Description
What have you tried so far to quit porn? Accountability buddies, talk therapy, internet filters, church or religious programs, or mindfulness techniques to 'get rid of cravings'… Many of these have merit, but they're often missing key elements for long-lasting sobriety. It isn’t enough to just “stop watching porn”. Porn addiction is a symptom of deeper, underlying challenges that I address using evidence-based psychological and behavioral practices.
My mission isn't just to help people overcome porn addiction, but to give them each step to establish a recovery mindset and lifestyle. This is done using hands-on, daily exercises that retrain the brain and forge new habits that last a lifetime. Once this mindset and lifestyle are established, the desire for porn naturally fades.

There was a time in my life when I felt like I was living at half capacity. I had ambition, purpose, and dreams about the man I wanted to become—but my daily reality didn’t match that vision. My focus was scattered. My motivation was unreliable. My mind often felt foggy, restless, and distracted. For years, I believed the problem was simple: porn addiction. Pornography seemed like the obvious cause of my lack of discipline and direction. And while porn certainly played a role, something deepe...
Most men believe their porn addiction defines them. They think, Why am I turned on by this? Why does my brain go here? Why can’t I stop watching porn? Underneath those questions is shame. But here’s what I want you to understand: you didn’t consciously choose your sexual scripts. Your nervous system learned them. Your brain absorbed them. Your body stored them. And what was conditioned can be retrained. In this episode, I break down how porn addiction rewires desire, how sexual conditioning s...
What if porn addiction isn’t actually about sex? What if the real issue isn’t lust… or self-control… or willpower? What if porn is a signal — pointing to something deeper in your unconscious mind? In this episode, I sit down with Michael Hallett to explore the root causes of porn addiction through the lens of shame, generational trauma, and the often-overlooked mother and father wounds that shape our emotional patterns. We go far beyond symptom management. We talk about healing at the root. I...
Most men believe a dangerous lie: “If I feel aroused, I need release.” In this episode, I challenge that belief head-on. If you’ve ever struggled with porn addiction, compulsive masturbation, or overwhelming sexual urges that feel impossible to control, this conversation will change the way you understand your body and your mind. You don’t “need” release. What you’re experiencing is nervous system activation — not biological necessity. In this episode, I break down the neuroscience of porn ad...
Most men believe porn addiction and objectification come from having too much sexual desire. That explanation feels convenient—but it’s incomplete. And for many men, it keeps them stuck. In this episode of No More Desire, I break down the real psychology of objectification and explain how porn trains men to avoid vulnerability—not because they’re weak or immoral, but because their nervous system learned that distance feels safer than connection. Porn addiction is not about lust. It’s about em...
Why do so many men keep relapsing into porn—even when they genuinely want recovery? Why does willpower work for a while… and then completely fall apart under stress, loneliness, or exhaustion? In this episode, I’m breaking down one of the most important truths men need to understand if they want to overcome porn addiction for good: Porn addiction is not a willpower problem. It’s a nervous system problem. Most recovery approaches focus almost entirely on the thinking brain—your thoughts, belie...
What if porn addiction recovery feels painful not because you’re failing—but because the way you’ve been taught to understand addiction is fundamentally flawed? For many men, trying to quit porn doesn’t feel empowering. It feels humiliating. It feels like staring straight at everything you believe is broken, defective, or dangerous about you. I know this feeling personally—because I lived it for years. The harder I tried to overcome porn addiction, the worse I felt about myself. R...
Most men believe porn addiction is driven by lust, temptation, or a lack of discipline. But what if that’s not the real problem? In this episode of No More Desire, I challenge one of the most common—and damaging—assumptions in porn addiction recovery: that the part of you that turns to porn is bad, broken, or sinful. What I’ve discovered through my own recovery, and through working with men across the world, is this: Porn addiction often isn’t about pleasure at all. It’s about emotional self-...
Is it possible to quit porn by changing your beliefs? Can you overcome porn addiction—not through willpower or positive thinking—but by going deeper into the painful emotions and unconscious beliefs that actually drive the habit? In this episode, I challenge the popular idea that you can “just believe differently” or manifest your way out of porn addiction. While mindset does matter, most advice about belief change misses a crucial step—and that missing step is the reason so many men keep rel...
Most men think porn addiction is about lust, lack of discipline, or not wanting freedom badly enough. It’s not. In this episode of the No More Desire Podcast, I sit down with Jordan Castille, a coach who works with men navigating pornography addiction, shame, and same-sex attraction, to have a conversation most recovery spaces still avoid. We talk about how bullying, rejection, and emotional trauma can shape a man’s relationship with porn long before he ever understands what’s happening insid...
If you’ve ever said to yourself, “Porn ruined my life” — but still find yourself going back to it — this episode is for you. For years, I believed quitting porn was about discipline, willpower, and avoiding temptation. But what I eventually discovered — both in my own recovery and in my work with men — is that porn addiction isn’t just about pleasure. It’s about attachment. And often, it’s an attachment not only to pleasure… but to pain. In this episode, I explore a side of porn addiction rec...
"Why can’t I stay hard?" It’s one of the most painful, confusing, and silent questions men carry — and one that too many men are afraid to ask out loud. If you’ve ever lost your erection during sex, if you’ve ever felt performance anxiety take over your body, if you can get aroused with porn but struggle with a real partner, or if you’ve wondered whether porn addiction has rewired your brain and damaged your ability to connect — This episode is for you. In today’s conversation, I sit down...
Most men don’t struggle with porn addiction because they lack discipline. They struggle because they were never taught how to understand, regulate, or work with their emotions. In this episode, I sit down with Rich Savoy—a coach, leader with Husband Material, and longtime mentor to men—to have one of the most honest conversations I’ve ever had about men, emotions, masculinity, and porn addiction recovery. We go beneath behavior and willpower and into the emotional and psychological roots that...
When I first started building a real recovery lifestyle, I believed the answer to breaking porn addiction was more control — more discipline, more structure, more “push harder.” But the truth is, that mindset only kept me trapped in dopamine overload, emotional numbness, and a constant battle against myself. In this episode, I sit down with my friend Jeremy Lipkowitz — former Buddhist monk, mindfulness teacher, and founder of The Unhooked Academy — to explore a radically different, science-b...
If you’ve ever wondered why you can’t “just stop” watching porn—why you cycle through cravings, shame, self-promises, and relapse—this episode will change the way you see your struggle forever. Because the truth is, porn addiction is not a willpower problem. It’s a nervous system problem. In this episode, I’m joined by my friend and colleague Chris Chandler, a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), trauma specialist, and one of the most grounded, brilliant men I know in the world of addict...
If you’ve ever wondered why you feel numb, disconnected, or unable to access the full depth of your emotions—this episode may hit closer to home than anything you’ve heard before. In today’s episode, I dig into one of the most overlooked factors in porn addiction recovery: your relationship with your physical body. We talk about why so many men feel emotionally flat, why empathy feels harder than it should, and why your motivation and sense of direction can feel so distant—even when you’re tr...
Most men battling porn addiction think their problem is “lust,” “self-control,” or “not being disciplined enough.” But for millions of men, the real issue is something far deeper—and far more common—than they realize. In this powerful and eye-opening episode, I sit down with Dr. Doug Carpenter, licensed psychologist and author of the groundbreaking book Secret Shame, to uncover the hidden link between male sexual abuse, childhood sexual trauma, shame, and porn addiction. What Doug reveals in ...
Do you ever feel like your mind just won’t stop racing? Like you’re constantly doing—working, scrolling, thinking, striving—but rarely being present? If you’ve ever felt trapped in busyness, anxiety, or mental chaos, this episode might be one of the most important you’ll ever hear. In this solo episode, I explore one of the most overlooked truths about porn addiction recovery: your addiction isn’t just about sexual compulsion—it’s about disconnection. A restless, overstimulated brain craves r...
What if the real reason you can’t stop watching porn… isn’t porn itself? In this episode of the No More Desire Podcast, I dive deep into the hidden connection between tech addiction, dopamine, and porn addiction recovery — and why constant distraction may be the true enemy of your freedom. We live in a world built to hijack your attention. From smartphones and social media to the endless scroll of entertainment, every digital interaction trains your brain for instant gratification. Over time,...
When I first began my recovery journey, I believed the answer to ending porn addiction was more control — more willpower, more discipline, more “try harder.” But the truth is, that mindset only deepened my shame and made me fight harder against myself. In this episode, I sit down with Jeremy Lipkowitz — a former Buddhist monk, mindfulness teacher, and founder of The Unhooked Academy — to explore a radically different path to freedom from porn addiction. We dive deep into the power of mindfuln...
