Tip of the iceberg?

I have a sick feeling that my experience is only part of the tip of a very big iceberg that we face as a very troubled society.

Dan Rather's article in the Huffington Post describes the trafficking of child prostitutes on the west coast.

It's so sad and disturbing, because I see our society getting worse before it gets better because inappropriate sexuality is so accepted in the mainstream.

But all the more reason to speak out, to shine light where there is darkness, misinformation and denial. It's time to start talking about what is HEALTHY rather than what people want to do. Because sometimes what people want to do, (or what they're willing to do) even if it's legal, isn't healthy and we need the tools to be able to make that distinction. Do what one will, fine. But let's have a clearer line about what results in healthy, well adjusted adults who are able to have intimate relationships.

More addicts getting help in the mainstream

Sex Addiction on Huffington Post

Lots of interesting conversation swirling around:

MPJ has a great post on The Second Road in response to Annie Sprinkle's quote in the article "Am I a Slut or do I have a Sex Addiction?"

Sex addiction makes Newsweek

It's the online edition, but that's a start.
