Interview by Damian Andrews of SHAIR.care: What it means to be a man (4)

Men are “Wild at heart”. The book (by that title) by John Eldredge – maybe is on to something. (Worth a read guys - and gals).

Where there are some things that were not done “good enough” during childhood development,  the brain then sets about trying to fill the deficits. Sometimes with coping strategies, such that Sex, Porn and/or Love Compulsive activities enter the mix, after the game console or sports, ain’t doing it well enough. 

Sex/Porn/Love Addiction is always about self-soothing; escape; to manage emotions - whatever those emotions may be.
