Pornography addiction is fascinating because it's very different to alcohol and social media and sugar because it's very private. And when you say, for example, get really into alcohol and you become an alcoholic, or maybe you just slightly over drink, it becomes very apparent to your family and your friends that you're drinking a lot.

whether you're going out and partying a lot, or like every time you socialize, you're always requiring wine and beer in order to have a good time. The same happens with the phone, like you're always engaging with it. The same happens with sugar. Pornography is like this secret addiction that society has.

We're obviously looking with the Dose Lab more at what is it actually doing to your experience of life and your motivation and your dopamine levels. And for me, I grew up as someone that started engaging in porn. I was like 13, 14.
