Getting Off: One Woman's Journey Through Sex and Porn Addiction by Erica Garza
dark
fast-paced
3.5
While the details can be a bit hard to stomach for some, this is the kind of transparency and vulnerability I have come to like in memoirs.
Very interesting and well written book detailing a woman's struggle with her body, her self-worth, her addictive patterns and tendencies towards porn, masturbation and sex leading to self-sabotaging behaviors towards herself and also towards seemingly working relationships.
When you hear about sex and pork addition, there is a general assumption that it's a men's problem, so the book does a pretty good job in dispelling the myth that this is a gender specific issue, especially now that excess to such content is widely accessible and freely available to all.
Though the book maybe good in providing "empathy" to someone going through similar stuff, I am not sure if it provides "answers" or "solution", although Garza doesn't claims to be "cured" or anything but just saying...recommend to those who are curious to read about human behaviors and are not bothered by explicit content in memoirs.
