Ep. 23 Porn Addiction Ruined My Sex Life: How Can I Fix It?

No More Desire ™ Porn Addiction Recovery

Do you feel like your porn addiction has ruined your sex life with your spouse? Do you worry that your feelings about sex will never be the same? Is porn a point of serious contention between you and your wife / husband?

Porn addiction can do a pretty serious number on our sex life.Watching porn trains our brain to view other people as objects. Despite our best efforts, sex with our spouse (instead of being a connective, intimate experience) can become an objectifying, means to an end.

We don’t like to talk about this. But the reality is that our sexual relationship - even when it is within the bonds of marriage - can be affected PERMANENTLY because of our pornography addiction. And that includes after we quit porn - even YEARS later.

This can feel very discouraging; like we’ll never be the same because of the effects of porn use.

But there is hope.

In this episode we talk about:

• How and why pornography addiction affects sex in real life.
• How we can talk with our wife / husband about our struggles.
• How we can train our brain to view sex in a more positive, connected way.
