The big distinction in terms of our model on impulsive-compulsive sexual behavior is: it recognizes that the behavior even within that it is driven by a number of very, very complex mechanisms.
Is sex addiction a genuine condition or just a misunderstood concept? On this episode of 'All Things Substance', host Betsy Byler dives deep into this controversial topic with Dr. Eli Coleman, a renowned expert in sexual health from the University of Minnesota. They tackle the popular yet scientifically unsupported notion of sex addiction, instead highlighting the impulsive-compulsive model that better explains problematic sexual behaviors. Dr.
Coleman sheds light on why therapists often shy away from labeling sex as an addiction and provides a nuanced understanding of the mechanisms behind out-of-control sexual behavior. The discussion also touches on therapeutic approaches for addressing identity and intimacy issues, offering practical resources for both professionals and those affected. Byler and Dr. Coleman's conversation is not just informative but also engaging and empathetic, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in the complexities of sexual health.
