Escape From Intimacy is a book by Anne Wilson Schaef about sexual obsession, which she equates with sexual addiction because:
- Addiction is a more accurate definition of sexual behaviors than are the purely psychological definitions.
- The addiction model offers us the possibility of understanding a range of sexual behaviors that have been subtly integrated into the society as normal yet not clearly discussed and understood
- This approach offers us the opportunity of understanding the societal components of sexual addiction and the "commonness" of sexual addiction
- It offers hope and the possibility of recovery.
- This perspective allows us the possibility of understanding that sexual addicts are human beings who are hurting, who have a progressive, fatal disease that wreak havoc an others and often does.[1]
