Episode #23 (S02E01) - The Myth of Sex Addiction

Guest: Dr. David Ley
Released January 19, 2025

Grappling with the big questions like:

  • Is being an army brat as effective as witness protection?
  • If you're late for work because you are enjoying porn, do you need a 12 step program or a different job?
  • And Dr David Ley on the myth of sex addiction.

Segment 1: Paul returns with questions about sex addiction, plus a very niche pet peeve about "addicted" masturbators.
Segment 2: Introduction to Dr. David Ley, clinical psychologist and author, known for his critical stance regarding sex addiction. His first book, Insatiable Wives, won a Silver Medal in the Foreword Magazine Book of the Year in 2009. A Publishers Weekly review said that his book The Myth of Sex Addiction "makes a thoughtful and persuasive argument, using case studies and ample references to the work of other psychologists to flesh out his case. While serving as an excellent resource on sex addiction, Ley's study also sheds light on the myriad cultural and sociological factors that influence relationships." [Wikipedia]

Here's the complete transcript of this teaser:

Hey! It's been a minute! I'm reaching out to ask for your input for an upcoming episode of The Heart of Jacks Podcast.

I'm currently editing a multi-episode piece on “sex positivity” that started over a year ago and was put on a shelf (with the rest of the pod) when my club restarted operations and I got a new job and my music group began live performances again. Those three big things interrupted the HOJ project in a big way… which… you might have noticed.

AAAAAnyway, I'm now circling back to The Heart of Jacks and this particular episode and it would benefit from a few more voices and that’s where your input comes in.

Here’s what I’d like you to do, if you’re up for it. I’m going to give you a conversation starter—a few short questions and I’d like you to call The Heart of Jacks phone line and simply respond with your thoughts in a voicemail. You don’t have to answer every question like it’s a quiz. Just listen, mull it over a little and call with your response. If you write it out before you call, that’s fine but absolutely not required. I’d like your feedback to sound spontaneous, honest, just your take on the subject, and it can be just one or two sentences.

If you were one of the fine folks who contributed to this in the past, you don't need to do it again.

Now, please don't worry about being perfect. Just consider the questions for a few seconds or a few minutes and then send me your response. Here goes!

Are you familiar with the term, “sex positive?” Does it mean anything to you? Have you never encountered it or is it a term you or somebody you know uses? Do you have any particular thoughts about what “sex positive” is or isn’t? Is it just jargon or a trend or is it an important idea? How about this: do you have any… feelings or judgements about somebody who casually uses the term, “sex positive?” What does it bring up for you?

Again, consider all of that as a conversation starter, not the fucking SAT or a job application. Nothing is on the line here and your input is anonymous. I’m going to edit responses to be pretty short, so don’t think about it too much and don’t worry about being perfect. I just want your honest take. Simply consider the subject and send me your thoughts.

When you’re ready, call The Heart of Jacks phone line at (206) 580-3120. You can also record a voice memo with your smart phone and email that to paul@theheartofjacks.com - And if you really want to contribute but you’re just super shy about using your voice, you can email me your response too. It’s just more likely that I’ll actually use it if you call in and leave voicemail or send me a voice memo.

If you mess something up, just repeat it. I’ll make you sound good. I really just want to know what YOU think about this thing called “sex positivity.”

Thank you so much for helping me out with this and for listening to The Heart of Jacks Podcast. I can’t wait to serve up all the good stuff that’s been cooking over the past year… or so.

I’m Paul Rosenberg.

Sorting out the sorting out
Appearances can be deceiving
and James goes to the Jacks

Segment 1: Age is an issue in many places and in some ways, it’s less of an issue in jack-off clubs than in many other places, but it still presents challenges for the members and managers of the Jacks everywhere. Paul has some thoughts.

Segment 2: James was 24 when he first attended Rain City Jacks. It was also only his second experience having sex with men and remarkably, that was the night he met his current boyfriend, some 5 years ago. At 29, both he and his boyfriend still attend Jacks events regularly. His experience isn’t wildly different from other Jacks members, but it is uniquely his and we get into it together.

It may sound strange, but the extension of our cultural reticence with regard to masturbation can leave people in a "denial/release" cycle of cutting out self-pleasure followed by periods of sacrificing everything else. Paul is looking for guest suggestions to chew on this topic of making healthy self-pleasuring a balanced part of our adult lives.

 

Segment 2: Rick Laska is a clinical social worker and certified sex therapist in the Twin Cities Metro Area in Minnesota. He has been involved in the field of sexual health and wellness for over 2 decades. He is passionate about pleasure, intimacy, and connection as well as overcoming the oppressive forces trying to stifle those things. Paul and Rick talk about his path to social work and sex therapy, and dive into the fundamentals of sexual mindfulness and tantra.

And dipping into true stories and sex clubs with David Quantic

Originally from Kansas, David Quantic has lived in Texas, New York and in 1999 he moved to L.A. to attend UCLA’s MFA Film Production/Directing program, graduating in 2004. He worked freelance in the L.A. film industry in production and post-production until 2016 when he moved to Seattle to work for the Queer Film Festival. He has been producing the Fruitbowl documentary and podcast series since 2018. Fruitbowl is an oral history of queer sex. Each episode of the podcast features one person describing their coming of age and how they discovered their sexual preferences.

In this interview, we talk about Fruitbowl Podcast; its accidental genesis and its uniquely real and human take on queer sex. We also talk about Rain City Jacks (where we met), me being on his podcast and about the differences between jack-off clubs and (other) sex clubs.

Episode #12 - Talking Shame with Dr. Eric Sprankle

Guest: Dr. Eric Sprankle

Released March 1, 2021

 

Sponsored by Woodhull Freedom Foundation at https://woodhullfoundation.org

Important lessons for a nine-year-old snoop

Missing lessons in mid-century school

And talking shame with Dr. Eric Sprankle

 

Segment 1: Paul talks about how he learned about sex before most of his friends did (hint: It wasn’t from his parents or school) and about the ways that queer kids learn nothing at all about sex or relationships and are still left to kludge their lives together without guidance, a monologue inspired by his conversation with today’s guest.

Segment 2: Dr. Eric Sprankle is an Associate Professor of Clinical Psychology and Co-Director of the Sexuality Studies program at Minnesota State University, Mankato, as well as a licensed clinical psychologist and an AASECT-certified sex therapist affiliated with the Minnesota Sexual Health Institute. He joins Paul to talk about shame and sexual shame.

Questions that we chewed on:

  • What is shame?
  • Is sexual shame unique from other kinds of shame?
  • Where does sexual shame and overall sex negativity come from?
  • Is shame ever a good thing?
  • What’s a good alternative focus?
  • What's behind the cultural pressure to feel shame?
  • Is the rise of secularism alone a solution to sexual shame?

Before the bupivacaine wears off and the first dose of painkillers kick in, just after that first post-op cup of coffee, there’s a sweet window of opportunity to knock out a quick non-episode so your ears aren’t lonely on Solstice morning.

Rather than post an oh-so-close-but-as-yet-unfinished episode of the podcast, I made this End of 2020 support pitch on the fly, a standalone semi-show to remind you that I love you, that I’m really doing just fine (even if I did just have my third orthopedic surgery of the year just this morning) and to highlight three important things I need for the health of this podcast:

  1. You really should listen to the episodes you missed.
  2. I need more Patreon patrons and there’s a sneaky way to make just one payment.
  3. I urgently need more ratings and reviews on Apple Podcasts.

If you’re enjoying the show but not yet a patron, please consider supporting the project by going to patreon.com/theheartofjacks and contributing what you can either monthly or annually. New subscribers get two free months with an *annual* subscription through February 2021.

Really, the best thing you can do for any podcaster is to help increase their visibility on Apple Podcasts! Please take a minute to find The Heart of Jacks Podcast on Apple Podcasts, rate and review the show. In fact, consider doing that for every podcast you love. If you can’t contribute your hard-earned cash to the cause, you can help other listeners hear the shows you love and that is the Holy Grail for every podcaster.

Episode #8 - Tyler the Bad Wolf

Guest: Tyler Darlig Ulv

Released December 14, 2020

 

Looking for sponsors in all the right places

Asking an expert about straight Jacks

And talking sex work and the awesomeness of masturbation with Tyler The Bad Wolf

 

Supported by Patreon

 

Segment 1a: Hey sponsors! I’m looking to sell some ad space on the show. If you have a product or service you'd like my listeners to know about, shoot me an email at sponsor@theheartofjacks.com or call 206-580-3120.

 

Segment 1b: Michael, a listener in San Francisco wants to know how I know who the straight members of the Jacks are. I give him my take on it and reason for approaching member sexual orientation the way I do, and then I call in a lifeline in the form of Dr. David Ley, clinical psychologist and sex therapist (you may have seen him on TV or heard him on radio or other podcasts before) and Dr. Ley shares his take… "It's complicated."

 

Segment 2: Tyler The Bad Wolf. Guest, Tyler Darlig Ulv's last name literally translates from the Norwegian as "bad wolf." Tyler is a professional sex worker living in Berlin, a writer, designer and blogger and an ex-New Yorker who I met at NY Jacks. He made an impression and we became friends. I'm thrilled to share our conversation with you. We talk about sex work, NY Jacks, the awesomeness of masturbation and Kylie Minogue!

Segment 1: Paul recounts his visit to the friendliest jack-off club of them all, AOK Jacks, situated deep in the Bible Belt at the crux of Arkansas and Oklahoma, where he was introduced to "The Jacks Handshake." Paul then gets just a little cranky as he comes to accept that not everyone does consent the way he does and wonders what consent is all about.

 

Segments 2, 3 & 4: Consent Academy: Interview with Sar Surmick

Sar Surmick brought the Consent Academy together in 2016 as a way to advance consent education in Seattle and across the world. With over 20 years of education experience and a strong belief that consent creates a backbone for safe and productive interactions, Sar has worked with a variety of organizations to promote and educate about consent. As a pan-sexual, genderqueer, & polyamorous kinkster, Sar has had decades of experience both in and working with sex-positive communities. When not directing the Academy, Sar works as a Marriage & Family Therapist specializing in Identity, a Sex-positive Educator, and a writer.

As a pan-sexual, genderqueer, & polyamorous kinkster, Sar has had decades of experience both in and working with sex-positive communities. When not directing the Academy, Sar works as a Marriage & Family Therapist specializing in Identity, a Sex-positive Educator, and a writer. This is one of my favorite conversations yet. Sar is experienced, knowledgable and engaging with a comprehensive, clear-eyed vision of consent that goes way beyond sex, really to every corner of our existence and, hopefully, co-existence with each other but also every organism on Earth and the planet itself. I found it fascinating and uplifting and I suspect you will too.

Pete is an artist, designer and producer living in the Seattle area. Originally from the Northeast, he now calls the Pacific Northwest home. When not working on visual art installations, theatrical costume, scenic designs, or film productions, you can find him expressing himself in his “Body of Work” series on Instagram, in which Pete depicts the everyday, mundane tasks of life through fast-motion video and plenty of exposed skin. He is a Sagittarius, nature enthusiast, plant daddy, avid sunbather, foodie and adventurer who will try pretty much anything, at least once.

Paul and Pete talk about the unique appeal of diversity and the erotic charge inherent in limitations.

Speaker, author, and educator, Jallen Rix holds a Doctorate of Education in Sexology. He has taught at the University of Nevada, Reno and the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco. He also has a private practice in Palm Springs California, which includes personal consulting, body work, sacred intimacy, and surrogate-style partner experiences. He is a leading expert on the damaging effects of, and recovery from, ex-gay ministries and so-call "reparative therapy." His book, Ex-Gay No Way, was nominated as best non-fiction book of 2010 by the Lambda Literary Foundation. He has been featured on Our America with Lisa Ling on the OWN Channel, and ABC’s News Magazine 20/20. His documentary, Lewd & Lascivious premiered at Frameline to sold-out crowds and won the 2014 AV Award from the American Association of Sexuality Educators Counselors and Therapists (AASECT). IN 2015 Jallen premiered his first solo stage production, Stake in the Ground: Celebrating the Intersection of Self-Pleasuring and Self-compassion.

After a not-so-brief introduction to me (your host Paul Rosenberg), I have my first conversation with Allena Gabosch, Bi, poly, kinky switch. One of the founders of both the Center and Foundation for Sex Positive Culture and the Seattle Erotic Art Festival. She’s been teaching about poly and kink since 1993 at universities, colleges and the various sex positive communities as well as being a relationship and sex coach for the last decade.
