Sex Addiction & Porn Addiction - A Painful Problem for All

Problematic sexual behaviors (often called sex addiction) can lead to intense pain and suffering and often undermine the foundations of trust in even healthy, committed relationships.  For partners affected by these behaviors, feelings of betrayal, anger, and abandonment can seem inescapable.  For the individual struggling with the behaviors, guilt, shame, embarrassment, loss of relationships and more can persist indefinitely if no therapeutic intervention takes place to fully address the underlying causes and to begin the healing process.

Are Sex Addiction & Porn Addiction Real?

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, such as sex addiction or porn addiction.  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.  Learn more about the evolution of clinical understanding in this area here and here.  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").  Learn more about IPSB here.
