The other day we were supposed to interview a guy who is a recovering sex addict. I met him at the john school where he speaks to the guys about their compulsive addiction and encourages them to get help from Sex Addicts Anonymous. During his presentation he tells them about himself, how he first started going to prostitutes when he was 19 and wasn't caught until he was in his late forties.
The johns really respond well to him and ask all sorts of questions about recovery. Most seem skeptical that there really is help for people like them but they also seem willing to try anything to get out from under the control of their addiction.
On the day we were supposed to interview him he called up and said he got the flu. Too bad! I think his perspective on the demand side of human trafficking and prostitution is invaluable. I'm hoping he recovers enough for us to drive back to San Francisco (we're in Sacramento) this weekend and interview him.
