Book Description
December 1, 1990, Jay Parker was arrested for exhibitionism. At the time he hoped it would remain a secret. On January 10, 1991, his whole world came crashing down when a front-page story in the Houston Chronicle revealed his secret to the world.
After fourteen years of tough recovery, fighting his addiction every step of the way, Parker "has it all back." He is making meaningful contributions to society by helping in the recovery of other sex and love addicts. His sex and love addiction, which was the root of his exhibitionism, is under control. This is his story.
From the Publisher
Every week it seems we hear about another teacher, coach, politician, or religious leader who has been charged with inappropriate sexual activities. It is hard to understand how someone who seems to have so much can throw it all away for sex. This book shows the nearly irresistible power of sex and love addiction in graphic and personal detail.
During the fourteen years covered by this book, the Internet has exploded in popularity. Pornography and dating services, legitimate and otherwise, are the second most used services. (Gaming is the most popular.) Parker describes his stumbles with on-line porn and looks at how addiction to pornography is affecting others, costing them time, money, jobs and meaningful relationships.
This book is a compelling read for everyone who wants to understand the consequences of our culture's preoccupation with sex. It will have special meaning for the millions of men and women who are caught up in addictions to sex and love, whether on line or in real life.
