Customer Reviews

This book helped my marriage

I didn't understand what was happening in my own home, that I was losing my relationship to a screen filled with images of women I don't know. I truly thought my husband was 'working' all that time in the den, while I was blaming myself, the kids, our finances, tiptoeing around to stay out of his way. Once I got a glimpse of what he was really doing online I bought Cybersex Exposed right away and what a gift it has been to me! It explained in reasonable terms, so many of the problems I had been experiencing. I wasn't crazy after all! And it gave me some real eduction and direction. I would recommend it to anyone.

Realistic guide to understanding cybersex and addiction

Good examples of recreational versus obsessive and addictive use allow the reader to determine if they are at risk, in trouble, or just exploring one of the many avenues available on the Internet. The book offers realistic and useful ways to safeguard computer use for anyone who is compulsive about their use plus lists helpful resources. Parents can also use this book to learn how easily children/teens can get involved in unhealthy cybersex chatting and what to do to keep home computer use safer for everyone. Timely addition to any professional or home library.

A great title from the experts

Jennifer Schneider and Robert Weiss have created a fair-minded and thorough work on the problems real people experience with sexual addiction on the internet. They provide intelligent discussions of the reasons the internet is so potentially addictive, the kinds of behaviors many addicts find themselves engaging in, and real-life examples of addicts' experiences covering a wide range of age, gender, sexual orientation, and social situation. I highly recommend this book both for the individual or co-addict confronting this problem and for therapists and counselors seeking a deeper understanding of the issue.

Cybersex Explained

I just purchased this new book on the problems of Cybersex use and was impressed with its' clarity and depth of understanding. The book seemed to cover the needs of anyone from a casual cybersex 'player' to a truly compulsive cybersex 'addict'. It was particularly helpful to make use of the section that offered resources toward getting help for anyone who thinks they might have a problem with online sex addiction. My wife has a friend whose husband spends a lot of time in online sex chats and downloading porn. Some of what I read about the spouses problems will probably really be helpful to her. This is one of the better self-help titles I have read in a long time.
