Porn & Erectile Dysfunction (Video)

Men in their 20s and 30s are reporting “copulatory impotence,” which is the inability to maintain an erection with an in-person sexual partner. These men report they still objectively find their partner attractive, but need to fantasize porn-like scenarios to get or maintain an erection.

The abundance of Viagra and Cialis commercials portrays erectile dysfunction as a normal, common phenomenon. Not, however, for men under 40! It’s often the porn!

Excellent NYT article on Betrayal

Here’s a excellent article about the effects of betrayal from the New York Times. It’s a very elegant articulation of the depth and breadth of disorientation experienced by partners of sex addicts.

10 Reasons to Learn Sex Addiction-Induced Trauma Model from Dr. Minwalla

MInwalla_SAITM_Berkeley_Sept24-27_optJPEG 2I’m very excited that Dr. Omar Minwalla is coming to the Bay Area in September (9/24 – 9/27) to train sex addiction professionals how to work from the Sex Addiction-Induced Trauma Model. I believe this training will produce a shift in how I work with my clients. (Plus, I totally want to geek-out with my peers about finer points of skillful sex addiction treatment!)

My 10 Reasons to Learn the Sex Addiction-Induced (SAI) Trauma Model from Dr. Minwalla:

1. I had an extremely difficult partner case last year. My consultation with Dr. Minwalla produced a big shift in this client’s treatment and her resilience.

2. The SAI Trauma Model extends beyond “how to treat the partner.” I’d like to better understand how that all fits together clinically.

3. Dr. Minwalla’s work declared that partners’ reactions to discovery were symptoms of trauma. Why not learn directly from the man who pioneered this thinking?

4. Traditional sex-addiction treatment protocol sometimes bristles against my sensibilities and politics. I’d like to supplement my case conceptualization with other well-considered viewpoints.

Speaking Engagement in San Francisco

Dear Bay Area Colleagues,

I’ll be giving a lecture at Fort Mason in San Francisco. It’s sponsored by The Meadows treatment center for addiction.

This talk is 7pm on the first Wednesday in November. That’s right—the night after the first Tuesday in November. (I’m only talking for an hour or so. You can be home in time for Daily Show and Colbert.)

Hope to see you there!

Signs Your Partner Might Be a Sex Addict

Are you struggling to make sense of behaviors of your husband, wife, partner? Partners of sex- and love-addicts often report they sensed something was “off” before the addiction was exposed.

Possible indicators of sexually compulsivity include:

  • Staying up late to surf the web or watch television
  • Frequently isolating from spouses or partners, and not informing them of their whereabouts
  • Acts controlling during sexual activity, or has frequent mood swings before or after sex
  • Is demanding about sex, especially regarding time and place
  • Gets angry if someone shows concern about a problem with pornography
