I joined Melissa Hadley Barrett on The Penis Project Podcast to talk about porn addiction, compulsive behaviors, and what they’re really doing to your brain and your relationships.
We broke down what addiction actually is, why so many men feel stuck in the cycle, and how things like dopamine, neuroplasticity, and the “amygdala hijack” keep you coming back—even when you want to stop.
We also talked about practical tools like mindfulness, the 90-second rule, and why willpower alone usually isn’t enough… you need support and accountability.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re fighting this battle alone, this conversation will give you a different way to look at it—and a path forward.
Have you ever felt like you’re not in control of your habits?
If this resonates, share it with someone who needs it—and subscribe for more conversations on recovery, discipline, and real change.
