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 so glad someone brought this up. I was married to and had kids with a sex addict. Even after getting shaken down for money by a porn company who threatened to involve my then-husband in a John Doe lawsuit after he illegally downloaded porn, he was right back looking at it the next day. I hate to hear about other people who have had to live with this. Divorcing my ex was the best decision I ever made. I had no will to live at the end of that marriage. I am happily remarried to a wonderful man. I hope Yara and Kalani both find happiness.
