A great title from the experts,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cybersex Exposed: Simple Fantasy or Obsession? (Paperback)
Jennifer Schneider and Robert Weiss have created a fair-minded and thorough work on the problems real people experience with sexual addiction on the internet. They provide intelligent discussions of the reasons the internet is so potentially addictive, the kinds of behaviors many addicts find themselves engaging in, and real-life examples of addicts' experiences covering a wide range of age, gender, sexual orientation, and social situation. I highly recommend this book both for the individual or co-addict confronting this problem and for therapists and counselors seeking a deeper understanding of the issue.

Cybersex Explained,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cybersex Exposed: Simple Fantasy or Obsession? (Paperback)
I just purchased this new book on the problems of Cybersex use and was impressed with its' clarity and depth of understanding. The book seemed to cover the needs of anyone from a casual cybersex 'player' to a truly compulsive cybersex 'addict'. It was particularly helpful to make use of the section that offered resources toward getting help for anyone who thinks they might have a problem with online sex addiction. My wife has a friend whose husband spends a lot of time in online sex chats and downloading porn. Some of what I read about the spouses problems will probably really be helpful to her. This is one of the better self-help titles I have read in a long time.

Realistic guide to understanding cybersex and addiction,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cybersex Exposed: Simple Fantasy or Obsession? (Paperback)
Good examples of recreational versus obsessive and addictive use allow the reader to determine if they are at risk, in trouble, or just exploring one of the many avenues available on the Internet. The book offers realistic and useful ways to safeguard computer use for anyone who is compulsive about their use plus lists helpful resources. Parents can also use this book to learn how easily children/teens can get involved in unhealthy cybersex chatting and what to do to keep home computer use safer for everyone. Timely addition to any professional or home library.
