Sides and Mixed Orientation Marriages With Dr. Joe Kort

Sarah speaks with psychotherapist Dr. Joe Kort, PhD, LMSW about his 40-years long work with individuals and couples trying to strengthen their relationships. Dr Kort specializes in marital problems and conflict, mixed orientation marriages, male sexuality, and out of control sexual behavior to name just a few of his areas of expertise. In 2013, Dr Kort coined the term 'sides', finally terming an identity that many share but few named. Sides typically describes gay men who do not engage in anal sex, instead preferring other forms of outercourse. We discuss mixed orientation relationships, clinical considerations when working with certain populations, as well as the problem with 'sex addiction.' Prefer to read instead of listen?
