In this episode of Unhooked, I sit down with Melinda Tankard Reist, a journalist and author of the book 'He Chose Porn Over Me.' We explore the devastating effects of pornography on women, relationships, and society. Melinda shares insights from her book on how women are affected by their partners' porn addiction, including emotional and physical health impacts. Our discussion also highlights the broader societal consequences, such as an increase in sexual harassment in schools and a rise in youth sex offenders. Despite the overwhelming challenges, Melinda calls for collective action to address these issues and support affected individuals.
