Internet porn is a powerful force in this day and age... Exposure to porn is on average between ages 8 and 11 and the hook is almost unavoidable to those who see it so young. This is substantial because we see porn stunting the natural development of the brain, offering it unrealistic doses of dopamine and ultimately, causing dysfunction that looks very similar to a brain affected by heavy drugs.

In this episode, we spend some time speaking into an email we received this last week that reads:

"He was messaging with women and sending them pictures and videos and made secret accounts to exchange inappropriate messages including pictures and videos. To me, that’s more than a porn addiction but I keep hearing and reading that it’s not more it’s just what it escalated to. No matter how hard I have tried, I cannot figure out how or why that would be considered part of the addiction. I feel like the extent of addictions in general really isn’t spoken about. It’s generalized to a porn addiction, but not explained thoroughly to people how/why it goes beyond viewing porn. I know an addict always seeks more, but to me that’s just blatant cheating. Porn can be a question to if it is or not but anything beyond viewing is without a doubt being unfaithful to me"

We are going to focus on a few key topics and themes to help bring some context to this question/concern:

1. Is watching porn considered cheating?

2. What's the difference between porn addiction and sex addiction?

3. Why do people go beyond viewing porn? 

4. How does watching porn atrophy the brain?

5. The brain, the mind, and the emotional baggage

6. How we can take total ownership and inspire change

Because we have gone through a similar situation ourselves where Shawn was cheating via porn, masturbation, and messaging random girls, we wanted to speak as people who don't just know the theory here but as people who can relate to the sender of this question/concern
