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.

Join me, Alex Katehakis, MFT, CSAT-S, CST, and Lance Tango, MA for coffee and pastry as we take a Jungian perspective on sexual addiction at the Center for Healthy Sex on July 9. Lance and I will look at the polarity of the body and mind, meaning we will examine how sex addict’s split off and compartmentalize so they can act out sexually with a high level of denial and dissociation.

Infidelity is a painful experience of betrayal and experts say it can be healed.
Imagine finding out that the person you trust the most has hurt you more than anyone. People who have been betrayed express feeling like the world around them no longer makes any longer, that they can’t trust their instincts, and that every thing they once believed in has lost it’s value.
If you or someone you know has suffered from infidelity take time to get the help you need in order to heal. Take a look at Janis Spring-Abrams book, “After the Affair” and read the article below.

Erotic Intelligence is a long awaited book for those in recovery from sex addiction who want to experience sex in healthy, erotic, and life-affirming ways.
When sex is hot and heavy with your partner, there’s nothing to talk about. Over time your sexual attraction, libido, desires, and interests change. If you don’t talk about it sooner rather than later, you could find yourself in martial gridlock.
Check out this article and start talking about sex daily - you won’t be sorry!
Are you married to a sex addict or in relationship with one? Have you recently learned that your partner has been cheating on you? Have you already been through the pain of discovery and need support to keep working on yourself and the relationship?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, join Rebecca Ishida, MFT beginning January 13, 2010 from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m for our weekly partner’s group.
Support from others who are struggling with the pain and heartbreak of betrayal in a safe environment will help you to heal. You will feel better and stronger when you can express your feelings, understand what sex addiction is, who you are in relation to it, the effects it has had on you, and whether or not you should stay in your relationship.
