The Dark Truth About Porn Addiction with Vijay Jr. Maharaj EP 18

In today’s episode of Dawn’s Dirt, we’re diving headfirst into a topic most people would rather tiptoe around—porn and its impact on men, relationships, and society as a whole. I sit down with VJ Maharaj, an online coach helping men reclaim their lives from the grips of porn addiction and rediscover real, meaningful connection. We don’t hold back in this conversation—VJ shares his personal story, the shocking ways porn rewires the brain, and why he believes it’s an epidemic stealing men’s vitality. 

As someone who knows firsthand how porn can destroy a marriage, this topic hits home for me, and I know it does for so many others. We break down the hidden consequences of excessive porn use, how it’s robbing relationships of true intimacy, and why men are struggling to connect with real women. This is one of the rawest, most important conversations I’ve had on Dawn’s Dirt, and I promise—it’s one you can’t afford to miss.
