Winston Bennett was fortunate to play in the NBA and have a successful coaching career with the University of Kentucky and the Boston Celtics. However, he nearly lost his family, career and everything that he worked for because of his extreme addiction to sex.

Bennett's addiction began in high school and increased once he gained notoriety during his playing days in college and in the NBA.

"In terms of the amount of women I had at my disposal, one was never enough," Bennett said during an interview with ESPN's "Outside The Lines." "Three to four different women in a day was very typical for me. It was a wonder that I could practice or do anything else because I was so consumed with gratifying myself."

Bennett's addiction to sex became a top priority during his time off the basketball court during the 1980s.

"It's hard to say which one I loved more — basketball or sex," he said. "I spent a great deal of time having sex, calling for sex, cruising for sex and looking for sex. I rarely used protection."

His decision to sleep with dozens of women without using a condom led to him infecting his wife with two STDs.

"The women were beautiful, ugly, slim and fat," he said. "There was no prejudice. The goal was to have sex. I could care less who it was with. I wanted to sleep with two or three women before I went home. It was the thrill of the hunt."

Bennett recently underwent treatment for sex addiction and says that he hasn't had sex outside of his marriage in nearly three years. –amir shaw
