63 | Got Porn Brain? What It Is and How It Affects You and Your Marriage

It wasn’t until I stopped using pornography altogether and the fog lifted that I learned just how much effect it had had on my brain. The further I got away from the porn and the more days of sobriety I achieved, I found that I was able to think more clearly and process the difficult truth of my sex-addiction. Understanding porn’s effect on my brain helped to explain so many of my actions, or lack thereof, before I was finally discovered and came out of the shadows.

Here are just 4 shocking statistics about pornography use around the world:

28,258 users are watching pornography every second.
$3,075.64 is spent on porn every second on the Internet.
88% of scenes in porn films contain acts of physical aggression, and
49% of scenes contain verbal aggression.

Today on our show, we will talk about the reality of porn-brain and the effect continual use of pornography has on our cognitive abilities, reasoning, and relationships.

So, buckle up, folks! We're pulling back the curtain on the damaging effects of watching porn - the things that many people might not know or just don't want to talk about. So, grab your favorite drink and let's get started!

We pray this blesses you,

Johnny and Emily
