Michael Leahy is a spokesman and champion for the over 40 million men and women who are sexual addicts throughout America. Sexual addiction has grown to epidemic proportions since the widespread adoption and use of the Internet. He shares openly and honestly about his personal experiences with Internet porn addiction, the role it played in his lifelong battle with sexual addiction, and the successes and failures on his journey to recovery. His real life stories and deep subject knowledge will keep you captivated. After experiencing freedom from sexual addiction several years ago, Michael is now a passionate crusader who is on a mission to raise the public’s awareness of the larger issue of “Sexual Compulsivity Syndrome”, or SeCS syndrome (aka “sex syndrome”).

Michael gives his audiences a rare and honest look at the hidden life of a sex addict, and shows how the sexual obsessions of the masses are making headlines with their out of control behavior. From porn magazines to CD-ROMs to the Internet, his is a story of a technologically driven downward spiral that ended up costing him his 13-year marriage, his family of two boys, his job and most of his close relationships.

But Michael also talks of finding hope in the midst of despair, and never giving up. It’s a story of finding freedom from a secret addiction that had dominated the past 34 years of his life. Those in the audience who can identify with this struggle are left inspired with hope and given proven solutions for help.

Today, Michael serves as Executive Director of BraveHearts, a non-profit organization he founded. BraveHearts’ mission is to help raise awareness of the hidden dangers and long-term consequences of SeCS Syndrome and addiction.

His message represents a wake-up call for a culture that sits directly in the path of pornography’s “perfect storm” of technology, “shock culture” entertainment, and a reborn sexual liberation movement. The convergence of these factors on unsuspecting people is spawning an epidemic of SeCS Syndrome in America and around the world, and it’s a storm we must start preparing for now!
