Episode #142: How Sex Addiction Leads to UNIMAGINABLE Crimes - Dr. Trish Leigh

Escalation into Dehumanization
The progressive escalation of pornography consumption can lead individuals to view increasingly extreme and morally questionable content, desensitizing them and blurring the lines between fantasy and reality. This escalation fosters a 'narcissistic bubble,' where individuals see themselves as the center of their sexual universe, dehumanizing others and diminishing empathy. As emotional intelligence declines with increasing narcissism, self-awareness suffers, enabling individuals to perceive those around them merely as objects for pleasure. This dynamic becomes especially dangerous when combined with power differentials, allowing those in positions of authority to manipulate and exploit others, leading to severe consequences and unimaginable crimes. Individuals may find themselves questioning their actions, confronting boundaries they've crossed, and struggling with their moral compass as dopamine drive escalates their needs and desires.
