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 porn 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 book, 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 it's so easy to develop a serious problem with porn and often hard to break free from its clutches. Without judgment or blame, the Maltzes outline the destructive effects of porn use, and offer a commonsense, practical approach for healing supported by innovative exercises, checklists, and suggestions. The Porn Trap will help you to:
Throughout the book are powerful real-life stories from everyday people from all walks of life who have struggled with porn 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. With The Porn Trap, Wendy and Larry Maltz provide a unique blend of help, hope, and healing for all who want to move away from porn, improve their lives, and create genuine intimacy with a partner. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - This is one of the worst books ever writtenThis book is filled with falsehoods, misstatements, inaccuracies, lies, disinformation, and outright stupidity. Overall, it represents the worst sort of scientifically baseless, politically motivated, intentionally harmful, self-serving, claptrap. Never before has such a mean-spirited, hypocritical and fiercely puritanical polemic been presented in such an insidiously "helpful" guise. This book is an excellent example of the old saying about the highway to Hell being paved with "good" intentions, ...

Perhaps this addiction is only considered a problem amongst Christians. If your choice is Jesus and Porn, I think many will perish with their addictions. Hopefully someone will write a helpful book for normal people. I admit Christians suffer more than most, but that does not mean that everyone else should be neglected by the psychological community. I suggest reading "Zen and the Art of Pornography" ... Read More Rating: - Removing ShameThis book takes the shame out of the topic and provides practical solutions to those struggling with the problem. The book is accessible to the lay public, offers hope, and also gives information about the possible roots of an individual's problem. However, if one belongs to a minority sexual orientation, the book may appear less relevant. Rating: - Great for the ScienceI'd give it more stars but as the partner of a PA, it wasn't all that helpful. My husband left me after only 5 months married (but years of abuse) saying he was a porn addict. We weren't going to work on it, he decided. He just wanted his life how it had been for 20+ years. Porn addiction really IS an addiction. It ruined two lives. But this book doesn't have anything for the partners in the rubble left behind, just for partners in stages of recovery while IN the relationship still. There's nothing for us still ... Read More Rating:  - An indispensable guide........As a psychologist and sex therapist, I found "The Porn Trap" to be a compassionate and sound book for clinicians and also for those individuals dealing with the consequences of excessive porn use. This book offers intelligent and healing counsel for anyone suffering with compulsive porn use, while also giving hope and guidance to the partner. When porn has become habitual and the individual has "hit bottom," this book provides strategies to understand, not pathologize, the destructive pattern. The treatment approaches ... Read More |
