Welcome to the Men's Sexual Health Resource 

 About Us

For men in Greater Boston to Cape Cod we offer out patient therapy and group therapy with James E. Bailey M.Ed ,whose experience is in the treatment of multiple addictions, with an emphasis on sexual compulsivity. Mr. Bailey has worked with dual diagnosis populations in residential and outpatient settings. Mr Bailey has facilitated support groups for families of addicts and emphasizes the importance of supportive treatment for the entire family unit. Many addicts whether substance or behavioral are in essence self-medicating another mental health issue such as depression. Our diagnostic assessments will discover if your sexually compulsive behavior is in service to your mental health issue-what is traditionally defined as dual diagnosis when it involves substance dependence.  

This site is designed to provide you with information about men’s compulsive sexual behaviors.
One of the major misconceptions that is unfortunately perpetrated by the media and even in some cases  academia, is the idea that sex addicts cannot be treated using conventional therapeutic methods. This misconception begins with terminology like "sex addict","sexual offender" or "pedophile". While it is true that pedophilia is difficult to treat, this is not so of the vast majority of other people who suffer from compulsive sexual behaviors. Because of the "shorthand" approach of the media, they tend to group together all sex addicts as one pathology and the term sex offender gets used regardless of pathology. This is unfortunate in a society that cannot discuss healthy sexuality,let alone compulsive or addictive sexuality. Another area of misconception is whether or not there is a diagnosis for sexual addiction. This is partially because the DSM IV, the diagnostic resource book of the American Psychological Association does not recognize compulsive sexual behavior as a legitimate diagnosis. There is some discussion that it will be included in the next version  (DSM V). Whatever it is called there is tremendous need for treatment resources for men who struggle with problematic sexual behaviors.
