The honest audit — frequency, escalation, the role it plays. The 30-day reset and what to expect (sleep, mood, libido, the "flatline"). The trigger map — tech, emotional, situational. The substitution problem. If partnered, the conversation about what you''ve been doing alone. The 90-day verdict and when to escalate to a therapist. Behavioural framing, no moralising. Treats it as an attention-and-dopamine problem, not a sin.

§ 03 - The modules

6 sessions, in order.

Begin
  1. 01

    The honest audit

    Frequency, escalation patterns, what role it actually plays. The number, plus the question underneath: what is it doing for you?

    5 min→
  2. 02

    The 30-day reset

    Week-by-week reality. Sleep, mood, libido, the "flatline" most men hit at week three.

    6 min→
  3. 03

    The trigger map

    Tech architecture (private window, the bookmark, 11pm scroll). Emotional triggers (boredom, stress, loneliness). Time-of-day patterns.

    6 min→
  4. 04

    The substitution problem

    The dopamine gap is the actual problem. What fills it. Real intimacy, exercise, sleep, novelty. What doesn't.

    5 min→
  5. 05

    If partnered, the conversation

    When to tell her, when not to, what's yours alone, what becomes hers when it touches the relationship.

    6 min→
  6. 06

    The 90-day verdict

    What good looks like. When to call DIY a win. When to find a therapist. When the underlying problem is anxiety, depression or trauma, not porn.
