Directory overview

What it is

Wendy Maltz is a certified sex therapist and one of the more respected clinical voices on this subject; she and Larry Maltz wrote what functions as the secular counterpart to most of this directory. The Porn Trap covers the whole range — recreational users who have noticed something shifting, through to people whose use is fully compulsive — and does not require the reader to identify as an addict before it will help them, which is a genuine barrier in twelve-step-shaped material. It explains how problems develop, how pornography affects sexual functioning and intimacy, and how to reduce and stop, with substantial content for partners as well. Published by William Morrow. Recommend it to someone who will not engage with a Christian resource, or alongside one for the clinical detail; it comes with no faith framing at all.
