Episode 353: What Porn Actually Does to the Brain:  Porn isn’t just about sex, it’s about the brain.

from Thanks for Sharing · host Jackie Pack

In this episode, we explore why porn is so compelling, why willpower usually fails, and why intelligent, caring people struggle with it even when it conflicts with their values or relationships. This conversation moves beyond shame and into understanding how novelty, dopamine, attachment, and emotional regulation intersect, and why real change starts with compassion, not control.
