Sex and Addiction: An Interview with Dr. Coleman

Is sex addiction a real thing? What does the research say about problematic sexual behaviors? How can we evaluate potential issues with sexual behavior?

The word addiction and the word sex shouldn’t be put together, at least by therapists.  It’s used in popular culture often, but we didn’t get trained that it's an addiction. There’s a reason for that, it’s not an addiction. That’s what science tells us. Today’s episode is an interview with an expert in the field of sexual health, Dr. Eli Coleman of the University of Minnesota.
