Long-Term Porn use in Marriage
In this episode, I address what I. believe is the result of long term porn use in relationships. While some argue it can enhance sexual experiences, others say it breeds discontent, and an inability to connect intimately with one's partner. I will be drawing insights from my personal experiences and those of members in my recovery group who claim shattered marriages, career losses and even deeper dives into other forms of addiction.
