No More Desire ™ Porn Addiction Recovery
What have you tried so far to quit porn? Accountability buddies, talk therapy, internet filters, church or religious programs, or mindfulness techniques to 'get rid of cravings'… Many of these have merit, but they're often missing key elements for long-lasting sobriety. It isn’t enough to just “stop watching porn”. Porn addiction is a symptom of deeper, underlying challenges that I address using evidence-based psychological and behavioral practices.
My mission isn't just to help people overcome porn addiction, but to give them each step to establish a recovery mindset and lifestyle. This is done using hands-on, daily exercises that retrain the brain and forge new habits that last a lifetime. Once this mindset and lifestyle are established, the desire for porn naturally fades.

39: Video Games and Porn Addiction
Do you have an issue with porn addiction and video game addiction?
If so, you’re not alone, my friend. I used to have both of these addictions, and I’ve known many men (and some women) who have struggled with these as well.
Video games and porn go hand-in-hand.
And I’m not talking about the simple fact that video games have sexual content in them sometimes - perfect, animated women that defy reality. That’s triggering (obviously), but I’m talking about something much deeper.
In this episode, we’re going to talk about how playing video games can make you more susceptible to porn addiction. And we’ll talk about some strategies to minimize or quit playing video games so that you can make it easier to quit porn.
We’ve talked about pleasure conditioning in previous episodes. This is the concept that the more high stimulation, low effort activities you participate in, the more susceptible you will be to pornography addiction (or any addiction for that matter).
At the same time, the more high effort, high reward activities you participate in, the more susceptible you will be to addiction recovery.
In order to break free of porn addiction, we need to fill our lives with meaning. We need to break the habit of treating life as if we are to “consume it upon [our] lusts”.
But this is easier said than done, right? Most of us addicts, as far as I’ve seen, genuinely want to be good people and do good things. We just have this monkey on our back that we can’t seem to shake.
In today’s episode, I’m going to teach you how to shake off the monkey.
