If I may intervene with a comment, I think that having a mixed group of sex addicts getting together to speak about their struggles is far from the realm of tznius. One thing is in a forum, which is completely non personal. But I think that meeting each-other in person might be counterproductive to what we are all trying to do. If any of the women are interested, they might consider starting their own meetings.

Just a thought...

He may even monitor meetings for you. He is a 12 steps expert. Call him. He is a very nice guy and has helped me in the past. He is GYE Israel's hotline man. Here is the info from this post.

The author of the book "The first day of the rest of my life" just opened a sexual addiction center in Israel.

Hatzlacha to you guys. I think this is step in the right direction. I think especially the younger ones here will benefit greatly. Break that isolation and break the addiction.

I think that having a mixed group of sex addicts getting together to speak about their struggles is far from the realm of tznius. One thing is in a forum, which is completely non personal. But I think that meeting each-other in person might be counterproductive to what we are all trying to do.

I have to say that I agree with this especially after we have built some kind of friendship here on GYE.

Also, without a proper moderator, the meetings can be frustrating as they may lack direction. It is all fun and cool to meet those people who you converse with on virtual terms, but when it comes down to doing something tachlis with these meetings it may be difficult without an experienced person.
