Welcome back fellow Stoics ⚔️
In today’s AMA I discuss a question I had from a Stoic Handbook reader on “pornography addiction.”
This is a very important and nuanced topic that I try my best to offer guidance on.
I consider pornography addiction to be a “continuum addiction,” meaning there are no clear boundaries around it. This makes it extra problematic compared to more binary-type addictions.
This episode will be useful to listeners who have any kind compulsive behaviour.
