In this episode my guest Shannon Ethridge shares her thoughts on why men and women have sexual fantasies. She points out what some would consider controversial on the issue of pornography, homosexuality, and other sexual practices. Shannon was very real in this episode as she talked about her own sexual promi
scuity during her teen years and why. You will hear her passion for this subject matter and her desire to help people with this area of their life. Be warned: your views on sexual fantasy addiction will be challenged.

Really enjoyed this episode! Shannon, I have read your book “Fantasy Fallacy” and it opened my eyes to why I struggled for so many years in the area of sexual temptation. The struggle is still there, but a tenth of what it once was. I was molested as a child and know this had a great deal to do with it. Literally from the age of eight to 43 (just 5 years ago) I was addicted to porn. I like to call myself a monogamous sex addict during that time. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Hey James,
Thanks for your feedback. I’m glad you found value in this episode and thanks for your willingness to make yourself vulnerable in sharing your struggles.
