Sex Addicts Anonymous

Marlene (Reagan Foxx), Laura (Jaye Summers), and Bianca (Jane Wilde) all sit in a circle. They eye each other warily before shifting their gaze to Robert (Seth Gamble), a charming, handsome and sympathetic-looking man. ‘As you know, my name is Robert… and I’m an addict,’ Robert says. But like all of them, it’s not heroin or booze that’s his addiction and affliction –he’s a sex addict. Laura (Jaye Summers) sits in silence but it becomes clear that she’s not just watching the party, but staring at one guy in particular – Vince (Zac Wild) – as he laughs and jokes along with a pretty girl across the room. She looks on with a bit of envy, clearly wishing she could take the place of the girl he’s talking to. Teen Bianca (Jane Wilde) is giggling wildly and gasping at the outrageous things her boyfriend is saying on the other end of the line, which seem like provocative sexual advances. Bianca clearly loves the chase and is playing hard to get, telling him playfully to stop, he’s so bad, she isn’t even at her own house! Marlene (Reagan Foxx), is fussing when her boyfriend, Tom (Brad Newman), comes up behind her and puts his hands comfortingly on her shoulders. Just relax, he tells her, she just needs to breathe and not stress out so much. She tells him she can’t help but be worried – this is her one chance to reconnect with Alyssa (Alina Lopez), and she doesn’t want to screw it up.
