From Stigma to Support: Navigating Sexual Health in LGBTQ+ Recovery

It's not really always realistic to tell somebody: don't have sex for the rest of your life.
Ever wondered how sexual health intertwines with addiction recovery, especially within the LGBTQ+ community? In this eye-opening episode of 'Voices of Pride', hosts Kaylee Hoaby and Luke Miller sit down with Graham Waitt, an Outpatient counselor at Pride Institute. Graham shares his expertise on Pride's specialized sexual health program, offering a compassionate look into the challenges and triumphs of untangling problematic sexual behaviors and co-occurring addiction disorders.
Listeners will gain a deeper understanding of how substance use impacts sexual health, the brain, and the journey towards recovery. The conversation touches on the long-term effects of substances like meth on sexual behavior, the healthy integration of pornography, and the importance of education free from judgment. Addressing the stigma often associated with promiscuity in the LGBTQ+ community, this episode sheds light on the critical need for seeking help and treatment for sex addiction.
Whether you're part of the LGBTQ+ community or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. It's a heartfelt discussion that underscores the importance of empathy, understanding, and the robust support systems available. Tune in for an engaging and informative conversation that could make all the difference in your or your loved one's recovery journey.
