At our recent YouthSTAR Parent Night, I shared a clip from this excellent video (below), teaching parents about the impact of pornography on the teenage brain. This short documentary includes some valuable information regarding the neuroscience of pornography addiction (among other relevant topics, such a Porn-Induced Erectile Dysfunction). It is my hope that this information would help those who are struggling understand the severity of porn addiction, seek the help they need, and experience freedom and healing.
Also, for those interested, I have a presentation prepared for either parent or teen audiences and have presented to many on the harms of pornography use and protections that can be put into place. I hope to continue sharing this important information in various venues. Please email me if you are interested in attending or hosting a future presentation (forest@roubicekandthacker.com)
*Please note that some information in the above video may be triggering for some, so viewer discretion is advised. The neuroscience section is from 9:55 to 13:46.
