The Hidden Cost: How Porn Impacts Attraction, Intimacy, and Relationships

In this candid men’s group discussion, we’ll explore the often-overlooked effects pornography has on relationships, sexual satisfaction, and emotional connection. While porn is more accessible than ever, its long-term impact on real-life intimacy is profound—affecting confidence, arousal patterns, emotional presence, and the ability to bond deeply with a partner.

We’ll dive into topics like:
• How porn alters brain chemistry and distorts expectations
• Why it can quietly erode desire and connection in long-term relationships
• The link between porn use and reduced sexual performance or satisfaction
• How to rebuild healthy arousal and authentic intimacy

Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or ready for change, this discussion is a chance to reflect openly and judgment-free. Come join other men in exploring the real cost—and the path to reclaiming deeper, more fulfilling relationships.

Join us every Wednesday at 6:00 PM for our weekly Men's Group meeting! This is an opportunity to connect with like-minded men and engage in conversations about topics that are important to us.

During the first hour of the meeting, we'll break into small groups to check-in with each other. This is a chance to share what's been going on in your life and get support from your fellow group members. We believe in creating a safe and supportive environment where everyone can feel comfortable sharing.

For the second half of the meeting, we'll have a topic of discussion that focuses on masculinity, success, relationships, dating, health, finance and what it takes to be an integrated man in todays world. We encourage all members to participate and share their thoughts and experiences.

If it's your first time attending, don't worry! Just introduce yourself and tell us a bit about yourself and what brings you to the group.

We have a few guidelines to ensure that everyone has a positive experience. Please silence your phone to respect others during check-ins or when someone is presenting. Additionally, we ask that you order food or drink from the club to compensate for our use of the space.

Feel free to come early and socialize before the meeting. Most weeks, a few guys are there by 5:30. We usually meet in the south side, but depending on circumstances, we may be in a different part of the club.

We look forward to seeing you there and building a supportive community of men!
