(19) Porn, Fantasy, and Compulsive Sexual Behavior: How Much is Too Much?

from Intimate Judaism · host Talli Rosenbaum and Rabbi Scott Kahn

Our sources teach us that lusting after our hearts is prohibited. Yet sexual curiosity, fantasy, and thinking about sex are part of the normative developmental process. Therefore, how do we determine how much is too much and what thoughts and behaviors are problematic? Is what may be "bad for your neshama" like viewing porn, necessarily bad for your mental health, and might the battle to guard one's eyes and control one's thoughts actually backfire, leading to obsessional thinking and compulsive behaviors? Join Talli Rosenbaum and Rabbi Scott Kahn as they discuss sex addiction, pornography, and compulsive sexual behaviors, as well as identification, prevention, and treatment. Special thanks to Dr. Yaniv Efrati, educator and sex researcher, for his valuable contribution to the discussion.
