  • Consent

    Focus on WHY men need to be honest with their partners: consent theft and integrity theft.

    There needs to be more focus on the objectification of women, gendered power dynamics and male entitlement, not just addiction. This is a significant piece of the puzzle. Men would not tolerate this behavior if it were the other way around (especially if the content was actually aimed at female preferences and desire and consumed without them being present or involved).

    Please emphasize to men that lyin... more

  • Grateful to you both!

    Thank you so much for what you both do! For years my husband and I struggled with this heartbreak until one year ago when I discovered your podcast. It was your “What is Pornography” that opened up his eyes. I can’t thank you enough.

  • An absolute must!!!

    I was in denial about my addiction until I listened to episode 1, “What is Pornography”. This podcast has helped me, and my Spouce, in ways I can’t even begin to explain. With so many important topics covered and the way Mark and Steve relay their information, I have incorporated this show into a part of my recovery program. The fact that the hosts are in recovery themselves helps, too. This podcast has changed my life, and saved my marriage. Thank you, Mark and Steve, for all the knowledge you ... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

He Turned Me Into Porn . . . Now I Don't Want Sex at All—Is This Normal?!
Q: My question is about sexual aversion on the side of the betrayed partner. Is this a normal reaction given the history described?
Yes, sexual aversion is a normal and understandable response when betrayal trauma, objectification, and early trauma are involved. The hosts explain that healing requires safety experiences and a paced, collaborative approach to reintroducing intimacy, with emphasis on boundaries, non-sexual connection, and addressing the partner's trauma history.
Can "Just Looking" Destroy a Marriage: Understanding Visual Sexual Addiction
Q: Why does scanning or looking hurt more than actual masturbation for the partner?
The emotional element linked with feeling compared to others makes scanning deeply hurtful, as it feels personal and undermines self-worth.
Can "Just Looking" Destroy a Marriage: Understanding Visual Sexual Addiction
Q: How could visual sexual behavior alone become addictive without masturbation or orgasm?
Addiction is not solely linked to sexual release; it can exist through the visual stimulation and the escapism it provides, leading to compulsive behaviors.
In a Relationship Filled with Betrayal—How Can I Trust He will Not Betray Me Again?!
Q: What is the best way for a betrayed partner to start healing and rebuilding trust in their relationship?
The first step is to ensure that a formal disclosure takes place, allowing the partner to know the full truth to make informed choices moving forward.
When Touch Feels Like Pressure: Breaking Free from Over-Sexualization
Q: How can one tell the difference between healthy, normal touching versus an over-sexualized approach to touch?
Healthy touch is consensual and safe, whereas over-sexualization involves intrusive behaviors that disregard the partner's consent and boundaries.
