NEW TELECLASS!
INTERNET PORN; Addiction, Recreation or Infidelity?
with Joe Kort and Tammy Nelson
Monogamy, fidelity and exclusivity relate to pornography use in couples and in this class we will look at the pathological perspective of pornography use as it desensitizes and/or traumatizes viewers.
We will also see how porn can re-eroticise relationships when there has been erotic neglect.
Participants will learn the three reasons people go on the Internet to look at porn and will find ways to assess, treat and intervene when porn is a problem.
TELECLASSES ARE ON-THE-PHONE CLASSES - YOU DO NOT NEED TO JOIN LIVE - YOU WILL RECEIVE A RECORDING OF THE CLASS TO LISTEN ON YOUR OWN

A reporter asked me today, "Why do famous mean cheat?"
I thought about it and realized, "Well, for the same reason other men cheat. Because they can."
Most men cheat because of OPPORTUNITY. Men like Tiger Woods who has everything to lose and nothing to gain from having multiple partners, simply has more opportunity than the average guy.
People say, "But he has such a great life!"
Tiger has high visibility, really big sponsors, a beautiful wife and two small children. He has a lot to lose. This danger might actually make the infidelity more exciting.
Also, for men like Tiger Woods who experienced a less than stellar social life in high school, having a multitude of women available to him is a way to finish off a developmental stage that he didnt get to work through in his earlier teenage years.
And its not about how beautiful his wife is, or whats happening in their marriage. No matter who Tiger was married to, it is likely he would have taken advantage of the opportunities he had to sleep with other women.
There are studies that show that 55 to 65% of people who are having affairs say that they are actually happy in their marriages. Affairs do not necessarily indicate difficulty in the marriage or dissatisfaction with their primary partner.
Some celebrities may feel entitled to infidelity. They can develop entitlement complexes, where they feel "I deserve this." They take what they want, compartmentalizing their needs, and they sincerely do not think it will affect the people around them.
Some men develop addictions to the high of cheating; the sneaking around, the rush of the sex itself, the hiding, and the double life. For more on sex addiction, look for my next blog entry. http://www.tammynelson.org/blog/
And for more on monogamy and infidelity, or for internet and porn addiction, go to my teleclass page, and find out from the experts what it means to cheat, and the many ways it happens, and what you can do about it today. http://www.tammynelson.org/teleclasses
