How Porn Rewires Your Brain: Neuroscience vs. Porn Performers

Your brain is powerful. It just needs the right reset.

When I joined Jubilee’s Middle Ground with adult performers, the conversation circled around choice and empowerment. But here’s what didn’t get enough airtime: what porn actually does to your brain.

🧠 It spikes dopamine in unnatural ways.

💔 It builds tolerance that leaves real connection feeling flat.

⚠️ It rewires your arousal system away from healthy intimacy.

If you’ve felt less connected, more distracted, or unsure how to feel intimacy again — your brain may be out of sync. But it’s not broken. It’s plastic. And I can help you rewire it.

Using qEEG brain mapping and neurofeedback, we’ll find the specific patterns keeping you stuck and create a plan to heal them — step by step, with clarity and care.

⚠️ If you’re in recovery, skip the full Jubilee episode and stay with me here. This 7-part series is built to give you answers — without risking setbacks.

Let’s reset your brain and reclaim what matters most. I'm here for you.

A huge thank you to Jubilee Media for creating space for this honest dialogue. Together, we can spread the truth, rewire your brain, and help you reclaim genuine connection and lasting pleasure pathways.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
