Kristen explains the brain science behind pornography addiction and how it warps the mind. She also explains how it can lead to relationship problems and even erectile dysfunction. This is a scary topic, but it's up to us parents to start the conversation as early as possible before kids get the wrong ideas about sex and intimacy from the internet. Save this episode!
