Ep: 179 Q&A: Tough Conversations Around Sex & Porn Addiction

26 minutes

In this Q&A episode, a listener wrote in asking for advice about a struggle she’s having with the frequency of her partner's desire for sex.

We discuss:

Normalizing the understanding that someone having access to you sexually isn’t a given just because it’s within the parameters of a partnership, and what actually constitutes as sexual assault.

How a society where men have been taught not to feel, often leads to sex as the primary outlet for connecting to their emotions and self-regulation.

The importance of seeking support and taking accountability for facing the underlying codependency that so often accompanies addictive tendencies within ourselves and others..
