If you’ve ever told yourself “I’m not addicted… I just use it to relax,” that's a sign you might want to listen to this episode...

Most men don’t realize what porn is actually costing them… until it’s already showing up in their sex life, motivation, or relationships.

Today I'm joined by porn addiction recovery coach Jeremy Lipkowitz - to explore how porn use (even when it seems “normal”) might be quietly draining your vitality, confidence, sexual performance and your connection to what really matters... AND to help you identify whether or not you have a problematic and/or addictive relationship with porn...

In this episode you'll hear personal stories from both of us... (we were both addicted), you'll get new ways to think about sex and arousal, and you'll get practical tools you can start using today - to transform any behavior you want INTO a healthy choice that supports the life you want to live.

To be very clear: this conversation is NOT going to shame you or guilt trip you - it's here to help us men navigate one of the most alluring and destructive forces on the planet (porn). For that, we need awareness, compassion, discernment and strength.

Thanks for being here. Let's get into it!
