Episode 174: Fantasy vs Desire, Intrusive Thoughts, and Porn Literacy

May 13, 20242 min read

Welcome to another snippet from our Healthy Sexuality milestone. This week’s topics are short and sweet but hugely important when it comes to learning how to use your sexuality for good.

The realm of sexuality can sometimes be erotic, strange, or even dark, and that’s okay. If you’ve spent your life demonizing or rejecting your sexuality, you’ve probably found it extremely challenging to cut back on or completely cut out viewing pornography, and the answer here is to start accepting and loving your sexuality instead.

Join me this week to learn how understanding the differences between fantasy, desire, and choice is the secret to using your sexuality for good. I’m showing you the importance of knowing what is and isn’t real in porn, what to do if you’re distressed by intrusive sexual thoughts, and how to integrate your sexuality into your whole human experience.
