Dr. Drew Gets a New Show

Dr. Drew Pinsky has signed on to do another rehab show for VH1. But this time its not about drug and alcohol abuse. This time he’ll be starring in “Sex Rehab With Dr. Drew”.

VH1 released a statement about their new project:

“In this eight-episode one-hour series, Dr. Drew is turning his attention and cameras on a very widespread but rarely talked about addiction. Sexual compulsion afflicts roughly 6% of the American population and carries the same devastating consequences as any other addiction. For addicts, sex isn’t even pleasurable, but rather a way to escape the pain of past loss, childhood trauma, abuse and abandonment. Like many other addictions, their habits can cost them their jobs, their marriages, even their lives. Despite all this, the affliction is often dismissed because it's not understood how something as natural and beautiful as sex can be an addiction.” Source

Muy interesante. I’m sure I’ll be watching.
