Why Men Struggle to Talk Honestly About Porn

November 11, 2026 · 29 min

Show notes

Why is it so hard for men to talk openly about pornography? Why do so many men struggle to quit porn alone? And how can friendship, accountability, and peer support help someone break free from unwanted porn use?

In this bonus episode of Consider Before Consuming, Jordan sits down with Jace Kendrick, cofounder and CEO of Relay, an app designed to help people overcome pornography through peer support and accountability. Together, they explore why men often joke about porn but struggle to discuss it honestly, how shame and isolation can keep people stuck, and what happens when someone finally opens up about their experiences. They also discuss how to support a friend who wants to quit porn, why setbacks don't erase progress, and the importance of connection in recovery.

This episode is sponsored by Relay, a secure peer-support app that connects you with a small group of people who understand what you’re going through and help you stay accountable on your journey to quit porn. In November, CBC listeners can try Relay for 30 days for just $1 days by signing up at http://ftnd.org/joinrelay.
