Sex addiction is real and very powerful. It pulls at you all the time and you can’t focus on anything but how bad you want it. I’ve seen family members and friends have their lives turned all upside down because of porn. I was caught up in it for awhile but after some family members went through horrible times It scared me and I was able to get on a good path before I got real deep. My brother and I have created a website that is all about addiction. Hopefully we can help people understand what addiction is and how it takes hold of us. How it affects our brain and what we can do to overcome. If you would like to visit our site it’s http://www.addictioninsite.com If you would like to put a link on your site so others can have another source of information feel free. Thanks for all your information and your fight against pornography addiction. Stay strong!

I know there is a growing body of evidence regarding porn and sex addiction. I chose to relate personal story because no one can refute my first hand experience on the matter.
I’m very sorry for your divorce. Sometimes there is no other way.

Destroy Porn. http://www.abattleplan.com/2012/01/why-there-is-such-thing-as-sex-addiction-a-rebuttal-to-dr-david-ley/#comment-1384 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 20:48:04 +0000 http://abattleplan.com/?p=373#comment-1384 Mega-kudos for picking apart Dr. Ley’s arguments against porn addiction! I’ve heard many of the same arguments over and over but it was nice to finally read someone pick apart each one individually. My only reservation might be that you focused too much on your own personal experience with porn addiction as proof of your argument rather than quoting some of growing body of scientific research-based evidence that porn addiction is real, the link to Kastleman’s book notwithstanding.

Speaking of personal experiences, my ex-husband was addicted to Internet porn. Although he promised me he would stop, I didn’t trust him and used a service (see the link above) to find out just how many pornographic sites he was visiting and the report I got from the service revealed he was going to sex-related chat rooms… which to me is 1/2 step away from cheating! Yada yada yada, six months, two shouting matches and one restraining order later I filed for divorce.

So much for the contention but somehow that porn is a “victimless” vice.

As the wife of a recovering sex addict I completely agree with you on this issue. Sex & porn addiction is absolutely a problem that is affecting so many people.

Ok – let’s just take the word addiction out of there . . let’s just call it sex & porn compulsion . . . whatever people want to call it is fine. But the fact is that more and more people are having major problems with it, it is affecting so many people and their families and these people TRULY need help.

And yes, you are absolutely right . . . my hubby’s behaviors are his fault and it sucked! He chose to make the awful choices that he made . . .he is an addict! But he is also a good man and capable of recovery!!! We are now on the road to recovery and to be honest, we are happier than we have been in a long time. It’s a long and tough road . . . but there is hope!

I’m telling my story on my blog . . . check it out! http://mishkawifeofsexaddict.blogspot.com/
