About this listen

I often have conversations with men who feel frustrated with themselves for continuing to view pornography, despite the negative impact it has on them and their relationships with their spouses or girlfriends. They all seem to wonder why they persist in behaviors they genuinely wish to avoid. The answer isn't always straightforward, as everyone is unique.


However, pornography expert Patrick Carnes has pinpointed several key motivators for pornography use that can often shed light on the struggles men face with this issue. Understanding our motivations or what drives us to act in certain ways is crucial. In my view, it's essential to tackle the root of the problem rather than just addressing the symptoms. This is what we aim to start exploring in this episode.
