Dealing with cravings for pornography is a significant challenge and frequently overwhelming experience for many men, especially those in the early stages of their careers. Traditional advice often suggests fighting or fleeing these cravings, but this approach can be counterproductive.

But as I delved deeper into my own experience, I came to a groundbreaking realization: porn addiction is not just about me, it's about us – it's an interpersonal issue.
