Lust, Status, and Affirmation (video)

Coach Mark Queppet explains that a porn-trained brain feels entitled to “bang every attractive potential mate it sees.” Therefore, its owner-operator feels like they have lost status when they give up porn and enter an exclusive relationship.

Queppet explains that the desire for status is not unhealthy in itself, but that it needs to be reoriented toward other goals and desired accomplishments. Once this shift occurs, the brain stops sulking when it can’t have its preferred status symbols (“more mates than Genghis Khan”).

Intriguing video, which some recovering porn users will find enlightening.
