034. The Truth About Porn and Your Sex Drive with Rose Heartsong
from Sex Ritual Radio · host Rose Heartsong
Rose Heartsong returns on Sex Ritual Radio to discuss porn’s impact on pleasure, intimacy, and the nervous system without shame, drawing from her recent trip to AVN in Las Vegas while representing Splash Blanket. She describes AVN as a disconnected, performance-driven environment and shares behind-the-scenes realities of porn production, arguing that algorithm-optimized novelty and escalation shape sexual expectations and become a primary form of sexual education. Rose connects porn to performance anxiety, erectile dysfunction in younger men, numbness and dissociation in vulva owners, and a broader cultural loss of relational sexual learning, while noting other health contributors and acknowledging porn helped her learn to masturbate. She contrasts screen-based porn with ritual theater and offers alternatives: quitting porn, resensitizing through slow self-touch, breathwork (including Wim Hof), nervous system regulation, presence practices, and partner eye-gazing and co-regulated breathing.Find Rose @ Insta https://www.instagram.com/roseheartsong/Website https://www.roseheartsong.com/ 00:00 Welcome and Topic01:13 Why AVN Hit Hard03:43 Porn History and Nervous System06:21 Personal Porn Education08:07 Algorithms and Taboo Trends12:45 Unlearning Performance in Sex15:58 Inside AVN Behind the Scenes21:01 Ritual Theater vs Screen Porn23:04 How Porn Rewires Pleasure32:37 Rebuilding Intimacy Practices38:19 Regulation Tools and Partner Connection40:49 Closing Thoughts and Support✨ Resources & Special Offers ✨🌹 Explore more at www.roseheartsong.com🛏 Splash Blanket - 10% off with code ROSEHEARTSONG → https://splashblanket.us/
