Porn Trap: The Essential Guide to Overcoming Problems Caused by Pornography

Author: Wendy Maltz

Since the explosion of the Internet and other forms of digital technology, the number of people addicted to pornography has skyrocketed. 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 porn's clutches. Without judgment or blame, they outline the destructive effects of porn use, and offer a common sense, practical approach for healing supported by innovative exercises, checklists, and suggestions.

The Porn Trap will help you to:

• Identify and evaluate the impact of porn
• Decide whether it's time to quit using porn
• Learn how to stop using porn and deal with cravings
• Rebuild self-esteem and restore personal integrity
• Heal a relationship harmed by porn use, and,
• Develop a thriving and satisfying sexual life without porn.

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 from 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.

WithThe Porn Trap, Wendy and Larry Maltz provide a unique blend of help, hope, and healing for anyone who wants to move away from porn, improve their lives and create genuine intimacy with a partner.
