This episode contains adult material regarding women who struggle with breaking their addiction to pornography. PARENTAL AND LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED. Lisa and Jeral will reveal how this addiction can take over a woman's life, jeopardize her marriage, family, friendships and career. Internet use has not only made access to pornography disturbingly easy, but offered the ability to view it discreetly. Though men and women are affected by pornography, there is a double standard in how women are viewed who use porn and are battling to end their addiction. This double standard and the underlying stigma often leads women to have increased feelings of guilt, shame and isolation. In this episode, we offer support, resources and hope.
