Greetings!
Hello to all new subscribers of the Kort Report. If you have left and returned then welcome back.
I am thrilled to announce that I received the rights back to both of my books, 10 Smart Things Gay Men Can Do To Improve Their Lives and 10 Smart Things Gay Men Can Do To Find Real Love. I am in the process of getting 10 Smart Things Gay Men Can Do To Improve Their Lives republished and revised. I am also revising 10 Smart Things Gay Men Can Do To Find Real Love. I never liked how the second book was edited and felt it was too dense. I want to change the title as well and add some new chapters and remove some current ones. I am open to any suggestions you may have. Please feel free to email me any suggestions of what you would like to see in both books.
Next, The Center for Relationship and Sexual Health is up and running. I purchased the domain www.crsh.com so look for future information about the new website as well the offerings we will be providing. We intend to offer trainings for therapists involving CE's as well as workshops for couples and singles and classes on sexual issues including sexual addiction and sexual health.
This has been a busy past month for me as I have been doing media and internet videos to spread the word about relationship and sexual health. I hope my material continues to be thought provoking and informative.
Have a great summer! |

I was interviewed by the NY Post on Weiner and cybersex.
Behind Cyber-Sex 'Cure' by Annie Karni
Rep. Anthony Weiner joins a long list of celebrities mired in sex scandals who cried "rehab" -- and experts say he needs it, describing his cyber addiction as the "crack cocaine" of the field.
"We call cyber addiction the triple-A engine," said sex-addiction therapist Joe Kort. "It's got affordability, anonymity and accessibility, and the consequences happen faster because these men can do it 24/7."
By seeking in-patient treatment for his obsession, Weiner can now count himself among sex-addicted notables like actors David Duchovny and Russell Brand, former ESPN baseball analyst Steve Phillips, and golfer Tiger Woods.
Weiner's rehab will likely involve three months of abstinence from sex, masturbation and surfing the Web, even for work-related purposes, according to Kort.

Sex On The Download & High Profile Men
Why they do it and think they won't get caught!
By Dr. Joe Kort on yourtango.com
In what's being calling "breaking news" this week, Representative Anthony D. Weiner has confessed to online sexual communications with a woman other than his wife. He is, one of many men in the public eye whom have been caught sending provocative pictures, texts, webcams and video engaging in what I call sex on the download otherwise known as online sexual behaviors.
The frequency of such events raises the question of what is the appeal of sex on the download when you are a high profile person?
Of course the answer is different for everyone, but there are some common factors at play here for most men.

Ask the Expert
Hear Joe's responses to the following online questions where he write for 365gay.com, Malesurvivor.org and Attitude Magazine
365gay.com Ask the Expert: 'We're no longer having sex - should I stay?'
Question: My partner and I have been together for 6 years. In the beginning, the sex was passionate and varied. Now, for us to have sex we have to do the same position every time. We never do a position I enjoy. Sex is with a lot of force, takes a long time to get him excited and I have to wear clothes I don't like. I have to give oral for a long time, and he closes his eyes a lot. If I don't do all these things, he cannot come.
I'm left feeling like a failure every time.
Now, a friend that I have known longer than my partner has always told me he "likes me." We just had sex and it was great! Very satisfying. He wants to get to know me more, but I worry about making my partner mad.
Sadly, I don't feel guilty about having long overdue sex with my friend (it is like once every 4 months with my partner). The friend wants me to leave my partner so we can pursue a relationship.
Also, my partner has a habit of skipping out for two weeks or so when we fight..and I never hear from him during that time.
These two things really bother me. Please help me..I can't make sense of this, I have told my partner over and over about these concerns. Nothing changes.

MaleSurvivor.org: Gay or imprinted?
Question: I just came out to my wife, I know in my soul I am gay, but there is so much stuff about it being an imprint. I can't seem to make her understand that I am defaulted that way. I know it now. I have kissed a man, and it felt the way it should. She feels if I worked hard enough I could overcome it. It is a mountain I cannot see getting over. Moreover I want to be with a man, I am attracted to men, not women. Her therapist just thinks I am a fool to give up a solid family life with kids for a sexual fantasy. I think it's who I am!
