Is sex addiction even real?

In this bold and much-needed episode, I’m joined by Dr. Sue Milstein and her co-host Charlie for a raw conversation that takes on the myths and misinformation around hypersexuality and so-called “sex addiction.”

We talk about:
 – Why “sex addiction” isn’t actually a clinical diagnosis
 – How pathologizing pleasure fuels shame and repression
 – The difference between compulsive behavior and healthy desire
 – What queer folks, women, and survivors need to know about how this label has been weaponized
 – And how we can stop framing desire as a disease

Whether you’ve been told you’re “too much,” “out of control,” or “addicted” to sex—or just want to understand how shame shapes our sexual culture—this one’s for you.

Pleasure isn’t the problem. The story we’ve been told about it is.
