We don't really have the research for that...I don't think that the research culture and the public in general is really looking at that as much as you, and I see it.
Imagine growing up in a world where pornography is just a click away. In this episode of The Addicted Mind Podcast, host Duane Osterlind sits down with Robert Weiss, a seasoned expert on digital-age intimacy and relationships. Weiss offers a refreshing perspective on how our digital world affects intimacy, relationships, and the rising issue of porn addiction. With over 25 years of experience, Weiss has observed significant shifts in how easily accessible pornography has become.
Gone are the days when people had to sneak into shady stores for adult magazines. Now, the internet provides instant, free access to explicit content, posing new challenges for today's adolescents and adults alike. Weiss draws interesting parallels between porn addiction and gambling addiction. Both offer unlimited material and anonymity, making it easier for individuals to get hooked. But what makes this episode stand out is Weiss's non-alarmist approach.
Instead of fear-mongering, he encourages listeners to stay informed and aware of these changes. He also touches on the importance of vulnerability and connection in recovery. Many turn to technology to cope with feelings of isolation and anxiety, but ultimately, meaningful human connections are what people crave. Weiss emphasizes that understanding these dynamics is crucial for anyone struggling with addiction or trying to support someone who is.
If you're curious about how technology is reshaping our intimate lives and want practical advice on navigating these changes, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to hear Weiss's valuable insights and learn how to foster healthier relationships in our digital age.
