Dr. Marty Klein is an American sex therapist, educator and public policy analyst. His goals are to educate the public and policymakers about sexuality, help people feel sexually adequate and powerful, and to support the healthy sexual expression and exploration of both women and men.

Klein is critical of censorship, the concepts of "sex addiction" and "porn addiction," and the anti-pornography movement. He has written five books on sexuality, most recently America’s War on Sex, honored as the year’s Best Sexuality Book by AASECT. It documents how the issue of sexual regulation is being used to undermine secular democracy.

Klein’s work continually challenges American society’s (and psychotherapy’s) assumptions about sexuality; he is particularly critical of what he calls the “Sexual Disaster Industry” and the “Oprah-ization” of psychotherapy and medicine. More recently he has spoken out against the criminalization and cruel punishment of teen “sexting.”

Klein has written over 100 articles for publications such as The Journal of Sex Research, San Francisco Medicine, The Journal of Homosexuality, and Contemporary Sexuality, as well as Parents, Playboy, American Baby, Modern Bride, and New Woman.

Dr. Klein has lectured at over 50 American universities, including Columbia, Stanford, and Syracuse. He has addressed the annual meetings of dozens of national organizations, including:? American Library Association? Family Online Safety Institute? California Association of Marriage & Family Therapists? Planned Parenthood? National Association of Social Workers? American Civil Liberties Union? Society for Sex Therapy and Research? Tech? Milton Erikson Foundation? The Junior League
