Summary
Do you feel shame about your sexual thoughts or desires while trying to quit pornography? In this episode, I explore why sexual shame often causes more harm than pornography itself and how you can move past it to quit porn in a sex-positive, shame-free way.
You’ll learn how to separate natural sexual feelings from moral judgment, recognize that your thoughts do not define your worth, and approach your sexuality with curiosity instead of condemnation. This episode will help you reduce sexual shame and create a healthier, more empowered relationship with your sexual self as you work to quit pornography.
