One of the biggest lies men believe is that pornography doesn’t hurt anyone. Psychologist and sex addiction expert Dr. Doug Weiss reveals how destructive that belief really is and how porn impacts marriages and families.

From decades of counseling, he's seen how wives silently suffer the consequences of their husbands’ sexual behaviors. From plummeting self-esteem to depression and even weight gain, the fallout of porn addiction cuts deeply into a woman’s identity, confidence, and well-being — whether or not she even knows about the problem. When a man turns to porn, his wife always pays a price.

But it doesn’t stop with wives. Research from Dr. Weiss’s book "Beyond the Bedroom" reveals how children of sex addicts carry scars into adulthood. The environment of secrecy and betrayal shapes their hearts and minds for years to come. They end up struggling with depression, low self-esteem, spiritual brokenness, and in many cases, becoming addicts themselves.

If you’ve believed porn is a private issue, this message will challenge that illusion and show what’s truly at stake. Don't let porn hurt the people you love most. Take the next step toward healing for both you and your family. Freedom is possible, and it starts with honesty.
