15: Matt Fradd: Busting Porn Myths

Matt Fradd knows at least 129 different ways to talk about why pornography is immoral, bad for relationships, and great training for emotional immaturity. The “Australian by birth, Catholic by choice” author and speaker sat down with me to talk about ways you can discuss the porn problem with those who don’t think it’s a problem – without (this is key) relying on religious or faith-based resources. Matt is the executive director of Integrity Restored, an apostolate providing all manner of resources for porn addicts and their partners. He can also be found blogging at mattfradd.com. His latest book is The Porn Myth: The Reality Behind the Fantasy of Pornography. There is a way out, and it starts with understanding the problem itself. Something you should know: 100% of Matt’s royalties are being donated to Children of the Immaculate Heart (www.childrenoftheimmaculatheart.org) a San Diego-based apostolate dedicated to rescuing and restoring victims of sex trafficking.   BOOKS RECOMMENDED IN THIS EPISODE The Porn Myth: The Reality Behind the Fantasy of Pornography by Matt Fradd Delivered: True Stories of Men and Women Who Turned from Porn to Purity Edited by Matthew Fradd Restored: True Stores of Love and Trust After Porn Edited by Matthew and Cameron Fradd  Good Pictures, Bad Pictures: Porn-Proofing Today’s Young Kids  by Kristen Jenson and Dr. Gail Poyner Integrity Restored, Helping Catholic Families Win the Battle Against Pornography by Dr. Peter Kleponis, PhD   Don’t forget to subscribe to the show to get automatic updates.
