Cruise Control: Understanding Sex Addiction in Gay Men

Robert Weiss LCSW, CSAT-S, Founding Director of the Sexual Recovery Institute in Los Angeles and clinical sexual addiction expert avoids political and moral arguments to instead focus on the reality of being a gay man and a sex addict. The book raises questions for the reader like, "Is your sexual behavior causing unintended problems in your life?", while providing readers with useful insight, direction and support. Cruise Control helps both gay sex addicts and therapists gain a better understanding of the difference between Hypersexuality (sex addiction) and non-addictive sexual behavior within the gay experience. This book is a relevant, timely and important contribution to the body of recovery and self-help literature, Cruise Control provides understanding, empathy and encouragement to gay men seeking healthy sexual expression and intimacy - without the losses and pain brought about through active sex addiction. For all those gay guys who have ever said, "Well, it's just a gay thing" or "Having a lot of sex is what gay guys do" - this book is for you.
