Why Porn Is an Intimacy Disorder (Not Just a Sex Problem), Sathiya Sam

What if pornography isn't really about sex at all, but about the search for connection? In this episode, I sit down with recovery coach and author Sathiya Sam to explore the deeper roots of porn addiction, the role of shame, identity and intimacy, and why so many men feel disconnected in today's digital world.

We also discuss how AI, OnlyFans and emerging technology are reshaping relationships, and what men can do to build genuine connection and lasting freedom. Whether you're struggling yourself or simply trying to better understand the modern challenges men face, this conversation offers practical insights and hope.
