Dr. Prause dives into the nitty-gritty of what research actually says about problematic sexual behaviors and pornography. She explains why the term 'sex addiction' isn't recognized by major medical manuals like the DSM and ICD, and instead, how these behaviors differ from having a high sex drive. Dr.
Prause also discusses the brain's response to pornography and the effectiveness of various treatment methods for sexual compulsivity. Throughout the episode, they unravel common misconceptions and stigmas surrounding sex therapy, making this an enlightening listen for anyone curious about the intersection of sex and addiction.
