Summary
Porn Addiction Pandemic
by Joshua Shea
------------------
The book, Fifty Shades of Grey, is not just a bestseller, it's one of the top 100 best sellers in history - and it's not because it's well written (it's not). 13% of all websites are adult sites, and 30% of all data transferred online is x-rated.
Everyone likes to complain about the "big tech" influence of Facebook and Twitter, but we deliberately avoid the tube-sites that are responsible for nearly a third of all online activity.
Porn addiction is shrouded in so much guilt and shame so people often lose their jobs and their relationships as a result. On this week's podcast, we'll look at this issue head one, and explore some possible solutions.
Listen and learn:
- How abstinence / prohibition is impossible
- How the complexity of human sexuality manifest
- Why the shame and guilt around p addiction make it harder to address
- The need for open and honest dialogue with addicts and non-addicts alike

| 0:00.0 | The book 50 Shades of Grey is not just the best seller, it's one of the best selling books |
| 0:07.9 | of all time, it's in the top 100 books ever. If you look at the internet, 13% of every |
| 0:14.6 | website ever anywhere is an adult website, and 30% of all data transfer online is pornographic |
| 0:21.0 | material. People talk about websites like Twitter or Facebook being large, |
| 0:26.0 | they're nothing in comparison to the adult entertainment industry online, and with that has |
| 0:31.5 | brought a whole host of problems, not the least of which is addiction and destructive behavior. |
| 0:37.3 | Of course most of this is geared towards men, but it's also a problem among women and among women |
| 0:42.9 | is the fastest growing addiction group in the world. You've probably heard of video game addiction |
| 0:47.7 | and clearly you know about pornographic addiction, but nobody really wants to talk about it |
| 0:52.8 | because it's embarrassing, it's shameful, it's often wrapped up in moral and ethical concerns, |
| 0:59.3 | which in some cases are totally valid. There's nothing but problems with these industries, |
| 1:04.4 | but at the same time it's a conversation that needs to be had because every single person walking |
| 1:08.9 | around with a phone in their head is walking around with 24-7 access to the largest library |
| 1:15.5 | of free pornographic material ever produced in human history. What do we do with that? How do we |
| 1:20.1 | control that? How do we control something that taps into our basic primordial nature? On this week's |
| 1:25.5 | podcast we will dive deep into it. Welcome to the Lucas Rockwood show on the founder of Yoga Body, |

| 1:34.0 | but first and foremost I am a student, I like to learn things, so I go into the world and find people |
| 1:39.1 | doing research, educators, yoga teachers, meditators, I try to bring their best work to you here |
| 1:44.5 | on the show, so hopefully we can all live more inspired lives. Let's see how it goes. If you have |
