    The Pornography Problem: Why Men Are Struggling More Than Ever

    Welcome to our Gen X Dads comedy channel, where honesty, humor, and hard conversations collide. In this episode, “The Pornography Problem: Why Men Are Struggling More Than Ever,” we take a raw and real look at how pornography is impacting men mentally, physically, and romantically in ways few people are willing to talk about. Through personal stories, blunt truth, and dark humor, we explore how porn affects relationships, intimacy, self-worth, dating after divorce, fatherhood, loneliness, and emotional connection, especially for men navigating modern masculinity. This video isn’t about shame or preaching—it’s about awareness, accountability, and reminding men they are not broken or alone, while also helping women better understand the male experience behind closed doors. If you’re a Gen X dad, a divorced man, someone struggling with porn addiction, relationship issues, or simply trying to make sense of modern dating and masculinity, this conversation is for you. We discuss porn addiction, men’s mental health, intimacy issues, erectile dysfunction, dopamine addiction, marriage struggles, dating struggles, and how porn quietly rewires expectations and relationships.

    Men Would Rather Struggle Than Ask (And It's Destroying Them)!

    Men aren’t wired to ask for help, but the truth is far more complicated than pride or stubbornness. In this episode, Dawson and James break down why so many Generation X dads and men in general struggle to open up about stress, parenting challenges, divorce, dating, mental health, and loneliness. Through honest conversation, humor, and real-life stories, we explore how childhood conditioning, cultural expectations, and the pressure to “be strong” keep men silent even when they’re overwhelmed. We share what really happens inside a man’s mind when he needs support, why vulnerability feels risky, and how asking for help can actually strengthen relationships, fatherhood, and emotional resilience. Whether you’re a man who’s tired of carrying everything alone or a woman trying to understand the male perspective, this video offers clarity, connection, and a reminder that none of us have to do life solo.
