Episode 9: "Is Sex Addiction Real?"

Hello,

Episode 9 of Managing Sexuality Intelligently is live! You can listen on iTunes, Spotify, Buzzsprout, YouTube, and all major podcast directories.

Our topic today is sex addiction. Sex addiction is a notion that has been popularized by none other than (you guessed it) psychotherapists. That is, psychotherapists who are largely influenced by religion in the United States, where religion remains, now as always, in the very ether we breathe. But it remains true that, after years of research and scientific debate, "sex addiction" is not actually a recognized mental illness.

Rather than thinking in terms of sex addiction, it’s helpful to remember that we are all sexual beings with varying degrees of sexual needs beyond physical release. If you’re interested in learning more about our sexual needs, check out my book We’re All Like This. Trust me, it will cost far, far less than any sex addiction treatment program.
