Product Description
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 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: - 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 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.

 This is one of the worst books ever written November 20, 2008
Number-One-Reviewer
This 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, except in this case, it is highly dubious if any of the authors' intentions were actually "good."
 Why does everything have to be about Jesus? October 22, 2008

There isn't a single book on this topic that doesn't cite Jesus as the solution. 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" to get a balanced look at the issue.
Removing Shame October 17, 2008
ai chi teacher (Eugene, Oregon)
This 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.
Great for the Science September 10, 2008

I'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 struggling with being left by someone in denial. Since no one has written a non-religious book on being the partner of a PA, we have to get what we can from other books like this. What is special about this book is that it gives names to all the chemicals in the brain of the PA and what they are doing to cause such chaos in the PA's life. If you want to be able to explain to people how this is an addiction and very dangerous, this book will give you that vocab.
 An indispensable guide........ September 3, 2008

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 by Wendy and Larry Maltz offer the reader hopeful, clear, and supportive guidance to reestablish intimacy and pleasure in a relationship. I highly recommend this book!
