5.0 out of 5 starsA Must Read in Today's Digital Age
By Carol Sheets on March 3, 2015
Format: Paperback
I currently do the only internet radio show on sexual addiction and I believe Always Turned On:Sex Addiction in the Digital Age is currently the BEST book detailing how people can get seduced into these compulsive behaviors that wreak havoc in their lives. Not only is is it is well written, but it is a "one stop" for people who want to understand both the why's and the resources available to break free from this compulsive addiction. The Cybersex Addiction Test is especially helpful in self diagnosing this problem. It is an absolute "must read" for clinicians who want training and clients who want to learn how to manage and create healing in their lives.

5.0 out of 5 starsA solid and comprehensive overview with many useful suggestions
By Bill Herring, LCSW on March 3, 2015
Format: Paperback
Well, they've done it again: two esteemed leaders in the field of sex addiction treatment have combined their talents to co-author a timely book of great relevance to our modern culture. The great technological advances of the last few years have the capability of bringing people together like never before. Unfortunately this is not always for the better: sometimes a person can get lost in the sexual excitement digital technology can provide in abundance. This book covers all of the ways that high-tech culture can feed into the spiral of sexually addictive behavior, and then offers a map for a way out to true sexual health and human connection. This book is not anti-technology or anti-sex. It is instead pro-connection, pro-intimacy and pro-health.

The authors do an excellent job describing the various avenues of technology-driven compulsive sexual behavior. They review how the constant and rapid changes in digital technology can create challenges to people who have never before had such potentially sexualized access to each other. They describe how some people go well past using technology to pursue sexual pleasure and novelty and enter the unending and unsatisfying cycle of sexual addiction.

The book catalogs the kinds of problems that can develop, highlights some of the differences men and women can face, distinguishing sex addiction from love/romance addiction. It includes chapters that describe the impact of digital technology-driven sex addiction upon partners and families. But this is not just a book about problems. It offers real solutions for bringing healing and intimacy in place of disconnection and addiction.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsHelp for those entangled in the web
By Avid Reader on January 20, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Authors Weiss and Schneider have written a book which is sure to be of interest to therapists, sociologists and those people entangled in the web. Subtitled "Sex Addiction in the Digital Age," Always Turned On is targeted at those who compulsively use the internet to meet their sexual needs, often in place of healthy sexuality in the context of a healthy relationship. In the Author's Note, Weiss and Schneider state the book is not "about morality, cultural beliefs, cultural norms or religion." The intended audience by inference is those who know they have a problem and want to change. The authors give examples in first person composites of those who have struggled with problem behaviors including difficulties at work and home, family members being exposed to explicit pictures, expenditure of large sums to feed the online habit, behaviors leading to affairs both online and IRL, "in real life." In addition to laying the groundwork, the authors present excellent worksheets on boundary settings and give very useful resources for individuals and therapists.

A further note from this reader. In their nuanced Author's Note, Weiss and Schneider, make no judgment about online pornography. They do mention numbers about the volume of Internet traffic devoted to sexual activity, but they don't mention the profits Internet providers reap from delivering porn. Porn is big business not only for the people who run websites, many of them offshore, but also major US corporations. Perhaps this topic is better left to an economic or sociological study, but many of the "performers" or "models" in the porn industry come from third-world countries where it appears they may not be free agents.

5.0 out of 5 starsA book for professionals as well as lay people, for therapists as well as clients
By Gary R. Schoener on March 7, 2015
Format: Paperback
Both of these authors have made very useful contributions to the professional literature in the past, so I was not surprised when I was similarly impressed by Always Turned On: Sex Addiction in the Digital Age. One of the primary uses of the internet is to access pornography and as such there exists temptations, triggers, and other things which can cause an underlying problem to explode. Access to the internet in most countries is very broad. As the authors note, people who might not have felt at risk in the past can find themselves swept up into a very new set of challenges. This book has some useful background on both the internet and sex addiction, and also a great many practical ideas about how to both recognize problems and deal with them. It is professionally sound, but also clearly stated and has a great deal of common sense guidance and advice. This is a "must read" for behavioral health care professionals and also can be very useful as a reading assignment for clients. For those not seeking help yet but who recognize a possible problem, my advice is to at least read this book and do some thinking. This is a book I will give to some friends, but will also use as a clinical psychologist. It is now listed in my bibliographies of work on sexual compulsivety, but also on the challenges of our electronic world.
