Why are so many men today feeling empty, disconnected, and under constant pressure to perform?

In this episode of Desirables, Bryan shares parts of his own story and opens a wider conversation about what many men are quietly carrying. From porn and intimacy struggles to expectations around success, masculinity, and identity, this episode looks at what happens when men stop pretending they are fine.

They talk about how shame and silence create distance in relationships, why coping mechanisms like porn or achievement can feel safer than real connection, and what actually helps men come back into their bodies and their relationships.

They touch on

✅ How porn can quietly affect intimacy, confidence, and desire

✅ Why many men retreat into porn, work, or achievement when connection feels unsafe

✅ The silence and stigma that keep men from talking about their struggles

✅ Why quitting porn is less about willpower and more about accountability and support

✅ Unrealistic expectations shaped by porn, social media, and success culture

✅ Masculinity myths that keep men stuck in shame and isolation

✅ Why men need permission to be imperfect and supported by other men

✅ How vulnerability and community change the way men show up in life and love

This episode is an invitation to see men with more honesty, depth, and compassion and to imagine healthier ways we can support love, purpose, and connection.
