Episode notes
Early Sexualization Of Loneliness
- Jonathan Hernandez learned to process loneliness with masturbation as a child and later discovered pornography at 11.
- He describes porn as a false remedy that made him feel less alone but ultimately hijacked his brain.
Porn Acts As A Fast Emotional Brake
- Porn and masturbation act as a fast regulator by triggering dopamine and short-circuiting emotion processing.
- That quick regulation makes them an appealing but problematic antidote to unprocessed feelings.
Name Emotions To Process Them
- Say your emotions out loud to reconnect the limbic system to the prefrontal cortex and make sense of them.
- Naming feelings helps process them in the body and prevents impulsive sexual coping.
