A Professional Take On Cybersex and Porn Addiction
I have spent the past 15 years of my professional life treating sexual addiction. Back when I started this work, those of us working with sex addicts were more often challenged in the media and in professional communities to “prove” that the diagnosis of sexual addiction actually existed, rather than encouraged to discuss how the problem is diagnosed or solved. The Internet has changed all of that. There are now so many men and women simply checked out day after day from their work, families and social lives from hours spent online – viewing porn, researching and hooking up with prostitutes or finding anonymous sex partners, so many lives are now affected, that question has moved from “is there really such a thing as sex addiction?” to “ok there is a problem, what can we do about it?”
