How does viewing pornography impact the brain? Today we finish our week-long podcast series: “Your Brain on Porn.”

Today Dr. Bill Struthers talks about how our cultural beliefs about masculinity shape the way our brains work and our capacity to resist the temptations of lust.

Dr. Struthers is an associate professor of Psychology at Wheaton College. He is the author of Wired For Intimacy: How Pornography Hijacks the Male Brain.

Music for today’s podcast is “DWYL” by Phil Joel
