Porn often feels like the easier option — no pressure, no rejection, no emotional work. But when it becomes your go-to outlet, it can quietly chip away at intimacy, connection, and confidence... without you even noticing.

This episode isn't about shame. It's about clarity. We're unpacking the real impact of porn in relationships — especially if you're a dad, a man, or the higher-desire partner in your relationship.

We're diving into:

  • Why so many men learned sex through porn
  • How porn becomes a coping tool for emotional overwhelm
  • What the neuroscience says about arousal and habit loops
  • Why porn use isn't always about attraction
  • The difference between healthy vs. harmful use
  • How mindful masturbation can reshape desire
  • What reconnection looks like (without pressure or shame)


Whether you're feeling disconnected or stuck in a cycle that doesn't feel great — this conversation will help you see what’s really going on... and what to do next.
