WARNING: TRIGGERS! 

In this special edition of the podcast Mike and Kirk interview...pornography. The IP Mistress herself. Listen in on how she thinks and get a glimpse into some of her motives. And, find out why men can't "just quit." You may be surprised. 

In this episode, Mike and Kirk share a quick summary of the Six Vs: Visualization, Variety, Vitality, Victory, Vacation and Validation. Please listen to all them again if they have hit home or have deeper meaning for you. 

In this continuation of our discussion on Validation, Mike and Kirk talk about safety and intimacy and the idea of the power of getting to a place of finding the right validation within the safe confines of good relationships. 

The man's need for validation, so fundamental to his identity should come from a place of masculinity. Sadly, too many men (and boys) seek it in all the wrong places. In this first of a two part finale to the Six Vs, Kirk and Mike discuss why pornography will only leave him wanting more and more yet get it. 

Who needs a vacation? You do! Or so many of us men say to ourselves when we tap or click on that site. To get away, even if for a few minutes to escape the hurt, pain, irritation, or whatever we feel we need to get away from. The IP Mistress awaits. But there is a price. There always is.

It's the moment we hope never happens. It's the moment when she has said enough is enough and now that habit or addiction has caught up with him. She has said she wants a divorce. What happens next?
