Now you can download porn  directly to your iPhone. Anyone can watch porn any where, any place, and any time and you (or your kids) can be subjected to watching it if you happen to be trapped next to a viewer - like on an airplane.  According to a recent article, one in five iPhone users in the UK have used their devices to download porn.

According to this msnbc article many teens are sexting on their cell phones and on-line.  Sexting means sending any kind of sexually explicit photos or videos of oneself or another or sexual chatting either on-line or via cell phone. It seems that teens have a sense of invincibility when it comes to the dangers of risk-taking because the reward center of their brains have formed, but the prefrontal areas that manage good judgment have not.

Many states have serious consequences for sending or receiving sexual photos.  Supervising your teens and talking to them directly about the consequences of these behaviors is important to help them stay safe.  For more information on sexting and to read the msnbc article go to:

More and more experts are in agreeement that compulsive sexual behaviors can be a problem that ruin people’s lives.  The question still remains whether sex can be an addiction or whether it’s part of a personality disorder.

When does your recovery begin?  Are you waiting for tomorrow, the next holiday or “someday” in the future?  

Your life is on now and if you are living a double life, lying to yourself and the people you most care about, it’s time. 

Time to take a stand for your own personal truth and time to reclaim your life.  If you’re waiting for “someday” then make that day today because the sun is setting somewhere in the world and life is short!

In an article posted at Sexualhealthconnection.com, the author states, “More and more people are putting themselves forward as sex addicts. Such is the extent of the problem that the Mayo clinic estimates up to 6 percent of adults in the United States are affected. The reason why some experts use the term ‘addiction’ or ‘compulsive sexual behavior’, is because the course and effects of the condition closely matches that of diseases such as alcoholism.”
