274. Physiology vs Morality: Reframing Your Urges and Shame
Description
Do you feel guilty just for having sexual urges? In this episode, I dive into the important distinction between physiology and morality and how understanding this difference can help you overcome the shame surrounding your urges to view pornography.
I explain that your sexual urges are completely natural and a normal part of being human. The problem arises when we label these physiological responses as “wrong” or “immoral.” Just like hunger or a craving for sugar, sexual urges are simply a natural bodily response. Morality comes in when we decide how we respond to those urges. By looking at your urges with neutrality, instead of guilt, you can free yourself from the cycle of shame and build healthier habits in your journey to quit pornography.
