The Naked Truth

In this Language of Love Bite, I'm going there. We are talking about the impact of pornography on our love lives. 
One of the main concerns I discuss in this episode is the accessibility of porn to young people. With the internet being so readily available, it's easier than ever for children and teens to stumble upon explicit content. It turns out that newer research is demonstrating porn can have a profound long-term effect on the developing brain, impacting one’s ability to get aroused without using it. Another issue we are covering is the addictive nature of porn. It's not uncommon for individuals to become hooked on watching porn, spending hours upon hours consuming it. 
We also get into the ways porn is being misused as a poor form of sex education, setting couples back who have a skewed perception of what pleasurable sex looks and feels like. This can lead to a distorted view of what constitutes a healthy sexual relationship, as porn often portrays unrealistic scenarios and expectations.
I’m also sharing:

Why porn is not all bad, and how it can be used in a healthy way 

The digital distortion of porn and how it affects how your brain perceives what it sees

How porn can negatively affect your dopamine levels

The misrepresentation of sexual relationships by porn

The pressure on women to engage in activities influenced by porn

Why porn is not a substitute for intimacy


If you or someone you know is struggling with the impact of porn on their relationship, I encourage you to seek professional help — a therapist who specializes in sex addiction can provide guidance and support in navigating these complex issues.
