The problem with writing this book is simple: I can’t tailor the message to my audience. I can’t censor my thoughts as I talk about discipleship or hold anything back as I share my experiences as a graduate student in a human sexuality research laboratory.
I’m just a little-known name on a research paper. No one knows my secret: I’m also a Mormon, or as I prefer to be identified, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Somehow, I found a way to simultaneously offend the “sex addiction” treatment community as well as members of my own faith who believe in “sex addiction.”
As a clinician, I work with many individuals who feel like they can’t fully express themselves within their own religious communities. There is a high level of fear about being ostracized if others truly know the doubts they hold or the beliefs they have. I share this fear. This is one of the primary motivating factors behind the undertaking of Confessions of a Latter-day Saint Sex Researcher. I believe that times are changing. Individuals are more willing to express themselves openly. It’s exciting to witness how often people who take these risks are embraced by others who hold similar views, whose fear has also made them reluctant to speak.
This book explores the frenzy surrounding pornography, advancements in treatment, and the integration of science, religion and sexuality. Confessions also explores the impact of culture, beliefs, and church policy on sexuality, the realities of being a mental health provider and a disciple of Jesus Christ, and my hope in fostering connection, healing wounds, and giving voice to marginalized individuals."
**
Finally! A candid book about sex that challenges the “porn addiction” model and the fear-based hysteria that has gathered so much momentum in the past few decades. With a unique blend of personal experience and professional insights, Dr. Staley sensitively challenges the status quo and gently suggests a healthier, respectful way of thinking about sex and sexuality. A must-read for all Latter-day Saint families and Church leaders seeking more insight and compassion around complexities of human sexuality.
—Dr. Julie Hanks, therapist and author of The Assertiveness Guide for Women
Yay! for a book that gives the word “sex” the place of honor it deserves in a society that claims we are that we might have joy but often dispenses fear and confusion. Confessions is both light-hearted and seriously helpful, a great gift to families and individuals needing a friendly scientific and spiritually-attuned guide to walk with them on this awesome and challenging territory.
—Carol Lynn Pearson, author of The Love Map
Dr. Cameron Staley brings fresh perspectives and unique insights on sensitive subjects in the Latter-day Saint community. Subjects we need to discuss in our congregations and families so we can better understand and support each other. This is a book I wish I’d read decades ago before becoming a husband, father, and having church assignments. Dr. Staley’s work—because of his education, clinical experience, and understanding of gospel principles—brings better pastoral insights to help others. This book is a must read for every Latter-day Saint.
—Richard Ostler, host of the Listen, Learn and Love podcast"
