Fireside Chats, Episode 92: Porn Addiction (Patreon)

Please Note: As announced on Twitter, Fireside Chats and Sacred Symbols are going up out of order this week, something we didn't anticipate having to do (hence the late notice). Chris recently traveled to Canada to visit some friends, and ran into some flight-related issues on his way back to Los Angeles. This thrust our usual recording and editing plans into disarray. As a result, we've had to delay recording of Episode 49 of Sacred Symbols from June 3rd to June 4th, and delay its publishing from June 4th to June 5th. Our schedule will return to normal next week (plus, you're gonna get a bonus...), and -- per usual -- any anticipated publishing alterations will continue to be announced ahead of time.

In the meantime, I apologize sincerely for the inconvenience, and will see you for Sacred Symbols on Wednesday, June 5th! <3 -Colin

People can find themselves addicted to almost anything, whether it's to alcohol or to benzos, to shopping or to gaming, to this or to that. But what happens when your chronic overindulgence happens to align with one of society's biggest taboos, something virtually every adult enjoys (whether regularly or occasionally), yet rarely speaks about earnestly? In short: What happens when you can stop watching pornography? Today's guest -- Matt Plaster -- speaks honestly about his addiction to porn, when and how it started, how it evolved and became worse over time, and how he ultimately got a hold of what ailed him. What do his family and friends think? How has it affect his education and his professional life? And how did his addiction alter previous relationships? We work through all of that (and more!) in what is undoubtedly one of the most flatout candid Fireside Chats yet recorded.
