Ep.37 - "Beyond Porn: A Father’s Path to Power" – with Tyson Adams
Wed Jul 09 2025
Welcome to Episode 37 with Tyson AdamsIn this episode of WHOA DAD! GO DAD!, I sit down with Tyson Adams—men’s coach, therapist, and founder of the Life Force men’s group—to have one of the most sobering, essential, and profound conversations we've ever had on this podcast. Topic: PORNPorn and a hypersexualized culture hve put our country in a precarious position. Porn impacts our personal agency by hijacking the nervous system and creating compulsive habits that weaken focus, confidence, and self-control. It damages intimacy, teaching us to prioritize performance and consumption over connection and presence. It steals childhood innocence, exposing kids to distorted content before they’re ready, often without guidance. It weakens our culture by producing low-energy, distracted men who struggle to lead with purpose. It leaves young people disembodied and dysregulated, normalizing overstimulation and confusion around identity and boundaries. And perhaps most dangerously, it disconnects us from the sacred, reducing sex to entertainment and stripping it of its spiritual power. This isn’t just a moral issue. It’s a generational one.Tyson brings a warrior’s heart to one of the most taboo and urgent issues facing fathers and families today: the devastating impact of pornography on our bodies, minds, relationships, and, most importantly, our children. Together, we unpack the cultural conditions that have hypersexualized society, the mechanics of addiction through a nervous system lens, and what it means to reclaim our agency—not just for ourselves, but for the generations to come.Tyson shares his personal journey from 20 years of addiction to becoming a global voice for sexual integrity, masculine wholeness, and fatherhood done right. We explore:-Why porn is not just a private issue—it’s a systemic one, affecting everything from our focus to our finances.-How to talk to your kids about sex, porn, and self-worth without shame or fear.-The science and sacredness of semen retention—and why energy, presence, and intention in our sexuality matter.-How slowing down in intimacy can open up cosmic-level connection with your partner.-Why doing your own shadow work is the most protective thing you can do for your kids.-As Tyson put it: “Outgrowing porn is not a moral issue—it’s a nervous system issue. It’s the most efficient biohack to becoming a powerful, present father.”This episode will challenge you. It will likely stir discomfort. And it should. Because fatherhood isn’t about staying safe—it’s about stepping up.🎧 Listen in and pass this one along. Our sons and daughters are counting on us.Connect with Tyson:https://www.thriive.life/lifeforcehttps://www.instagram.com/tysonadams__Onward!-Dave MomperLeadership Coach and Brand New Dadwww.thrivalconcepts.com #Fatherhood #MensWork #IntentionalParenting #RaisingLegends #ModernFatherhood #PresenceOverPerfection #DadLife #ParentingPodcast #LeadershipAndFatherhood #EmpoweredFathers #SoftTalkAwareness #HolisticPerformance #MindsetMatters #RaisingLegends #MasculineLeadership #PornRecovery #SemenRetention #ConsciousParenting #MenDoingTheWork #DigitalIntegrity #ModernManhood #ProtectOurKids #IntentionalFatherhood #SacredMasculine #WHOADADGODAD
