Goofs
In the beginning Valerie says that she lost her virginity in 1993 and some minutes later she says "since that passed 14 years"; the engraving on her grandmother's grave says: "Marie Tasso 1934-2006", implying there are only 13 years between 1993 and 2006.

Quotes
Marie Tasso - Abuela de Valére: A woman without a trade has two options: marriage or prostitution. That's about the same.

Crazy credits
Soon after the ending credits start, there is an extra scene of Valerie offering her services to a stranger for free.

Well-acted, attractive film but it's nothing more than an homage to Gregory Dark.

Diary Of A Sex Addict is a nice looking film and it's well-acted. I think they were serious in making a sexually-charged drama and not some sexploitation film.

My big problem with this film is that everything you'll see, you've seen before if you have watched all of Alexander Gregory Hippolyte's films from the early 1990's. Sex addict who keeps a diary? Check. Hunky mystery man who turns out to be a jealous maniac who wants Valere to himself? Check. Cigarette smoking? Check. A brothel? Check. Tons and tons 'o nudity? Check.

It is a well-done film with good acting but take that all away and you're left with the same dated film that Gregory Dark was making back in the early 90's for the MFV market. I really don't see anything special or groundbreaking in this one. However, it is nice to see somebody without augmentations like Belen Fabra here.
