The Heart of Jacks Podcast

Episode #23 (S02E01) - The Myth of Sex Addiction

Guest: Dr. David Ley
Released January 19, 2025

Grappling with the big questions like:

  • Is being an army brat as effective as witness protection?
  • If you're late for work because you are enjoying porn, do you need a 12 step program or a different job?
  • And Dr David Ley on the myth of sex addiction.

Segment 1: Paul returns with questions about sex addiction, plus a very niche pet peeve about "addicted" masturbators.
Segment 2: Introduction to Dr. David Ley, clinical psychologist and author, known for his critical stance regarding sex addiction. His first book, Insatiable Wives, won a Silver Medal in the Foreword Magazine Book of the Year in 2009. A Publishers Weekly review said that his book The Myth of Sex Addiction "makes a thoughtful and persuasive argument, using case studies and ample references to the work of other psychologists to flesh out his case. While serving as an excellent resource on sex addiction, Ley's study also sheds light on the myriad cultural and sociological factors that influence relationships." [Wikipedia]
