In this episode of the Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD, explores the effects of porn addiction with a man in his twenties who became addicted in fourth grade. In a candid and revealing discussion, this anonymous guest shares the impact on his intimate relationships in adulthood. The conversation delves into the complexities of porn’s influence, highlighting initial exposure at a young age, his subsequent struggle with addiction, and the profound impact it has had on his real-life experiences with women. This conversation is remarkable because it addresses the hidden challenges many face privately, while evoking the intersection of addiction, intimacy, and personal growth. In a society where pornography is both pervasive and shrouded in secrecy and shame, this episode sheds light on its significant impact. Dr. Alexandra and her guest emphasize the importance of genuine connection and open communication for fulfillment in intimate relationships.

Exposure to pornography at a young age is complicated and profoundly affects perceptions of women, intimacy and relationships.
Changes in a sexual relationship over time are natural; communication is key to adapting and maintaining intimacy.
