The Porn Trap

“An extremely helpful and much needed resource. . . . I highly recommend it."—Harville Hendrix, author of Getting the Love You Want and Receiving Love

Since the explosion of the Internet, the number of people struggling with addiction to Internet pornography has skyrocketed. But there has been a distinct lack of resources to help them until now. The Porn Trap is the first book to take a comprehensive look at sex addiction and other devastating consequences of porn use, addressing the full range of problems that impact everyone from recreational "dabblers" to compulsive addicts, and the people who care about them.

In this groundbreaking self-help guide, sex and relationship therapists Wendy and Larry Maltz take on this important subject with wisdom, authority, and compassion. They shed new light on the power of pornography—revealing why its so easy to develop a serious problem with porn and often hard to break free. Without judgment or blame, the Maltzes outline the destructive effects of porn use, and offer a commonsense, practical approach for addiction recovery supported by innovative exercises, checklists, and suggestions.

The Porn Trap will help you to:

Identify and evaluate the impact of porn Decide whether its time to quit using porn Learn how to stop using porn and deal with cravings Rebuild self-esteem and restore personal integrity Heal a relationship harmed by porn use, and Develop a thriving and satisfying sexual life without porn

Throughout the book are powerful real-life stories from everyday people from all walks of life who have struggled with compulsive sexual behavior and gotten out from under its influence. Their experiences show that no matter how bad things may seem, it is possible to change and eventually triumph over this increasingly common problem.
