Is sex addiction treatment big business OR is the problem growing so rapidly that treatment centers are needed? The Los Angeles Times ran an article on Monday, November 15 posing these questions and begain the article with the services the Center for Healthy Sex provides:
When she hung out her shingle as a sex addiction therapist in 1997, Alexandra Katehakis had only a handful of colleagues.
“There were five people in this field and we all knew each other,” she said.
These days, Katehakis, a licensed marriage and family therapist, has hundreds of competitors and has grown her Los Angeles solo practice into the Center for Healthy Sex, “a full-blown organization” with a team of counselors, an intensive outpatient program, a range of therapy groups, an expansive website and training for other therapists.
Celebrities have been the greatest evangelists for treatment. “My practice wouldn’t exist without them,” Katehakis said.

A recent article in Marie Claire Magazine talks about how sex addiction affects females. I believe women get caught in a neuro-hormonal roller coaster where they chase sex for love hoping to meet “the one.” Take a look at this well-written article. Female sex Addiction Treatment Los Angeles

8-9pm PST on KFNX1100 The Law and “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” - With the Attorney Winning the Ruling in Federal Court
Mr. Woods is a partner in the litigation practice of White & Case and practices complex commercial litigation throughout the United States. Recently in Federal Court, Mr. Woods represented the Log Cabin Republicans, a nonprofit organization, pro bono in a challenge to the Government’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, which prevents gays and lesbians from openly revealing their sexuality or risk discharge. The lawsuit was seeking a ruling that the policy violates constitutional protections of due process, equal protection, and freedom of speech Just this month a Federal Judge in California struck down the discriminatory federal policy barring gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military. U.S. District Judge Virginia A. Phillips said the ban violated the first amendment and due process rights of gay and lesbian service members. The judge will issue an injunction to halt the policy, but the Justice Department can appeal.

Virginia Gilbert, MFT intern and writer asked me this question. Partner of a sex addict. Follow this link to read our conversation:
Cybersex activities are not only viewing or downloading pornography along with masturbation, but also reading and writing sexually explicit letters and stories, e-mailing to set up personal meetings with someone, placing ads to meet sexual partners, visiting sexually oriented chat rooms, and engaging in interactive online affairs which include real-time viewing of each other using electronic cameras hooked up to the computer.
According to Dr. Mark Schwartz’s book “Sex on the Net is like heroin,” “Cybersex grabs people and takes over their lives, and treatments are very difficult because the people affected don’t want to give it up.”
