There is an insidious monster lurking in the bedrooms and even deeper—in the minds and hearts—of millions of people today: pornography. And pornography is destroying relationships and the healthy identity of men and women alike. In just a moment, you and I are going to be joined by relationship counselors, Dave and Connie Bauer, and together, we are going to pull back the curtain on this destructive addiction in order to bring freedom to people who find themselves trapped.
In this episode, you’ll discover…
- Why “virtual relationships” threaten the health of real romantic relationships.
- Why insecurity and rejection contribute to the desire to return to pornography as a means to dull internal pain.
- Why pornography becomes a substitution for true emotional intimacy.
- Why the need for control after being controlled plays into the habitual return to pornography.
- Why pornography isn’t just a “man’s” issue anymore.
- Why pornography dulls our senses and arrests our ability to have real meaningful relationships.
- Why the drive for pornography has less to do with sex than one might suppose.
