Movies

Apparently there are two movies out that realistically deal with the topic of sexual addiction:

• Shame

• Thanks for Sharing

Review by Robert Weiss:

A few years ago, the movie Shame hit theaters. A few people saw it, sex addicts and "normies" alike. Most non-sex addicts walked away somewhat shocked and maybe even appalled, not understanding how a smart, attractive, successful man could make such poor behavior choices. Sex addicts, however, mostly nodded their heads and said, "Yeah, that's a pretty realistic portrayal of life as an active sex addict." Now we have a new sex-addiction-themed film, Thanks for Sharing, which looks at the next step in the process -- sexual sobriety and health.

As this work is at the heart of my professional life, the question on my mind as I entered the theater was: Is Thanks for Sharing going to hit the nail on the head, so to speak, in the same way Shame did? Happily, the answer is a relatively solid yes. Certainly I have a few nits to pick, but they're really quite minor, and overall the film shows four very different yet very realistic sex addicts struggling to find their way while dealing with a very serious, little understood, and often harshly judged problem.
