0:00.0	Let's talk a little bit about how you think porn impacts a man's libido, a man's ability to pick up women and how porn might impact a man's ability to get what he wants in the bedroom.
0:21.1	Because I've heard you talk about this a few times.
0:23.1	I was actually very surprised with what you said.
0:25.2	And I was like, yes, okay, I like this.
0:27.5	So how do you think porn impacts these different areas of a man's life?

1:19.0	age when they're teenagers and their brains are still developing. That is a can of worms that
1:24.6	we've opened and we have no idea what the long-term ramifications
1:27.8	are going to be. We're starting to see it because you can see graphs of the advent of websites
1:34.3	like Pornhub and red tube and X videos, these kind of what we call tube sites. That's what we
