Natasha Helfer Parker interviews Kristin Hodson, LCSW, CST regarding the common use of the term “porn” or “sex” addiction within our Mormon culture. They cover limitations and issues when individuals, spouses, leaders or professionals pathologize unwanted sexual behavior – as well as cover more sex-positive approaches that are more likely to lead to the sexual health all parties are interested in achieving.
