In our society, sex can easily become the price many women pay for love and the illusion of security. A woman who seeks a sense of personal power and an escape from pain may use sex and romance as a way to feel in control, just as an alcoholic uses alcohol; but sex never satisfies her longing for love and self-worth. In this wise and compassionate book, Charlotte Kasl shows women how they can learn to experience their sexuality as a source for love and positive power and sex as an expression that honors the soul as well as the body.

Title: Pheomenal!
Review: As an addictions counselor who specializes in women's issues, I have found this book amazingly insightful into the addictive and co-addictive experience of women. Everyone I know who has read this book considers it no less than pheomenal (and often times a life-saver). It should be required reading for any woman in recovery. Even those who initially identify themselves as "only" abusing alcohol/drugs/food have found their core issues reflected in this book. Substance abuse is simply a more socially acceptable mask to hide issues of unhealthy sexuality. People don't ususally talk about these core issues, even with a counselor. Sometimes you have to read this kind of information privately first and assimilate it at your own pace before you are ready to discuss it with another human being. This is a great book to read to get that work started.

Title: Nothing short of amazing
Review: I thought this book would be good, if maybe a bit outdated, but I was floored by how amazing it turned out to be. I'm also shocked to find that this book is as relevant today as ever and does not suffer even though it was published over 20 years ago. I have read other things on the subjects of codependency and sexual addiction but this approach is really revolutionary and so very accurate. It makes connections between some seemingly conflicting parts of codependency and addictive sexual behavior as well as other aspects of life, behavior, and thinking. I am eternally grateful for having discovered this awesome book. This information has given me amazing new insight, renewed hope, and is without a doubt life changing.

Title: One of the best books
Review: On the subject. If you suffer from or know someone who suffers from sex addiction, this is an excellent exploration of why and how to deal with it. It is not judgmental or religiously oriented and it is written by a woman for women. A man would find it very informative if you know a woman who is dealing with this and you are interested in helping her.

Title: Working through it with my therapist! Good book.
Review: I have not finished the book yet but am working through it with my therapist. Many women suffer from low self worth and low self-esteem, therefore cover the problem with addiction and/or sex. From what I've read so far it seems to help with my self-esteem issues and my alcohol abuse. I cannot find the right man, This gives me hope that I someday will pick someone worth keeping!

Title: This book has changed by life
Review: I was trying to work an SLAA program and start a few meetings in a small town in Arizona. This book was originally written to be an accessory to the SLAA main text, since the main text is geared towards men and can oftentimes be misleading or confusing. Because of the wisdom and experience that Kasl has, and the way she explains it, I started an SLAA book study which focused on this book 3 meetings of the month, then we'd read the main text on the fourth meeting of the month. I cannot recommend this enough to any women struggling with SLAA issues, and highly highly suggest you start a meeting based on it.

Review: i am so into how kasl illustrates recovery. i use this as a reference guide, its flexible and you can get some identification, read case stories which help you to relate then there are simple ways of dealing with your wayward emotional states, methods of changing your behaviour and a brilliant read as a whole. i would rate it 10/10 i have always been a pia mellody fan now i am both.
