Most men think they're addicted to porn because of lust.
But what if porn addiction has almost nothing to do with sex at all?
In this powerful episode of The Rebuilt Man, Coach Frank Rich breaks down the real root behind compulsive porn use: a dysregulated nervous system.
Because for many men, porn isn't about pleasure…
It's about escape.
Escape from stress. Pressure. Loneliness. Anxiety. Emotional overwhelm. The inability to feel peace without stimulation.
In this episode, Frank explains how porn rewires the brain and conditions the nervous system to depend on dopamine for relief — leaving men trapped in cycles of relapse, shame, overstimulation, and emotional disconnection.
More importantly…
He walks through the 7 powerful steps to begin calming the nervous system, regulating the body and mind, and creating REAL freedom from porn addiction.
