(posted 7-12-06) A study is being conducted on the relationship between sexual addictions and the romantic attachment styles of heterosexual men. Attachment styles have to do with how comfortable men are with being close and open in their romantic relationships. Participants will complete a demographic questionnaire, the Sexual Addictions Screening Test (SAST) and the Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised Scale (ECR-R). There are 71 questions in all, which will take about 15 minutes or less to complete. The study is designed to help therapists better understand and help men who struggle with sexual addictions to relate to their girlfriends or wives in healthy ways.

How to contact and attend a 12 step sexual recovery meeting:

Some meetings are open to anyone who wishes to attend, while others are "closed to members only" or are gender specific. It is best to check ahead by calling a local hotline number, this will help determine the best choice of meeting. The hotline numbers will usually confidentially take your name and call you back with meeting information or provide a recorded announcement.
