UNCUT: The Male Puberty Podcast

[Ep. 2] Undress to Impress: Porn, Shame, and Isolation with Mo Wildman

Naveed Season 1 Episode 2

In this episode of UNCUT: The Male Puberty Podcast, I sit down with Mo Wildman to explore the unspoken struggles and vulnerabilities of his puberty.

Mo takes us back to his first date at 13, where he tried to impress a girl by taking off his shirt—a moment that left him grappling with shame and insecurity. He reflects on how experiences like this shaped his understanding of masculinity, intimacy, and self-worth.

We also dive into a pivotal topic: porn. From his first encounters with friends to how it influenced his relationships and sense of connection, Mo offers an honest look at:

  • The isolating effects of early exposure to porn.
  • How porn overcouples emotional safety with dissociation.
  • The impact of non-reciprocal relationships 

We wrap up with a powerful freestyle rap, "I'm Not Alone With This Shit," capturing the solidarity we all crave in these conversations.
