Just AskING
Why do we have such a difficult time managing our sexuality? We talk about managing our money, our careers, our diets, yet we don't talk about managing our sexuality. And we certainly don't talk about doing it intelligently. Join Steven Ing, MFT, and Jackie as they discuss all things sexual, and how learning to manage your sexuality can lead to a more fulfilling life.

Sex Addiction and Gay Conversion: The Ugly Truth
What do sex addiction and gay conversion therapy have in common? Neither one of them is an accepted term used by mental health professionals. While “sex addiction” is sometimes used as an excuse for unacceptable behavior (think Harvey Weinstein), conversion therapy is downright dangerous and should never be used.
For over 30 years, Steven Ing, MFT, has been a Marriage and Family Therapist with a specialty in forensic work. He is a contributing writer to Psychology Today and the author of two books on sexuality: We're All Like This and Get Busy Living. He is the creator and host of the true crime podcast Sex Crime Central and co-host on the podcast Managing Love Intelligently. In 2022, he was the victim of an attempted murder and survived multiple stabbings. And good thing: in 2023 his feminist science fiction novel Polliwog was published and he was appointed a community faculty member for the UNR School of Medicine. He lives in Reno, Nevada, with his wife, Sharon, on the edge of the Toiyabe National Forest.
