Picture

     Sex addiction remains a diagnostic conundrum. While there is no universally recognized diagnosis according to the Diagnositic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), the definitive psychiatric manual, sex addiction is in fact recognized by many (mostly Western) countries as a clinical disorder, and is treated as such. When it is clinically recognized, the problem seems to be more of a treatment controversy; is it a psychological disorder or an addictive disease process? Millions of American dollars are spent annually in private practices, residential treatment centers, and inpatient psychiatric facilities treating this conversial and some would say phantom psychiatric condition.

In 2006, my research was the first to demonstrate that sex addiction is a neuropschological disorder linked to early childhood sexual abuse that ocurred during critical periods of neurodevelpment. It was demonstrated that sexual addiction is the result of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), and the use of sexual arousal and satiation to medicate unbearable and overwhelming  emotions endemic to the massive shame that is part and parcel of NPD. The summation of this research can be found in the article featured on the Home page of this website.

It became clear that sex addiction was either disbelieved and discounted entirely, or misperceived and mis-treated by those that did believe and were in the position to offer treatment for this population of individuals. This website is an attempt to educate those seeking answers. This website is updated continuously, presenting cutting-edge, scientific and evidence-based information as well as informed opinion pieces based upon such evidence. The mission of this website is to inform the public; those that suffer from, know, love, and live with a sexually addicted individual. Sexual addiciton is not going away anytime soon. The aim is to provide a means with which the public can become better educated to the disease itself, the evidence-based best practices to properly treat this population, and the steps necessary to help ameliorate and ultimately prevent this treatable condition.
