As someone who recently was forced to break up with the love of their life because of sex addiction, I am genuinely getting something valuable out of the Last Resort. I realize it’s trash, it’s completely wild they encourage the cast to drink on a ‘therapy retreat’, the therapists themselves are hacks, and a ton of it is scripted.
However, watching Asuelu’s behavior, which might typically be excused away as normal shitty masculinity, be described as the result of a serious addiction, and seeing someone as beautiful as Yara ask herself the same exact questions I’ve asked myself for 4+ years over & over again, has been both triggering and very helpful for me personally. I’m sending my best hopes that both Yara and Kalani realize their inherent worth and make the best decisions for THEMSELVES at this point. I’m also hoping other people out there watching the show in similar situations realize 1) sex addiction is as real as any other addiction and 2) they deserve happiness and to be in control of their lives.
Guess that’s why they call it the learning channel 🤷🏼♀️
I’m on the same boat as you! It was triggering but also great to see. it’s a very common problem.
Some info and resources, for those who don’t know, sex addiction is also in the same category as lust and porn addiction. They all go hand in hand. Believe it or not.
It’s an addiction to novelty and variety surrounding sexual gratification (visual or physically). Not 1 woman will ever be enough.
Brain scans of lust/sex/porn addicts vs heroin addicts have been done, concluded that they cause similar affects to the brain.
The subreddit loveafterporn is a wonderful place if you need support (for the victims of those partners).
