Parental discretion is advised for children. Dr. Lisa Strohman is a clinical psychologist, attorney, and author. Distractions have increased, especially as cell phone cameras have improved. (3:00) In addition, social media is a major challenge. At the same time, most people don't understand how AI actually works. (17:30) This raises an important question: What are we giving up for convenience? Critical thinking skills are being diminished. Writing by hand activates the brain's neural pathways; in contrast, AI encourages a more passive state of the brain. Dr. Strohman researched the Columbine tragedy in 1999. (34:00) Concerning trends show signs of increased narcissism, reduced empathy, and lower levels of oxytocin (a key bonding chemical). (36:00) As a result, many kids raised on tech and social media place less value on other humans, and certain apps make this worse. News spreads instantly, and memories of current events fade quickly as the next story replaces them. (47:00) Negative interactions are increasing; let's refocus on teaching how to be good humans. Society leans heavily on tech because it's easy; however, that's not necessarily a good thing. (1:05:00) Remaining Vigilant Safety settings on social media and other platforms are largely an illusion. (1:08:00) Dr. Strohman's team participated in a product liability case against Meta, involving the grooming of minors. (1:10:00) Pornography changes the brain in a harmful way. Another key point is that ads are deliberately targeted at children as young as 8, unless parents are extremely vigilant about filtering. Other high-profile violent cases are discussed. Again, parental discretion is strongly advised. (1:18:00) Dr. Strohman is working to restore control to the parents. "Harmless tech" is not harmless.

Pornography addiction is often oversimplified and mis-interpreted as a moral issue rather than complex mental health concern. Understanding that pornography addiction is a trauma response can reshape our perspective and approach toward this complex issue. Addictions: A Symptom of Deeper Wounds Addictions serve as symptoms rather than root causes. The Dual Nature of Addiction Addiction operates on two fronts: the emotional and the physical (biological). The Science of Addiction When examining the physical aspect, pornography addiction becomes evident through its strong parallels to substance addiction. Addressing the Root Causes Addressing pornography addiction meaningfully requires digging into its root causes. Overcoming Shame and Stigma Combatting pornography addiction also requires shifting societal perceptions, emphasizing it as a health risk rather than solely a moral quandary. Gender Differences in Addiction Understanding differences across genders in pornography addiction is important. Navigating Recovery with Faith On the road to recovery, incorporating faith can have powerful implications. A Community of Hope Breaking free from pornography addiction requires support, hope, and reassurance. Creating a Family Dialogue For parents, opening honest dialogues about the risks of pornography with children is essential. Reconstructing Pathways to Recovery Ultimately, recognizing pornography addiction as a trauma response.

In this deeply personal episode of The Intentional Guy Podcast, Mike Chestnut shares a conversation that changed his understanding of recovery forever.Many men believe recovery ends when the pornography stops. But what if your wife is still carrying wounds you've never taken the time to understand?This episode explores the hidden impact pornography has on marriage, why wives often experience it as rejection instead of "just a mistake," and how true healing begins when we stop defending ourselves and start listening.Whether you're fighting pornography, rebuilding trust after betrayal, or simply want a stronger Christ-centered marriage, this conversation is one every husband needs to hear.

Do you ever feel like you genuinely want connection, but somehow keep finding yourself disconnected?You want to be close to your wife. You want deeper relationships. You want to feel connected to God. You want to be emotionally present with your children. You want to overcome pornography addiction and become the man you know you are capable of being.Yet when life becomes painful, stressful, overwhelming, or emotionally intense, you find yourself withdrawing, shutting down, becoming defensive, or looking for an escape.For many men, this is one of the most confusing parts of recovery. You know pornography is hurting your life. You know it is damaging your relationships. You know it leaves you feeling ashamed, discouraged, and disconnected. Yet despite your best efforts, you continue finding yourself pulled back toward the same patterns.Why?In this episode of No More Desire, I sit down with therapist, author, and addiction specialist Dr. Eddie Capparucci to discuss why so many men struggle to love, connect, and feel their emotions. We explore the hidden relationship between pornography addiction, emotional regulation, attachment wounds, childhood experiences, and the deep human need for connection.One of the most powerful ideas we discuss is that pornography addiction is often far less about sexual desire than most men realize. While many men believe they are fighting a battle with lust, the deeper struggle is frequently emotional pain. Pornography often becomes a way to escape loneliness, rejection, shame, inadequacy, stress, anxiety, disappointment, or emotional overwhelm. In other words, it is not always about pursuing pleasure. Often, it is about finding relief.Dr. Capparucci shares insights from decades of clinical experience helping men understand the emotional roots of addiction. We discuss how many men grow up without learning how to process difficult emotions in healthy ways. They learn how to work hard, solve problems, achieve goals, and provide for others, but they never learn how to sit with sadness, fear, shame, rejection, or vulnerability. As a result, many men enter adulthood emotionally disconnected from themselves and unsure how to create meaningful connection with others.We also talk about attachment wounds and how childhood experiences shape the way men relate to emotions, relationships, and recovery. This is not about blaming parents or searching for someone to fault. It is about understanding the stories we formed about ourselves when emotional needs went unmet and how those stories continue influencing our lives today. Many men are still carrying beliefs like "I am not enough," "I have to handle everything on my own," or "My emotions do not matter," without even realizing it.Throughout the conversation, we explore why emotional regulation is one of the most important skills a man can develop in recovery. If a man cannot regulate emotional discomfort, he will constantly search for ways to escape it. This is why lasting freedom requires more than accountability software, filters, or willpower. Recovery requires learning how to stay present with difficult emotions instead of running from them.We also discuss why many men struggle with emotional intimacy in marriage. When their wife is hurting, many men instinctively move into problem-solving, explaining, fixing, minimizing, or defending. Not because they do not care, but because emotional intensity feels overwhelming. Dr. Capparucci explains how emotional intelligence allows a man to stop focusing on protecting himself and start focusing on understanding the deeper pain underneath what his spouse is experiencing.One of my favorite parts of the conversation is our discussion about connection. Addiction thrives in secrecy, isolation, and emotional disconnection. Recovery thrives in honesty, vulnerability, emotional awareness, and healthy relationships. The more connected a man becomes—to God, to himself, to his emotions, to his spouse, and to trusted friends—the less he needs pornography to perform its old role.This episode is for the man who is tired of fighting symptoms and wants to understand the deeper roots of his struggle. It is for the husband who wants to become emotionally present instead of emotionally unavailable. It is for the man who wants to heal attachment wounds, develop emotional intelligence, strengthen his recovery, and build meaningful connection in every area of life.Pornography addiction often teaches a man to escape.Recovery teaches a man to stay.Stay present.Stay connected.Stay honest.Stay in the work.Let's get moving.God bless.Check out more from Dr. Eddie Capparucci at abundantlifecounselingga.com, where you'll find resources on the Inner Child Model, emotional healing, attachment wounds, and recovery from problematic sexual behaviors.Link to Blog Article for this EpisodeVisit No More Desire Tools for Recovery for recovery tools and training, including my free eBook, Workshop, The RAIL Method ™ and more to help you break free from porn.If you're tired of trying to quit porn on your own, the No More Desire Academy gives you a structured path to recovery through coaching, brotherhood, practical tools, and step-by-step training.

You love your partner.So why does a screen feel more exciting than real life?Most people assume it's a relationship problem.But what if it's a brain problem?The brain adapts to what it experiences most.Scrolling. Short videos.Pornography.  Constant novelty.Over time, stimulation becomes the reward.And real-life connections can start feeling less exciting than they used to.Because your brain learned to chase novelty instead of connection. Your brain has been hijacked.Why Does Pornography Lower Relationship Satisfaction? The Neuroscience Explained

I review a sermon about fighting sexual sin.

On YAS Podcast, host Daisy Ducati interviews Dr. Mireille Miller-Young (UC Santa Barbara), author of A Taste for Brown Sugar: Black Women in Pornography, about researching Black women's labor, representation, and sexual agency in adult media. Miller-Young discusses identifying in solidarity with sex workers, academic stigma and career pushback, and how sex workers cared for her during fieldwork as she sought to disrupt extractive research traditions. She explains developing a “Black feminist pornographic gaze,” critiques anti-porn feminism's shallow analysis and alignment with criminalization, and connects policies like the Nordic model and FOSTA-SESTA to increased danger and deplatforming. The conversation also addresses racialized policing of massage parlors, censorship and surveillance in academia, and her argument that Black women navigate both exploitation and agency through “erotic sovereignty,” urging listeners to avoid stigma and center sex workers' voices.   All the Chapters   00:00 Conference Backlash 00:39 Podcast Welcome 02:00 Pronouns Solidarity 04:34 Care From Workers 07:07 Awards And Motherhood 09:00 Research Origins 11:47 Labor Roots Story 14:48 Archive Hunt 16:31 Pornographic Gaze 20:52 Policy And Policing 23:29 FOSTA SESTA Fallout 26:23 Surveillance Creep 28:20 AI Sex Project 30:23 Academic Silencing 32:52 Fear of Wokeism 33:29 CRT and Property 34:50 Education Under Attack 36:11 News Burnout Break 36:53 Support the Podcast 37:24 Book Exploitation and Agency 37:51 Feminist Sex Wars 38:28 Queer Porn Counterculture 42:36 Respectability Backlash 48:49 Erotic Sovereignty Theory 50:04 Money Sex Fame 51:33 Sex Work History Choices 01:00:19 Stigma Media Literacy 01:03:04 Sexual Radical Future 01:05:16 Closing and Where to Find   All the links   Dr. Mireille Website Donate to our work  ⁠YAS Work Instagram⁠ ⁠YAS Work BlueSky⁠ ⁠YAS Work Twitter⁠ ⁠YAS Work Youtube YASStore.Shop

A Catholic exorcist sprinkles holy water on an inmate's tattoo and the man starts screaming that it burns. Over a decade as an exorcist has shown Father John exactly how evil gets carried into a home — a doll, a statue, a souvenir — and goes to work on the people you love before you ever feel it in the room. Catholic exorcist and longtime prison chaplain Father John breaks down generational curses, cursed objects sold in ordinary shops, the demon that admitted hatred alone can generate a curse, and the fairy statue that concealed a decapitated priest sealed in plastic. He explains how to tell mental illness from a spiritual attack, why heavy pornography use can leave a demon attached, and what the Church never taught its own priests. Raw field notes from a man who does this work every week — not theory.

This week, Juli, Hannah, and Joe answer one of the hardest questions many of us face: What do I do if my spouse is looking at porn? This conversation is honest, compassionate, and full of hope. We talk through the pain, shame, confusion, and secrecy that pornography often brings into a marriage—and why healing is still possible for both the person struggling and the spouse who feels hurt and betrayed. You'll hear practical wisdom on how to find the support you need, why you can't be your spouse's accountability partner, and how true intimacy is about so much more than just changing a behavior. Whether this struggle has touched your marriage personally or that of someone you love, it's one you'll definitely want to share. Co-hosts: Hannah Nitz & Joe Caruso It's book launch week!

We map the shame and anger cycle that keeps partners stuck, then share practical ways to rebuild trust through curiosity, empathy, and consistent repair. • Reframing pornography use as relational and systemic, not just individual behavior • Pornography as a coping strategy for difficult emotions and how avoidance spills into marriage • The negative interaction cycle after betrayal, including shame, fixing, withdrawal, anger, and distrust • Why empty promises fail and how trust rebuilds through time and consistency • Why secrecy matters more than the content for many couples • Confessing early versus being discovered and the impact on safety and vulnerability • Betrayal trauma responses, including volatility and PTSD-like symptoms • Simple language shifts that validate pain without defensiveness • Clarifying values and agreeing on goals, abstinence versus negotiated boundaries • Tools from emotionally focused therapy, enactments, and impact versus intent • The mindset shift that you don't have to heal alone, and why professional help accelerates progress • Where to find Josh and his resources at Big Valley Therapy Coming June 23: Happy Hacks: 101 Science-Backed Ways to Boost Happiness, Reduce Stress, and Build a More Meaningful Life.Available now for Kindle Pre-Order for 99¢Written by Dr. Dave Schramm, this practical and uplifting new book offers simple, research-based strategies to help you build greater happiness, strengthen resilience, reduce stress, and create a more meaningful life—one small habit at a time.Available June 23 wherever books are sold.The opinions, findings, conclusions, and recommendations expressed in this podcast do not necessarily reflect the views of the Utah Marriage Commission.Visit our site for FREE relationship resources and regular giveaways: Strongermarriage.org  Podcast.stongermarriage.orgYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@StrongerMarriageLifeTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@strongermarriagelifeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/strongermarriagelife/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/strongermarriage/Facebook Marriage Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/770019130329579Dr. Dave Schramm: http://drdaveschramm.comhttp://drdavespeaks.com Dr. Liz Hale: http://www.drlizhale.com/

My good friend Matt Cline is here with me today to talk through the cultural epidemic of pornography. We are diving into the deeper roots behind sexual sin, temptation, and transformation. Matt discusses why behavior modification alone isn't enough, how our view of sex shapes the way we lead and relate to others, and why isolation keeps people stuck. Explore how true freedom comes through renewing the mind, pursuing Christlikeness, and allowing God to transform us from the inside out.    Episode Highlights: Surface-level behavior change isn't enough—you have to deal with the root issue. The way we follow Christ should shape the way we think about sex and intimacy. Hidden sexual sin doesn't stay isolated—it affects every relationship around us. Sexual immorality pulls us toward selfishness instead of self-giving love. God invites you to live in His grace and the freedom He offers. Quotes from this Conversation: Matt: Love, living in love and engaging in sexual immorality cannot happen at the same time.  The purpose for our sexual desire is a training ground for Christlikeness. For dying to self and stewarding our urges. Accountability should not be focused simply on not sinning. Temptation is simply an opportunity for transformation.  I tried to quit the sin for so long without ever learning how to renew my mind. Never learning how to think like Jesus in the sexual area of my life.  The amount of perversion in our faces all the time, lends to us justifying "lesser sins." You can get rid of the behavior but what about the worldview or the view on sex that has been established in you that you have not yet had renewed?   Dr. Kim: Isolation does nothing good for us at all. Isolation when we're dealing with something negative should not be something that we do. We give people hope because not in us and not our ministries, but in this God who created us. I want to know Nancy loves me even with everything out on the table.  Time to Talk About It: Are there areas in my life where I've focused more on behavior management than true heart transformation? How has my worldview around sex, intimacy, or temptation been shaped more by culture than by Christ? When I struggle, do I tend to isolate myself or invite trusted people into honesty, accountability, and healing?   Mentioned in This Episode: Check out what Matt is doing at Restored Ministries If your marriage is struggling with betrayal, check out our course: Marriage Undefiled
