Sex Addiction & Porn Addiction - A Painful Problem for All
Do you feel like your relationship with sex is out of control? Is compulsive porn use interfering with your life? Perhaps you are struggling with overwhelming sexual thoughts and urges or feel like your sexual desires are controlling you. For many of our clients, their sexual behaviors are very distressing to them and can lead to feelings of shame, strain their relationships, or conflict with their values. You may have tried to change your behavior, but found it difficult to stop on your own. We'll develop personalized strategies to help you regain control and build a healthy, fulfilling relationship with sex that aligns with your values.
What is Sex Addiction & Porn Addiction?
There is currently a significant scholarly debate regarding how best to conceptualize and treat sexual behavior problems. What is clear is that there is not one common accurate explanation for all sexual behavior problems. The sex addiction and porn addiction models do not account for the variety of clinical phenomenon involved in various problematic sexual behavior patterns. At the same time, it is also clear that many individuals have a sense of loss of control over their sexual behaviors that to them feels like addiction.
What is needed is much more nuance and clinical precision than the sex addiction and porn addiction models provide. Our team is advancing the most progressive clinical model for sexual behavior problems to date, called the Integrative Problematic Sexual Behavior Model (or the IPSB model).
