Help for Men and Women Who Struggle with Porn and Sex Addiction

You want this cycle to end and want intimacy with your partner. You are afraid that your partner and kids will hate you and know that the problems at work will only get worse. You’ve tried to stop and promised you would stay away from that area of town. You white knuckled your way through intrusive thoughts as you avoided websites on your phone and computer.

You aren’t sure where to turn for help. Your partner told you that if things don’t change the relationship will end. You don’t want to lose your family. You are ready to take the steps to manage this problem and learn to live a life with less anxiety and more ease. You want to work with someone who specializes in these unique behavioral patterns, and need a therapist who gets you, is willing to hear your deepest thoughts, fears, and feelings of shame and guilt that hold you back from the life you want. You’ve sought help from counselors in the past but never shared this part of your life. Your partner said that if things don’t change, they’ll leave, but the fighting and screaming is driving you back to the porn and sex habits that are ruining your life. You are worried that your boss and colleagues will find out about your secrets, and you need someone who can help without ruining your life.

How do I know I need help?

Addictive substances, compulsive sexual interactions, and pornographic images impact the brain and body. When sexual behaviors disrupt your work, relationships, and self-esteem, it is time to seek help for the behaviors that range from compulsive masturbation, binge-watching porn, downloading and saving pornographic images to secret back-up drives, and subscriptions to private chat rooms and interactive web-cams, and using dating apps to hook up with sexual partners. These patterns can cause financial distress and ruin, erectile dysfunction, and intense conflict in marriages and family relationships. The repeated betrayals cause distrust and ruin lives, and have all but destroyed your marriage. Your partner is demanding change, and you stop for a few days or weeks, but always return to the porn site, web cam rooms, and dating apps to fill an insatiable need for intensity and release.
