Cruise Control Understanding Sex Addiction in Gay Men eBook Robert Weiss
This compassionate look at sex addiction details the substratum of the behavior. Like many addictions, it is the solution to a deeper problem before it becomes the problem. The addiction gives a center to a life, it covers the needs that the addict has not been able to meet.The suggestions on how to deal with addiction are simple and difficult because they require the creativity to accomplish in another fashion fulfilling needs (intimacy, purpose, pleasure, self-esteem, attention, personal power_ that the addiction met.
The author is non-judgmental; he is highly articulate about a difficult subject and has the compassion needed to help addicts claim a richer life. I am a coach and clients insisted that I read it. I'm glad I did.

Cruise Control Understanding Sex Addiction in Gay Men eBook Robert Weiss Reviews
Lots of valuable information and guide for understanding being gay and the cultural influences as well as how to approach them in a healthy and conscious way.
An useful book that added insight in a thorough exploration of the facets of sex addiction in the gay community
The language was clear & simple not burdened with cross references & clinical jargon to present it's case!
After reading this, I know that sex addiction was not my issue. Love addiction was.
I highly recommend this book to any gay man struggling with sex addiction. Robert Weiss takes directly from Patrick Carnes's playbook in terms of his approach to the addiction, but adds such relevant information for a gay man. After reading this book, I wanted to buy copies for all of my friends. Besides addressing sex addiction, the book could also be great in helping gay men understand better their sexuality and sex.
This is probably the most sincere, scientific, experimental and holistic guide to all those affected by the Sex Addiction and Love addiction.
It begins with a test to decide if you are "in" this circle or "out", it describes the problem with solid examples and it explains the reason to fall into this addiction without falling in mannierisms nor moralisms... It really helps you to understand your reactions and has some sort of practical agenda to write your experiencies and set your goals for recovery.
To sum up, after "out of the Shadows", which I had the opportunity to read at a friend' s house in Paris, and in which it is inspired, "Cruise Control" is THE BOOK gay men expected to have in their area, and so their partners or family affected by their behaviour.
Probably, the most worked out issue is to separate the weak boundarie often mixed up between the gay feedom for sex and the obsesion for having it at any time, and at any price.
I related most to the chapter on Love Addiction, but there's a lot of carryover and similarities to sex addiction. Very non-judgemental, and a great read!
I am unsure if I believe in the idea of a "sex addiction"; and, in fact, when Tiger Woods first brought it to national attention I definitely thought it was a ridiculous excuse for his indiscretions. After reading this book I started to understand the underlying issues and have been able to look beyond the term "sex addiction" to see the root cause of using sex as a coping mechanism. I think the book is very insightful, draws on excellent case studies, and provides good resources for people who need it.
