Description
The number of affordable, easy links to pleasurable sexual online content is on the rise. Activity increases with the accessibility of technology. So, too, has sex addiction. People struggling with sex, porn, and love addiction typically have little understanding of this incredibly complicated disease. Sex Addiction 101 covers everything from what sexual addiction is and how it can best be treated, to how it affects various subgroups of the population such as women, gays, and teenagers. The book also provides sex addicts with strategies to protect themselves from the online sexual onslaught. Sex Addiction 101 is intended to enlighten the clinical population as well as actual sex addicts and their loved ones. Along with his mentor Patrick Carnes, Weiss has become the face of and driving force behind understanding and treating sex addiction; this book should be a core title in every addiction collection.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
“Rob presents this material in straightforward,
concise language that any reader can understand. Clearly, this work is intended
to enlighten not only the clinical population, but actual sex addicts and those
who love them. If you are a therapist, my sincere hope is that you will find
something here that helps you to help others, and if you are a sex addict or
the partner thereof, my hope is that you will come away with a better
understanding of this complicated issue, and also with some useful ideas on how
to overcome this very serious addiction.”
-From the Foreword by David Sack, MD

Featured Reviews
Mark K, Educator
There is so much confusion about what sexual addiction is and what it is not. There are some who would say that the phenomenon of “sex addiction” is just a myth that ultimately tries to get horny and many times misogynistic men off the hook. Robert Weiss writes with amazing clarity and succinctness when it comes to the topic. Weiss makes a compelling case for sex addiction and the picture is sure not pretty. He helps readers understand the nature of sex addiction, shares compelling and sometimes heartbreaking stories of sex addicts and thankfully shows us how they can find hope and healing. A must read for therapists, pastors and those are intimately affected by the dis-ease of sex addiction.
