It’s something many people struggle with but few feel safe enough to talk about. My guest today, Jeremy Lipkowitz, is helping to change that. Once a high-achieving academic with a hidden addiction, Jeremy’s journey from compulsive porn use to Buddhist monk, mindfulness coach, and men's mental health advocate is nothing short of remarkable.</p><p><br></p><p>In this conversation, he opens up about the emotional roots of his addiction, the deep shame it carried, and the steps he took to break free. We explore how porn hijacks the brain, how it affects intimacy and relationships, and why so many are silently struggling in a culture that’s saturated with sexual content but still terrified to talk about it.</p><p><br></p><p>If you’re struggling, consider therapy with our paid partner.
