very thorough treatment of cybersex and internet porn addiction with psychological & emotional etiology -- discusses the cunning, baffling, powerful addiction of the internet & its ease of access to pornographic sites & cybersex chat rooms -- carries through to the financial & interpersonal & legal expenses that may result from this addiction as well as destroyed families & lost employment

There is a reason Tiger Woods went to Patrick Carnes when he needed rehabilitation for his sexual addiction. This is a profession work with amazing personal stories by addicts. Having been to Gentle Path myself I can vouch that his approach really works. Head and Shoulders above the competition by a professional with 30 years of experience working with sex addicts and sexaholics.
A great "start" book July 27, 2010

If you
know someone who is addicted to sex or porn this is a great way to get some idea of what IS going on in their head. It is NOT a cure all book. It explains the flawed thinking that can occur when a person becomes literally as addicted to sex/porn as, say, Tiger Woods.

The book gave me and my boyfriend a better understanding of his behavior. Why he couldn't stop the secret dating, and the internet e-mails and porn. Fantasizing about sexual situations, whether the grass was greener somewhere other than with the life he knew.
For me it was very painful to find about his affairs, for him it was something which brought him a lot of shame and misery because he saw how much it hurt me. We are still working through the pain and realizing that it takes a lot of work on an ongoing basis to stay free from the temptations which are so easily available the internet and have the power to destroy a person's life. I highly recommend this book I was able to understand the reason of his compulsive behavior and he understood that he was a sex addict that need it help.
Really covers the topic January 28, 2010

This book is a really good read if you (or dealing with someone who is) are addicted to internet pornography. It's a really silent addiction, with a lot of baggage, and this book confronts the causes, side effects and solutions, for single people and couples as well. Basically, if you are addicted to porn, you will find this book will help get rid of much of the shame that having this seemingly laughable addiction brings. And to put it another way, the book shines a really bright light, on a dark uncomfortable subject. It's based on the author's solid clinical research, and years as a sex therapist.
I also recommend the book "The Porn Trap" by Wendy Maltz (and some other guy....)
