Since the explosion of the internet a decade ago, the number of people addicted to pornography has skyrocketed. While people typically snicker at porn addiction, it can be as devastating as addiction to drugs or alcohol, often leaving addicts with ruined lives, and sometimes in jail.
THE PORN TRAP is the first book to examine the full range of pornography–related problems, aimed at the recreational "dabbler" all the way to the compulsive addict, as well as partners of addicts. In an authoritative, nonjudgmental style, sex therapists Wendy and Larry Maltz combine an understanding of porn – a definition and description, its attractions and effects, its history, and the industry that creates it – with simple but effective healing strategies.
It will help readers to: identify and evaluate the impact of porn; decide when it's time to quit using porn; stop using porn and never go back; rebuild self–esteem and restore personal integrity; develop a thriving and satisfying sexual life without porn; strengthen a couple relationship harmed by porn use; and facilitate healing when someone you love has a porn problem.
