Jamesmichael- I am not familiar with that book/website "How To Write a Logline". What can you tell me/us about it, and where might I find it?

“An undesirable Sexaholic who struggles to have sex meets a fellow, female, sex addict who teaches him other dangerous methods to starve off his addiction.”
Issue #1- Sex is mentioned three times.
Issue #2- Can one “starve off” an addiction? I’ve not heard that phrase before.
Issue #3- I would target one dangerous method in the logline, and let the story play out to include the other eleven.
For Example: “A homely sexaholic, struggling to find willing partners, chooses to “hang” with a gorgeous escort who teaches him the dangerous art of autoerotic asphyxiation.” (24 words)
Protag- homely sexaholic
Antag- escort
Goal- to find willing partners, or to be rid of need for partners
Inner conflict- his need for acceptance
Outer conflict- his addiction, need for sexual release
Stakes- possible death
Hook- the secret underground world of autoerotic asphyxia
Genre- drama
Hope this helps some!

Good title. I want to know more about the female detective- what is she like before the dark side emerges? I would show that arc right there in the logline.
How about an example of the darker “impulses”?
With a little work, you can get this down to one line, I think.
“A highly-decorated detective finds herself drawn to a vicious robbery suspect, and as she falls more deeply in love, discovers the erotic thrill of the “violent chase”.”
Might not be your story, but hopefully you get the idea of what I was suggesting. Try to make sure your “hook” is clear, whenever possible.
