My TED Talk Is Coming Soon, Join Live!
Giving a TED Talk is not as simple as it seems. Or, at least, how simple is appeared to me. I applied nearly a year ago, and I believe it was April when I was officially chosen. I still had to wait months to announce it. That was tough. I thought I’d just write a…
Only 12 Steps to My Sober Paradise?
I do not actively attend meetings of 12 Steps groups for either of my addictions at the moment. My evolution in recovery is one that they are not necessary for me anymore. But for those who ask, here’s my story/experience with them. I believe some people are wired to take to programs like Alcoholics Anonymous…
Me on Twitter: Another Sign 2020 is Off the Rails
If you stare at the Twitter logo long enough, it ceases to look like anything. I’m serious. I was looking at a black version of the logo and it began to look like a tribal logo to me. I’ve become one of the tweetable today, launching my Twitter page in support of my pornography addiction…

Explaining the Feeling of Addiction
A challenge in talking to the loved ones of porn addicts is that they can’t understand the addict mind. They don’t share it. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to both quickly explain how deeply depraved and deceitful – yet with little remorse – an addict (really of any substance or behavior) can…
Howdy Friends, Long Time No Talk
It’s been about three weeks since I created an entry. My life has been crazy busy and this is the time of year where it seems like a lot of transitions make place. Heck, just adjusting to the new late night TV schedule is throwing me off. They really expect me to watch Schitt’s Creek…
Time to Evolve into the Next Chapter of this Journey
At the moment, I’m taking a break from writing the intro and conclusion of my TED Talk. Despite the fact I don’t give it until December, there is a lot that goes into the preparation. For the first time in a long time, I’m nervous about something, which is probably good. If the speech is…

Guest Post: Larry Yff talks drug & porn addiction, labels and Christianity saving him
Note from Josh: I’ve been on Larry Yff’s podcast “White, Confused, Black and Christian” a couple times now and we get along very well. I hope you’ll visit the interviews page and check some of the out. Larry wrote a great first-person article about being a Christian addict that he was nice enough to let…
Porn Addiction Survey Results Are In
In late July and early August, I launched a non-scientific survey to help me better target the TEDx Talk I’ll be giving in early December about pornography addiction. It was designed to capture the beliefs of a wide group of people and best understand to give my presentation. I thought I’d get about 50 responses.…
My First Online Pornography Addiction Education Course Geared Toward Partners is Now Available!!!
I am very psyched to say that after many weeks and probably nearly 100 hours of work, my first online pornography education course is available through Udemy. It’s called “Pornography Addiction Education for Partners” and for the next THREE Days (Sept. 3 to Sept 6, 2020) it is available for FREE. After that, it goes…
A New Project, An Empty Studio and A Call for Social Media Help
This is just going to be one of those stream-of-consciousness pieces that I don’t really advertise anywhere and most people who read it will be regulars or at least WordPress users who found me in the Reader. I tend to not promote the rambling posts anymore. I’m writing this today because I’m avoiding work. For…

Pornography Addiction may no longer be limited to consumers in an OnlyFans world
If you’re under 33 years old – or a regular reader of this website – you’re well aware of OnlyFans and the tentacle-like reach it has with the young adults of the English-speaking world. If you’re over 33 years old, and don’t read this website, odds are you’ve still never heard of the site. In…

Guest Post: There’s More on the Other Side of the Camera than Sex
By Eddie Capparucci, LPC, C-CSAS, CPCS “I have something I need to tell you,” said Daryl, a 32-year-old client who has been watching pornography since he was 13 and recently lost his job after being caught viewing it on his company phone. “The reason I have struggled to stop watching porn is because I like it. I’m…

A Different Kind of Addiction We May Start to See on the Rise
When I started writing my latest book, the intention was to look at how recovering porn addicts were faring during the COVID-19 pandemic. Between the mandatory stay-at-home orders most people in the world faced and pornography sites offering deals to new users, I assumed it would be a difficult time for many addicts, and my…

My Biggest Announcement: I’m Giving A TEDx Talk!
While I did let the cat out of the bag a little early on Friday afternoon on my LinkedIn page (which is why you should all follow me there, too — and don’t worry, you can’t follow me anywhere else because I’m not anywhere else), it is finally time to announce what I’ve been hinting…

A review of my book from Vincent Ehindero
There was the porn. Then the pandemic came, and it became the Porn Pandemic. And Pornography is the addiction nobody will talk about. But fortunately, there are few amazing people like Joshua Shea, who not only want to talk about it, but also want to tackle the issue from the roots and enlighten the present […]…
