“The Porn Trap” by Wendy and Larry Maltz is a well written, insightful book that takes a look at pornography addiction for those individuals dealing with the consequences of excessive porn use. Not only does this book offer intelligent information for anyone dealing with compulsive porn use, it also gives hope and guidance to their partner as well. When mired in the throes of habitual porn use, the addict eventually hits “rock bottom”. This book provides the strategies to understand and not pathologize the destructive pattern. The treatment approach discussed in this book offer the reader (both PA and SO) hopeful, clear, and supportive guidance to reestablish their intimacy and pleasure in the relationship.

They have created a healthy outlook for addicts and partners who find themselves lost and suffocating in the wake of porn addiction. Through stories and information, they give us what is necessary to successfully address these issues. They give hope for intimacy in trust filled relationships, and concrete steps to achieve this end. With real life true stories of four individuals, they present an eye opening experience and understanding that the reader can associate with.

This book is broken down in two parts: Becoming Aware, and Healing. In the first part, Becoming Aware, the book focuses on recognizing the damage that is caused by porn addiction. It details the stories of what the addicts and partners were going through during the time of discovery. This is what makes this book essential for both addicts and partners trying to heal together. In the second part of the book, Healing, the book details steps for recovery with the emphasis for planning and communication. It finishes up with talks about healing as a couple with a new approach to healthy intimacy and freedom from porn.
