In a candid and revealing discussion, this anonymous guest shares the impact on his intimate relationships in adulthood. The conversation delves into the complexities of porn’s influence, highlighting initial exposure at a young age, his subsequent struggle with addiction, and the profound impact it has had on his real-life experiences with women.
