In this episode of the Crazy Stupid Lust podcast, host Frankie dives deep into a tough question: Is pornography making us lonely? Drawing from a recent 2024 study by the Institute for Family Studies, Frankie explores how daily porn use is linked to feelings of depression, hopelessness, and disconnection among young adults.

We unpack the science behind dopamine—the brain’s feel-good chemical—and how flooding your brain with artificial dopamine hits from porn dulls your ability to find joy in real life. Porn creates an illusion of intimacy but ultimately leaves you feeling empty, stuck in a cycle of craving and crash.

Frankie shares personal experiences, relatable analogies, and real talk about how porn messes with your brain, your motivation, and even your hobbies. But this episode isn’t just about the problem—it’s about breaking free. Frankie offers simple, actionable insights to help you escape the loneliness loop and start reclaiming connection, meaning, and lasting joy.

If you’ve been struggling with porn and feeling stuck or isolated, this episode is for you. Let’s get real, get informed, and take the next step toward a life where porn no longer holds you back.
