Description
Technology has significantly changed our world. Sexual imagery and encounters can now be accessed anywhere, anytime, using portable electronic devices. Users can generate a stream of graphic pornography, a wide variety of virtual sexual activities, and casual, anonymous, or paid-for sexual encounters with a click or a tap. Simply put, we have greater access to highly stimulating sexual content, and potential sexual partners, with much less built-in accountability. Porn addicts are especially vulnerable to the lure of digital technology and the seemingly endless array of stimulation it provides. Research suggests that cyber-porn addicts spend at least eleven or twelve hours per week online viewing porn.Today, all forms of sex addiction are technology driven—from porn websites to webcams to casual sex hook-up apps found on smartphones. Sex addicts organize their lives around the pursuit of sexual activity with self or others, spending inordinate amounts of time viewing and masturbating to porn or planning, pursuing, and engaging in sex acts. At the same time, they neglect important relationships, work, and personal responsibilities. Overwhelming feelings of guilt, shame, and remorse invade when the acting out ends.While it's complicated, recovery is possible. Always Turned On shows readers how to turn those temptations off while providing practical long-term solutions for recovery.Robert Weiss, MSW, is a therapist, international speaker, and regular blogger on Psych Central and the Huffington Post.Jennifer P. Schneider, MD, PhD, is a physician, international speaker, and the author of nine books.

Authors Weiss and Schneider have written a book which is sure to be of interest to therapists, sociologists and those people entangled in the web. Subtitled "Sex Addiction in the Digital Age," Always Turned On is targeted at those who compulsively use the internet to meet their sexual needs, often in place of healthy sexuality in the context of a healthy relationship. In the Author's Note, Weiss and Schneider state the book is not "about morality, cultural beliefs, cultural norms or religion." The intended audience by inference is those who know they have a problem and want to change. The authors give examples in first person composites of those who have struggled with problem behaviors including difficulties at work and home, family members being exposed to explicit pictures, expenditure of large sums to feed the online habit, behaviors leading to affairs both online and IRL, "in real life." In addition to laying the groundwork, the authors present excellent worksheets on boundary settings and give very useful resources for individuals and therapists.A further note from this reader. In their nuanced Author's Note, Weiss and Schneider, make no judgment about online pornography. They do mention numbers about the volume of Internet traffic devoted to sexual activity, but they don't mention the profits Internet providers reap from delivering porn. Porn is big business not only for the people who run websites, many of them offshore, but also major US corporations. Perhaps this topic is better left to an economic or sociological study, but many of the "performers" or "models" in the porn industry come from third-world countries where it appears they may not be free agents.
