How easy is it to become addicted to pornography? Mandy Rose Jones hears from podcaster Paul Shields about the toll his porn usage took on his life.

When should you start to worry about your porn usage? Mandy Rose Jones is a blogger and founder of The Empowered Woman Project. In this episode of Original Pilot Material, she chats to podcaster Paul Shields about an issue that eventually took grip on his whole life: pornography addiction. Paul talks candidly about his experience, the effect it had on his mental health and how it eventually led to the end of a relationship. However, there was light at the end of the tunnel for Paul who now helps others deal with their own addiction. Mandy also has a frank and forthright chat with her friend Susie about their own porn usage, seeking an answer to the burning question: How much porn is too much porn?
