Episode 353: What Porn Actually Does to the Brain: Porn isn’t just about sex, it’s about the brain.
Wed Feb 04 2026

This conversation moves beyond shame and into understanding how novelty, dopamine, attachment, and emotional regulation intersect, and why real change starts with compassion, not control.
