Most men don’t realize what porn is actually costing them… until it’s already showing up in their sex life, motivation, or relationships. *(And, you're not alone, I struggled with this too). I highly recommend listening if you've EVER questioned your use of or relationship with porn...
🔴 🎥 - You can also watch this episode on Youtube here.
In today's episode, Jeremy (who is a full time Porn Addiction Recovery Coach for men) and I dive into:
✅ - How watching porn (even when it seems “normal”) can quietly drain your vitality, confidence, sexual performance and your connection to what really matters...
✅ - How to help you identify whether or not you have a problematic and/or addictive relationship with porn...
✅ - What to do about it - how to stop watching porn (if you want to)
✅ - How to create a healthy and thriving life & sex life without porn
--------
You'll hear personal stories from both of us... (we were both addicted), you'll get new ways to think about sex and arousal, and you'll get practical tools you can start using today - to transform any behavior you want INTO a healthy choice that supports the life you want to live.
To be very clear: this conversation is NOT going to shame you or guilt trip you - it's here to help us men navigate one of the most alluring and destructive forces on the planet (porn). For that, we need awareness, compassion, discernment and strength.
Thanks for being here. Let's get into it!
