In today’s episode I’m going to tackle a taboo topic: porn addiction.

Pornography can be a difficult area for men to traverse because it’s something we’re incredibly shameful of. Most men don’t even want to admit they view porn. It’s also a common thing for men to struggle with, especially in our younger years when feelings of arousal are high but our understanding of sexuality hasn’t fully developed. It’s an easy way to deal with built up sexual energy but also boredom, frustration, and other negative emotions.

Society as a whole can view men as being driven to sex from a purely animalistic level. This mentality has become so ingrained that many men view themselves this way and perpetuate it in their own lives. Because of this, many men miss out on love and sex at their optimal levels, which is really tragic. Porn makes this problem even worse as it gives us a very mechanical, emotionless portrayal of what sex is.

We need to overcome the shame and the guilt in this area so we can reach out for help and begin improving our lives. Take a few steps back and look at your life as a whole. Are you bored? Do you lack creative outlets? Are you nervous?
