Addiction to attention which turns into promiscuous sex
June 19, 2008
On June 11, 2008, Deborah Harper, President of Psychjourney interviewed Kerry Cohen, the author of Loose Girl: A Memoir of Promiscuity about her book, her life, and her work as a psychotherapist.
Ms. Cohen talks about her addiction to attention which she obtained by projecting herself as a sex object for numerous boys. As Ms. Cohen says it wasn't about the sex as much as the hope in getting their attention that they would make her whole.
This interview lasts about 30 minutes and is well worth listening to by any psychotherapist working with young women, and/or parents of young women, or young women themselves who crave attention and use their sex appeal to obtain that attention.
I am reminded of a client of mine, a 17 year old young woman,who told me "I'd rather be used than be alone."
I recommend this interview. You can go to the psychjourney web site by clicking on the link below.

I read some article but addiction to sex. Though I heard from some doctors sex is a good exercise for couples but over doing it can cause to unhealthy lifestyle.
