An Expose on the Destructive Nature of Porn with Kristen A. Jenson, MA | EP 103

Here's a topic that has not been covered on this show, but I want to cover it because it's so important to the health of our own minds and to the world around us.

The amount spent on pornography in just the United States is staggering, and no one is immune from the risk. It's more accessible than ever before, and the barriers of shame that once existed have been lifted.

Perhaps the most vulnerable to the dangers of porn are the children, who simply have not developed morally to even understand what addiction is, let alone take action once it has occurred.

Kristen Jenson has provided an incredibly valuable service with two easy-to-read books that describe the nature of porn, how to recognize it, and how to make a plan of action on how to avoid its destructive nature and enjoy sex as we were created to!

Here's a bit of what you'll hear in today's episode:
