Bill Hearing in Atlanta, Georgia has written a terrific article in order to reach people who don’t get the help they need because they resist the word “addict”. He writes, “It seems to me that there are only a
few other words they can use, and each carries its own profound implication
that people often choose to overlook, generally to their own detriment.”

Sally Ryder Brady reveals a life of abuse in her marriage to an alcoholic and sex addict. This memoir, written by a widow who discovered, upon her husband’s death after almost 50 years of marriage, that he had a double life, affairs with men and gay porn, and he was $70 thousand dollars in debt. The memoir is about her reflecting back on her life and trying to figure out “what do I know that I didn’t know I knew until now?” Her husband, a well-regarded editor of Atlantic Monthly, was an emotionally abusive alcoholic and she of course, had grown up in an abusive family, making her a primary candidate to marry an addict.

What is erotic intelligence? The word erotic means the “deliberate seeking of pleasure” and the word intelligence means the “skilled use of reason.” Therefore, erotic intelligence means the deliberate seeking of pleasure using skilled reasoning.
Sex addicts deliberately seek pleasure, yet do so without the skilled use of reason. I wrote Erotic Intelligence: Igniting Hot Healthy Sex While in Recovery from Sex Addiction as a guide to assist individuals in sexual recovery to skillfully move towards healthy, intimate, and erotic sex.

Are you interested in the ways women orgasm? If so, why? If not, why not?!
There are a lot of myths about female orgasm and little understanding about female sexual arousal. The truth is that all women are NOT created equal in this area. Each woman has distinctly different patterns of arousal and needs to understand her own body so that she can bring herself to orgasm. Once a woman is familiar with her sexuality in intimate ways and what her sexual preferences are, she can then communicate them to her partner. Sex Therapy Los Angeles
