We Are Failing Male Sexual Abuse Survivors
I specialize in working with sexual addiction and problematic sexual behavior. Most of my clients are men. Working with male addicts for over a dozen years has taught me, in person, that many more boys are sexually abused than the numbers tell us. These boys do not tell anyone and do not seek help.

More Evidence That Filtering Doesn’t Work: Teach Resilience Too
Earlier this month a study was published in the Journal of Pediatrics that looked at internet filtering and the adverse experiences of adolescents online.

What I didn’t know is that Starbucks also has committed […]

On Tuesday another one of my clients was sentenced in Federal Court on Possession of Child Pornography charges. That evening, the group talked about how to prevent people from possessing child pornography. A Federal judge is mandated to look at four factors (according to US Code 3553) when imposing a sentence upon a defendant. Any […]
Parental Denial: Yes, Your Child Has Seen Pornography
Absolute Denial: “No not my child! My son doesn’t look at porn online.” “My daughter would never send a naked picture of herself.” Very recently a young teenage girl was lured into a meeting with a college man on the messaging app Kik and she was killed. This tragic event has spurned a barrage of […]
Book Review: Good Pictures, Bad Pictures: Porn Proofing Today’s Young Kids

The organization Porn Proof Kids (www.pornproofkids.org) sought to remedy this by publishing the illustrated book Good Pictures, Bad Pictures: Porn Proofing Today’s Young Kids. The target age of the […]
