My name is Garrett Johnson, and you're listening to Consider Before Consuming, a podcast by Fight the New Drug.

And in case you're new here, Fight the New Drug is a non-religious and non-legislative organization that exists to provide individuals the opportunity to make an informed decision regarding pornography by raising awareness on its harmful effects using only

science, facts, and personal accounts.

We want these conversations to be educational, uplifting, and hopeful.

As we sit down with experts, influencers, activists, and people with personal accounts,

we cover a wide variety of topics that may be triggering to some.

You can refer to the episode notes for a specific trigger warning. Listener discretion is advised.

Today's episode is with Lynn. Lynn is in her 20s and grew up in Texas. Her first time exposure

to porn was at the age of 8, but her porn consumption didn't escalate until she was 18.

During this episode, Lynn talks about how her porn consumption negatively impacted her and her relationships,

and what she did to finally quit for good.

With that being said, let's jump into the conversation.

We hope you enjoy this episode of Consider Before Consuming.

That was a quick jump on.

After I sent the email, I feel like you jumped on like 16 seconds later.
