The Impact of Porn on Young Brains (Scary Truth)
In this episode, Dr. Morgentaler and Dr. Brandon talk about how early exposure to porn is shaping young people’s views on sex, causing confusion, unrealistic expectations, and lasting effects on their brains and relationships. 00:24 – Early Exposure to Porn and Its Effects Dr. Brandon says most kids see porn around age 12, which can shape how they think about sex for years. 02:47 – Research Insights and Real-World Implications Dr. Morgentaler and Dr. Brandon share studies showing many college women were choked during sex and link this trend to lessons learned from porn. 13:20 – Adolescent Brain and Porn Exposure Dr. Brandon explains that teen brains rewire fast, so watching porn early can lock in what turns them on. 14:49 – Impact of Porn on Sexual Expectations Dr. Morgentaler notes that porn can give young men unreal ideas about body size and how quickly sex should start. 20:10 – Parental Guidance and Modern Challenges Dr. Brandon urges parents to talk early and often about porn, because filters help but kids still see it outside the home.

The Science Behind Why People CRAVE Sex Tech (From a Sex Therapist)
In this episode, Dr. Brandon talks about how sex tech hijacks our natural instincts by acting as a "supernormal stimulus"—something manmade that satisfies primal urges even more powerfully than nature ever could—and why it's especially compelling for men. 00:04 – Understanding Supernormal Stimuli Dr. Brandon explains that sex tech grabs our attention because it’s made to feel even more exciting than what’s natural. 00:42 – Bird Experiments and Supernormal Stimuli She tells a story about birds choosing fake mates or eggs that looked more extreme, showing how easy it is to trick instincts. 02:25 – Food as Supernormal Stimuli She says apple pie is more tempting than a regular apple, just like manmade things can feel stronger than nature. 03:50 – Sex Tech as Supernormal Stimuli Dr. Brandon says sex tech, like VR porn or toys, feels more powerful than real-life stuff, which is why people want it so much. 05:06 – Gender Differences in Sex Tech She explains how men and women react differently to sex tech, like how they act at strip clubs, because of deep instincts. 07:19 – Conclusion and Final Thoughts Dr. Brandon reminds us to enjoy sex tech wisely and not let it take the place of real connection with others.

In this episode, Dr. Morgentaler and Dr. Brandon talk about why fewer people are getting into relationships, touching on politics, independence, and the rise of AI as a substitute for real connection. 01:34 – The Impact of Political Differences on Relationships Dating today feels harder because politics are turning potential partners into enemies before we even get to know them. 09:52 – AI and the Future of Relationships With AI chatbots offering comfort on demand, more people are turning to screens instead of real human connection—and it’s changing everything. 13:17 – The Importance of Human Connection Even though relationships take work, nothing replaces the emotional, physical, and soul-level support that comes from being truly seen by another person. 14:51 – Combating Loneliness and Depression The more we isolate, the more we spiral—loneliness feeds depression, and the only real way out is reaching out to someone who cares. 20:48 – Balancing Masculinity and Femininity in Relationships For relationships to feel alive and exciting, we need to embrace our differences—strength, softness, backbone, and tenderness all have a place.

The Truth About Sex Drive in Long-Term Relationships (From a Sex Therapist)
In this episode, Dr. Brandon discusses why men tend to have a higher sex drive than women in long-term relationships—and how biology, emotional patterns, and relationship dynamics all play a role. 00:41 Research and Misconceptions Dr. Brandon breaks down how common beliefs about equal sex drives aren't backed by actual research. 01:56 Impact of Relationship Duration She explains how women’s sex drive often drops in long-term relationships, even if it was high early on. 04:36 Dual Control Model of Sexual Desire The model shows how desire depends on a balance between what turns someone on and what shuts them down. 05:49 Inhibitory and Excitatory Factors Women tend to have more things that reduce desire and fewer that boost it—especially over time. 11:37 Understanding and Improving Intimacy Dr. Brandon emphasizes that couples aren’t stuck—understanding these dynamics can help rebuild connection.
