Is your gaming habit quietly fueling your porn addiction? In this episode of No More Desire, Jake Kastleman explores the surprising neurological and psychological overlap between video games and porn use. 

Drawing from real neuroscience, addiction psychology, and philosophical insight, this solo episode breaks down why so many men stuck in compulsive porn cycles also spend hours gaming—and how both behaviors reinforce the same addictive pathways in the brain.

You’ll learn:

• How dopamine dysregulation links gaming and porn addiction
• Why video games reinforce avoidance, escapism, and dissociation
• How cross-addiction and habit stacking sabotage your recovery
• The Internal Family Systems (IFS) perspective on gaming as a protector part
• How to reclaim your presence, power, and masculine focus by healing your relationship with digital stimulation

Whether you’re a gamer, a recovering porn user, or spouse of an addict—this episode will challenge you to look deeper at the function of these behaviors, and give you actionable steps to break the loop.

It's time to reset your brain and reclaim freedom. Take the next step toward full recovery:
