What Porn Does to Your Mind - Jeremy Lipkowitz

What Porn Does to Your Mind - Jeremy Lipkowitz15 jul1 u 27 min

If you deal with addiction of any kind, or really any behaviour you find unhelpful, that you wish you had more control over, that you perhaps wouldn't tell your friends or family about, this is for you. Today we largely look at addiction through the lens of pornography, but really the way pornography is entwined with shame, pleasure, boredom and trauma means that while listening you can subsititute porn for whatever dopamine shortcut you take on a regular basis. Booze, Sleeve of timtams, online shopping, social media, so on.

Sick of being ruled by your emotions?
