No More Desire ™ Porn Addiction Recovery

118: Breaking the Dopamine Cycle: Tech Addiction, Porn, and the War for Your Attention


Listen Later

What if the real reason you can’t stop watching porn… isn’t porn itself?

In this episode of the No More Desire Podcast, I dive deep into the hidden connection between tech addiction, dopamine, and porn addiction recovery — and why constant distraction may be the true enemy of your freedom.

We live in a world built to hijack your attention. From smartphones and social media to the endless scroll of entertainment, every digital interaction trains your brain for instant gratification. Over time, this dopamine overload rewires your reward system, weakens your self-control, and makes you more vulnerable to pornography addiction.

But here’s the truth: your brain isn’t broken. It’s just conditioned. And what’s been conditioned can be reconditioned.

In this powerful, science-backed, spiritually grounded conversation, I’ll walk you through:

  • The neuroscience of dopamine and addiction — how tech overstimulation leads to desensitization and “hypofrontality,” weakening your prefrontal cortex (the part of your brain responsible for focus and discipline).
  • The psychology of distraction — how “attentional fragmentation” leaves men restless, unfocused, and disconnected from their purpose.
  • The real link between porn addiction and technology addiction — and how both exploit the same reward circuitry in the brain.
  • Ancient wisdom and modern mindfulness — what Jesus, the Buddha, and modern neuroscience all agree on: the power of stillness, presence, and self-awareness to rewire the addicted brain.
  • Practical methods for recovery — including my 30-Day Presence Challenge to help you regain control of your attention, rebuild your dopamine balance, and reconnect with real life and real people.

This episode is a call to arms for men who are tired of distractions running their lives. It’s about replacing compulsive stimulation with conscious connection — with your body, your relationships, and your higher purpose.
