Porn Is Just A Symptom—The REAL Relationship & Dating Crisis (And Where We Go From Here)


Listen Later

I sit down with Dr. Alok Kanojia (Dr. K), Harvard-trained psychiatrist and founder of Healthy Gamer, to explore why there’s an increase in porn addiction and why dating and relationships feel harder than ever before. We dive into exactly what’s creating these widespread mental health struggles, especially in men, and what we can and should be doing to protect ourselves, our partners, and the world at large.

This episode blends neuroscience, psychology, and timeless wisdom to help you understand your inner wiring. We discuss tools to amp up our distress tolerance, curb addictions, limit our use of technology, increase social connections, and own our agency to help create a better world. 

Plus, we discuss a ton of juicy information and opinions around porn usage.

We get into:

  • The rise of erectile dysfunction in men
  • Porn’s impact on your sex life
  • If porn is bad and exactly how and when to use it
  • Porn’s surprising use for things other than masturbation
  • Addictions and how to stop them
  • Dopamine engineering
  • Distress tolerance
  • Declining birth rates
  • Why there’s less dateable men (and what to do about it)
  • And so much more
  • For more from Dr. K, find him on YouTube @HealthyGamerGG, online at https://www.healthygamer.gg/, or check out Dr. K’s Guide to Mental Health.
