SEX & SURRENDER follows the journey of A.D. Burks, a recovering sex addict. Raised predominantly in a single-parent religious-based home, A.D. was given every opportunity to succeed in life, and he did. He flourished in the education, entertainment and corporate arenas, and his life looked picture perfect from the outside. Yet deep down his personal life was tormenting him due to the conflict between his spiritual and sexual beliefs. Longing for the perfect/traditional family he never had with his female best-friend, he redirected his pain through countless forms of risky sexual behavior.
Sex & Surrender graphically recounts the addictive cycle which lasted nearly 12 years and almost ended his life—until he had a dream that helped him realize he had to find a way out. Therapy and spiritual counseling provided a temporary respite and helped him devise a four-step process to manage his addiction. Yet his true breakthrough didn't come until the root of his pain was uncovered.

Sex Surrender An Addict Journey eBook AD Burks Reviews
Wow!!! A.D. is a great author and the book was absolutely wonderful. Once you begin to read the book, it is very hard to stop. The book hives some many valuable life lessons about sex, love and relationships. Keep writing and I will continue to read and support. KeKe Hunt
I think it is graphic and honest, and will help anyone that is open and honest with themselves. It might help some who don't think they have a problem to understand that they do. It takes so much courage to be transparent and open, in hopes that it helps others. An excellent read that will make you think twice about your judgement of others and what true love really looks like.
Sex & Surrender is a revealing & emotional read. The authors opens up about his life and his struggles with finding his true sexuality. AD Burks shows us all how he dealt with Sexual Addiction by confronting it and being honest with himself. He holds nothing back in revealing his truth. Great job AD Burks

Before I go any further with this book review, I must state that I am not gay or bisexual. So, one might ask, "as a straight man, what gives you the right to review a book about a bisexual man’s sexual addiction?”
I’ll tell you. Plain and simple, I understand sex. And more importantly, I feel love. And first and foremost, Burks' book is all about love. I cannot understand the sexual attraction one man can have for another. But, I do understand the love any human being can feel for another human being. We all want that heart filling soul-mate that gives us deeper introspection into ourselves. We long for someone who makes us feel complete, creating an eagerness to please and sacrifice unconditionally like sharing the television remote control and/or giving up the last piece of pizza, that slice we really want. I’m talking about the perfect triangular piece of pizza, grease seeping through the cardboard box, the cheese congealing just so. That first bite will be a sensual romp for the taste buds, and still, we give it to our loved one. Are we crazy? Probably. But, this is love. Is there truly any person out there that doesn’t want to love someone and be loved just as strongly in return? Except for rare exceptions, like the temporarily jaded or a card carrying ascetic, I don’t think so. Not to sound preachy or new agey, but before we can experience and especially maintain that kind of love, we must be comfortable in our own skins and love who we are. This is rare.
At first A.D. Burks is near obsessive trying to find that kind of love. He betters himself through education and climbs the ladder in lucrative white collar professions, while pursuing his passion in music. Good looking, fit, stylish, intelligent, talented and personable; on the surface he appears to have it all together. As a man of discipline and focus, he sets goals and time limits for himself. One of these unrealistic and immature time limited goals is to meet and fall in love with the perfect woman. The ideal woman must meet inflexible parameters that he sets for himself and his partner. And if he doesn't find the "perfect woman," his default plan is to marry and have children with his childhood female best friend. Seeking a spiritual love was always Burks' main quest. He writes, "The Holy Grail was to engage in sex as a spiritual act...What I wanted was a spiritual/sexual connection with an exceptional woman, one who would become the mother of my children."
His father's sexual addiction and philandering, catalysts to Burks' own sexual addiction, give him archaic misconceptions about 'a proper relationship' with women. He tends to put the women that he wants a "real" relationship with on a pedestal, forgetting that women are human too, with needs, wants and their own goals and dreams. His fallacious beliefs about love and sex set him up for failure with all his 'romantic' partners ( Male and Female). He recognizes this fault in himself periodically throughout the book's narrative and touches on it often, milliseconds away from an epiphany. But, the truth behind his addictions and unhappiness isn't revealed to him until he admits to his problems and accepts real help. He writes, "When it comes to sex, for me there has always been a neat dichotomy between men and women. Women are sexy, but ultimately I tend to see them as potential wives and moms-to-be. Men are who I turn to when I want great sex fast. I've had great loves with women and men, but I have a very deeply ingrained rule never have sex with a woman you don't love. This rule evolved because of the relationship I had with my mom. While I could have random sex with a guy and not give it a second thought, I never wanted to hurt a woman emotionally like my dad hurt my mom."
Sex and Surrender is more than just a self-help book for sexual addicts. Burks describes his sexual adventures like an erotic novel, wherein he is an expert cocksman, moving from sexual conquest to sexual conquest. He provides great insight into the LGBT world. Sex and Surrender goes beyond the veneer of the LGBT scene, to the ache and angst of loss and unrequited love. It delves deep to the heart and speaks directly to the soul. Even though the book sometimes reads like an erotic novel, the explicitness of Burks' sexcapades does not remove the inherent spiritualism and love in the text. The eroticism of Sex and Surrender reflects the current flavor of populism. A quality that is inviting to many readers, including those who are not sexual addicts or bisexual. These readers are the arbiters and progenitors of today's literature. Like fashion and music, literature is fickle and moves in circles. Erotic literature is in vogue again.
Prime example, the exuberant popularity of E.L. James’ Fifty Shades of Grey and its many imitators. Granted, they are transparent stories built around blatant erotic and sadomasochistic motifs. But, they're also centered around love, albeit dysfunctional love.
Sex and Surrender has come along at a perfect time. The idea of sexual addiction is more socially and culturally acceptable as a disease, especially in regards to celebrities, like Tiger Woods. The pop-culture of sex goes back further than Burks; further than Erica Jong, Henry Miller and Anis Nin. It goes back further than the famous erotic lithographs found in Pompeii and even further than the Kama-Sutra. Contrary to popular belief, sexuality in America's culture did not begin with Margaret Sanger, Alfred Kinsey or Masters and Johnson. These pioneers, and their successors removed the yoke of puritanical religiosity and political law out of the bedrooms. Through the experimentation and freedom of the sixties and seventies, we started to come out of the dark ages of sexual hypocrisy.
This brave new world; the twenty-first century, is a period of time unprecedented. Humanity follows Walt Whitman's instructions--and celebrates itself in all love and sexuality that occurs between consenting adults. Now, in a loving gay relationship, Burks and Sexual Surrender are vital to the celebration.

After meeting Mr. Burks, I was intrigued in learning more about his developing and recovering from sexual addiction. I was surprised to learn how sexual encounters can become so boring coming from a top grade narcissist. I do believe Mr. Burns had the best intentions.
The message is most important. The purpose of the book is clearly stated and is most important to the authors journey
Totally Speechless....
This book is a good read for persons who are in a battle to be whole. If you read pass the words, see yourself, and receive the message you are moving in a positive direction. I believe healing is the message, and self-awareness is the beginning of the journey.
The author gives great insight on sex addiction and what to look out for if you or your loved one is dealing with the same issue.
