Inside The Brain of A Porn Addict

Join our group for couples overcoming porn addiction: www.couplesovercomingpornaddiction.com

In this episode, we talk in depth about the impacts of porn on the brain and the pandemic that men, women and families are experiencing at this time in our culture as a result. We go into questions like:

What does porn really do to men’s brains?

Why can it lead to PIED?

Why does it escalate to things like out of control fetishes, promiscuous behavior and in person infidelity?

Why is there such a disconnect to understanding this as an unfaithful act and understanding their partner’s pain?

Why do men with this addiction also exhibit alarming narcissistic traits?

Why after stopping use of porn, doesn’t this fix everything for the man and give him back the ability to connect with a real life partner?
