In episode 302 of The Rebuilt Man, Coach Frank Rich exposes the hard truth most men never hear about porn addiction: you're not stuck because you're weak or broken—you're stuck because you're trying the wrong solutions.

 

Men often turn to blockers, therapy, praying harder, more discipline, or even more sex… hoping something external will fix an internal identity conflict. But the reality is this:

 

Porn addiction is not about behavior. It's not about self-control. It's about identity.

 

Frank breaks down the seven most common strategies men use to quit porn—and explains why each one fails to create real, lasting transformation:

 

1. Porn blockers & accountability software
   Blockers protect boys. Identity transforms men.
   
   

2. Therapy focused only on the past
   Understanding pain doesn't rewire patterns or change behavior.
   
   

3. Reading the Bible & praying more
   Praying harder doesn't rewire neural pathways—action does.
   
   

4. Men's groups & 12-step programs
   Comfort doesn't change you. Identity does.
   
   

5. White-knuckling, willpower, or NoFap
   You cannot fight a neurological addiction with sheer grit.
   
   

6. Trying to quit or "staying busy"
   Staying busy is not healing—it's avoiding.
   
   

7. Having more sex or getting into a relationship
   This isn't a lack-of-sex issue—it's a dopamine and identity issue.
   
   

Frank then lays out the only path that actually leads to sustainable freedom:

 

Identity transformation powered by structure, purpose, discipline, and brotherhood.

 

This episode will challenge you, encourage you, and give you a clear next step toward freedom.
