You think you’re hiding it. But they know. And your mom and wife love you anyway—for who you really are. Your true self.
Porn use pulls you away from that self. It doesn't just entertain; it subtly reshapes you, fostering a sense of disconnection, distance, and distraction that pulls you away from your true self. What might feel like a solitary habit casts a wide net, impacting the very fabric of your life: the intimacy in your relationships, the vitality of your energy, your capacity for genuine connection, the stability of your mental state, and ultimately, the trajectory of your future.
