report on the Daily Beast Web site Monday said superstar golfer Tiger Woods might have a problem with prescription medications, but more talk came Tuesday that Woods may really be addicted to sex.

Woods is just the latest celebrity embroiled in allegations of infidelity.

When does cheating constitute a sex addiction?

The number of women claiming to have had a sexual relationship with Woods has reportedly grown to ten.

Dr. Drew Pinksy, of the VH1 series "Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew," told CBS News, "You've got to wonder about addiction. That's the process that has people doing things that don't make sense."

And that's raised the question -- when does infidelity cross over into sex addiction?

Pinksy speculated that Woods' behavior could be part of a larger problem.

He said, "I wouldn't be surprised if we find out there is a chemical addiction, as well. Sometimes, these sexual compulsions come out as part of an overall addictive process to a chemical."

However, according to Pinksy, there is a way out of this for Woods and his wife, Elin Nordegren.
