In this conversation, Dr. Dallas Bragg and Ken Howard discuss the concept of sex addiction and its controversial nature. They explore the lack of objective diagnostic criteria for sex addiction and the subjective nature of its diagnosis. They also discuss the importance of understanding the motives behind sexual behavior and the role of self-medication in hypersexuality. The conversation then shifts to the topic of untangling the association of sex with meth addiction and the process of reclaiming a healthy and rewarding sexuality. They emphasize the importance of patience, communication, and self-acceptance in this journey. Finally, they touch on the issue of body image and the need to embrace oneself and focus on internal resources for empowerment.
